When searching the web for DIY photo booth solutions you will find that there are an array of options. The best way to stay sane and not empty your pocketbooks is to use a solution that works best for you.

First you want to think about the equipment you already own.  The equipment you use can be as simple as a cell phone on a tripod or a regular camera. If you'd like to take it a step further you can use a computer monitor, mouse and a printer.  You can choose to print that day, have your guests send the photos via social media, or save the photos on your device and use them as you choose. The options are limitless!

There are some great apps out there to choose from if you'd like to use your phone or tablet. Here are a few: Wedding Booth App, Simple Booth App, Live Booth App, and Pocket Booth. Zink is also an awesome option for fast, on the spot printing options. 

Back-drops will totally be up to you! The style or feel of the event will most likely influence the route you go when creating a back drop. This is your time to get creative!

Or try creating a backdrop using ribbon, lace, burlap, whatever! Hang it up using a pipe structure as you see here, or use a sturdy rope and hang it where you choose.

Props will most likely be the easiest part of the process. You can DIY fun signs and masks or just purchase some fun items from a local costume shop or party outlet.  Another great place to check out is a local thrift store for some funky hats, glasses, etc.

Regardless of which route you go, adding a "photo booth" option to your event will surely create even more priceless memories and fun for all, young and old alike!
