Photo Booths are always a great addition to any event whether it be a wedding, birthday party, graduation party, or just a family get together! What's great is you will have fun photos to cherish, and you can also use the photos to make your guest book all the more personal.
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!
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!
Creating a backdrop using empty frames while implementing old photos gives you a chance to include those family members who are no longer here with you to celebrate.
Balloons are such a fun and easy option, and the color selections are limitless!
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!
