Your wedding is an opportunity to celebrate a significant milestone with your closest friends and family. While traditional staples exist, many modern celebrations feature entertaining additions, like photo booths, to enhance the guest experience. Photo booths allow couples and guests to capture each moment and let their silly side shine.
It’s a timeless activity with fun props and custom snapshots, elevating any event. If you want to rent a wedding photo booth for your reception party, follow this easy guide for the best interactive experience!
When you think about photo booths, what’s the first image that comes to mind? Many people picture a classic, enclosed booth, separating guests from the rest of the event. A traditional kiosk offers many benefits, like privacy and excellent lighting. It also establishes a safe space for users to take goofy photos without worrying about awkward stares from others.
While a conventional photo booth is an intimate option, it may take up space, limiting the reception party layout. In addition, the color of a standard booth may not align with your aesthetic. After carefully crafting your dream wedding, the last thing you want is an eyesore.
For some of these reasons, couples opt for an open-air photo booth. With a sleek design, the open concept ensures larger groups can take pictures without squeezing into a small box. It also provides a welcoming atmosphere, inviting all guests to participate.
An open-air photo booth is ideal for couples who want a customizable option that inspires attendees to try it out for themselves. If you want to learn more about open-air stalls, you can review our FAQs page!
Determining the best photo booth option is one of many factors to consider. But you’ll also want to keep placement in mind. One way to encourage guests to take pictures is by making the booth accessible in a high-traffic area. Setting it up by the dance floor or bar will give it visibility and a higher chance of being utilized.
Note: Allow additional space around the kiosk for lines.
Location plays a significant role, especially concerning light. If an open-air station is in the cards, position it away from windows. Natural light can interfere with the quality of the pictures. However, you can depend on your photo booth vendor for perfect lighting and brightness.
Besides location, you can interweave your event’s theme with a custom backdrop. From plain colors to glamorous textures, get creative and let your vision come alive. Here are some creative ideas to incorporate into your photo booth:
In addition to a unique backdrop, you can include fun props to elevate the experience. Silly hats, wigs, microphones, and custom signs allow guests to become new characters and tap into their childlike nature. With these tips, you can provide the ultimate photo booth experience while breaking the ice at your reception.
Let everyone know about this exciting addition with social media hashtags. Nowadays, social media is the place to share highlights. So if you want everyone to experience your wedding weekend to the fullest, add hashtags to your posts leading up to the date. Some popular options include #photobooth, #weddingphotobooth, and #photoboothfun.
Before you publish anything, give your photo vendor a shoutout by tagging them online. Doing so offers online exposure while creating anticipation for your festivities.
Another way of spreading the word is by featuring it on your invitations and wedding website. Invitations typically include the following details:
But standard etiquette doesn’t mean mandatory. You can add a personal spin by providing a sneak peek of your activities, highlighting the photo booth and games.
If you prefer the traditional route, post the specifics on your wedding website or social media. Wedding websites are quickly becoming the go-to tool for modern couples because they centralize all the information for guests. Are you planning to use a wedding website for your celebration? Create a bulletin page to keep everyone up-to-date.
Finally, you can never go wrong with word of mouth. Make a speech and invite guests to take memorable snapshots of themselves. Whether you mention the photo booth privately or during a toast, your attendees may feel more inclined to try it out for themselves after hearing about it.
Once you secure your dream kiosk, you’ll want to make it worthwhile. Try these simple tips to sidestep nerves and have a memorable photo booth experience:
Your photo booth pictures are also perfect keepsakes. If you’re searching for a unique guest book idea, let your photo booth take center stage. Leave a scrapbook next to the kiosk and have your guests tape their printed copies to the book.
Afterward, they can write a sentimental message to you and your partner. It’s a creative idea to make your guest book even more special! Plus, it allows you to relive the fun from your night.
An entertaining addition to your festivities, a photo booth can bring out the best in your guests and allow them to experience each exciting moment. Whether you select an enclosed or open-air booth, a professional can guarantee your photos look exceptional.
