Selfie stick DIY photo area at cocktail hour?

I would suggest you skip it. People will be taking plenty of pictures and selfies and they don't need a backdrop or an obtrusive selfie stick. They most likely won't use your hash tag so don't waste your time with one or spend any money making up a sign.

Personally, I don't like the use of photo booths at weddings. They take people away from the reception. It's bad enough some people insist on obsessively taking photos instead of just enjoying and living in a moment. They don't need a designated space to do it.

I think this is a great idea to keep people entertained during cocktail hour. The props make it fun for people of all ages!

We were thinking of doing something similar, I think its a great idea.

Usually I get bored during cocktail hour so what I'm planning on doing for mines is to have board games in each table. For example in one cocktail table I will have jenga, in other table I will have chess, in another one dominoes. The photobooth is a great idea for the reception. People love it.

We did this at our wedding. It was a hit! I would suggest buying selfie sticks that have the aux cord instead of bluetooth. I did have to buy a few converters for the newer iPhones, but they were cheap and it worked out just fine! Target sells the selfie stick I'm referring to in their dollar section (for $5). I bought three but really only needed two when all was said and done. Also, I did not take the selfie station down during the reception. It eventually fizzled out on its own and became dancing instead.

I hate selfie sticks and I think this is a really cool idea! Like it a lot!

I like the selfie station idea is really fun! Set up a hashtag so you can see the photos and get some cheapie party city props and your good to go. Attach something long to the selfie stick so that guests don't walk off with it.

Awesome idea! I would add a nice sign to let your guests know your hashtag

Yes that will be great! I'm doing the same thing. People love to take silly pictures and that will keep them busy while the wedding party is taking pictures. Go for it!

EBay has a DIY prop set (244 pieces) for $8. What's your theme?

Huge hit at weddings I've seen this at.

I think this is really fun!

I love the idea! Sounds fun!

I'm doing this- had a personalized backdrop made! I think it'll be fun!

I think this is an awesome idea! I might steal it.
