Why have a wedding photo booth?

The photo booth experience is fun and interactive. It keeps the party going, gives guests something to do, and allows you to capture memories of your wedding that you’ll cherish forever.

Wedding photo booths are great for just about any type of celebration—whether it’s a big fancy wedding or a small, intimate gathering.

How much is a photo booth for a wedding

If you’re wondering how much a photo booth is for a wedding, the cost will depend on some factors. The size and how many attendants you hire will affect the price of your photo booth rental, but there are ways to save money if you don’t want to hire it for very long.

The average cost of hiring an attendant-free photo booth at a wedding is around $400. However, if you hire an attendant-free photo booth that can accommodate between 2 and 10 people at once, you can cut costs by choosing a smaller option and limiting the number of guests who can squeeze into the booth together at once.

Booth Bus

There are many different types of photo booths to choose from, so it all depends on your budget and what you’re looking for. If you want something that’s unique and will really stand out, then you should consider a booth bus! Booth Bus is a unique and fun way to create lasting memories with your friends and family.

Personalized Photo Booth Backdrop

Now that you’ve got the basics of a photo booth down, it’s time to take your photo booth up a notch. At this point, the thought of having a plain white backdrop behind your guests is probably making you cringe. Instead, let’s talk about some fun and creative ways to personalize your wedding photo booth backdrop so that it really reflects who you are as a couple.

  • Create Your Own Sign: Personalize your backdrop by creating an original sign with vinyl lettering (or stencils) that spells out your names or initials. This can also be done with paint or chalkboard paint if you’re feeling crafty! For example: “Mr. & Mrs…. The end!”
  • Use Something Pre-Made: If crafting isn’t really in your wheelhouse but still want something unique for your backdrop, try using pre-made items such as cutouts from magazines or photos printed onto fabric sheets (like this one!). You could even use fabric pieces left over from other projects around home—but just make sure they don’t have any rips or holes before sticking them on!

Signs and Posters

You can get your guests to participate by hanging signs and posters on the walls. You can use chalkboards, frames, or wooden signs. This will be a fun way for them to express themselves!

Face-in-hole

A fun way to add some extra excitement and entertainment to your wedding photo booth is to set up a “face-in-hole” board. Cut out some fun shapes or faces from cardboard or paper and let your guests stick their heads through for a silly photo op!

Balloons

If you want to add something fun to your photo booth, balloons are a great choice. They come in so many different colors and shapes that it’s easy to find a design that matches your wedding theme. Red and blue are the most popular colors for wedding balloons, but you can also choose pink or purple if you prefer. Balloons in other shapes like stars or hearts are also very popular choices for weddings.

Balloons can be placed on the floor, on the walls, or even on the ceiling of your photo booth!

Neon Signs

Neon signs are a great way to add some color and interest to your wedding photo booth. They’re fun, bright and colorful — not only that, they can be used as a backdrop for your photo booth. These neon signs come in all shapes and sizes, but the best part is that they’re easy to put together. You just need an outlet or generator and voila! Your space is lit up with bright colors from these futuristic light boxes.

Plants and Flowers

It’s true that plants and flowers are a great way to decorate a photo booth, especially for garden-themed weddings. You can use live plants or fake flowers, in vases or as garlands. Flowers can also double as props—use them to decorate your guests’ heads, or have them hold bouquets of flowers while they pose for pictures. Flowers can even serve as backdrops for photographs!

The key is to think creatively about how you’ll use the plants and flowers you want to incorporate into your decorations. For example, if you want to use real roses on each table at your reception but don’t want them taking up space in the booth itself (and don’t mind using fake ones instead), consider using clippings from those roses in lieu of flower crowns when people come in—it’s an easy way to get the effect without having an impact on how much space there is available inside!

White Frames

White frames, whether they’re the standard size or an oversized square frame, offer an easy way to add color to your wedding photo booth. You can use white frames for anything from creating a photo booth backdrop to hanging signs and posters on them. Plus, they come in all kinds of shapes and sizes so you can choose exactly what you want!

Flags and Bunting

Flags and bunting are an excellent way to decorate the photo booth area. They can be used to create a theme or color scheme, or you could even use them as a backdrop for your photos.

To make sure that you get the most out of them, try decorating them with ribbons, bows and other decorations so that they look more like part of your event than just something hanging on the wall!

Hanging Lights

The easiest way to make your photo booth unique is by hanging lights of different colors from the ceiling. If you have a blank canvas (literally) on which to work, consider using string lights or fairy lights to create a canopy over the backdrop. This will give your photos a dreamy look and can add an extra splash of color to match the decor of your wedding!

Rustic & Country Styles

A rustic country wedding wouldn’t be complete without a photo booth with a wood pallet backdrop and a tree stump! Add some hay bales for extra country flair, and you and your guests will have a blast taking fun photos!

Paper Flowers

Paper flowers are one of the most popular DIY projects for weddings because they’re cheap, easy to make, and can be made from recycled paper. If you want to save money on your wedding decorations, but still want a bohemian vibe, this is the way to go.

Here’s how:

  • 1. Find out what kind of paper you’re going to use by checking out Pinterest (or even making your own research). You can use anything from tissue paper and scrapbooking cardstock to newspaper!
  • 2. Cut your chosen material into petal shapes using scissors or an X-Acto knife (an X-Acto blade works really well for cutting intricate shapes). For thicker materials like cardstock or thin cardboard—like what you would find in cereal boxes—you may need something stronger than regular scissors so try an X-acto blade instead.
  • 3. Optional step: Color each piece with crayons before assembling so that they match better when they’re finished!

Photo Frame Clusters

Use a cluster of photo frames to create a backdrop for your photo booth. You can use varying sizes, colors, and shapes to play off the theme of your wedding. For instance, if you’re having an outdoor wedding or venue that has lots of outdoorsy touches (like trees or flowers), consider using rustic-looking wooden frames. If you’re hosting your event in a city venue with brick walls, antique gold metal plates make great options.

You can also use these cluster backdrops as decor behind your guests when they’re waiting in line for their turn at the photobooth—or even hang them up on every wall around your party space with string!

  • Balloons
  • Confetti poppers (which shoot out confetti when pressed)
