Selfie sticks or Photo booth

MrsPope, on September 14, 2015 at 1:04 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 56

This is my 3rd post of the day so don't stone me haha!

Would you prefer a selfie stick as a favor (appropriate for my guests) or a photo booth?

I've attended many weddings that had photo booths, but only one that gave all their guests selfie sticks. We probably took thousands of pics all over the wedding with everyone, and posted them immediately with their hashtag. I personally loved it. I do love the booths also, but I never know where my strips are afterwards.

Thoughts?

    I typically think that selfie sticks look ridiculous. My sons team mom for football walks around with one at the games and it drives me nuts LOL. Buttttttttttt I think what you are describing is actually pretty awesome. I would enjoy using it at a wedding, as long as they don't get in the way.

    There is almost nothing I hate more than a selfie stick. Except a cash bar.

    My wedding last night had a Star Wars themed photo booth, and I have to tell you it was packed for as long as I was there!

    @MrsBrinkleyToBe I think so too lol. They shouldn't get in the way because they will be located in the reception area.

    @Emc2 @FMP I love them too! But its like every one has then now.

    I think the photo booth idea usually goes over really well with people. I've never seen the selfie stick idea though!

    We had a selfie stick on each table and they were a HUGE hit. Everyone loved it and even the photographers got into the spirit. It really helped our hashtag take off and it's fun to see each tables perspective posted on social media. Guests walked off with them and were still using them at our goodbye breakfast the next morning.

    I would go with the selfie stick. I have never used one, but I feel like in a wedding setting, I'd be inclined to use it. Also, I dislike photobooths. I would rather have my friends and family taking goofy selfies with me on the dance floor than in line waiting for the photobooth.

    ETA: typo

    @Jessi How many did you buy per table?

    @Rosemary I think it depends on your crowd and age group. My crowd LIVES for social media. Like we are obsessed lol.

    @Diana Steal way haha!

    I like the selfie stick idea! We have been thinking of putting one on each table. I'm hoping people will be motivated use the hashtag tag and we will end up with some fun pics Smiley smile

    I hated selfie sticks until I used one. I have been to so many weddings with a photo booth and feel like they are played out. I say selfie stick all the way. I know people at my wedding would love them.

    Haha What the hell is all the hate with the selfie stick? I went on a crazy road trip and we used a selfie stick for every picture and they came out great! You cant even tell that we used it because the angles were spot on. I think photo booths have become standard and I frankly think they occupy too much of the guests time.
