DIY photobooth- printing questions

Allow vendors to comment

It wouldn't be quite the same but have you considered polaroids? I would think guests would be willing to snap a quick photo for each other and you could still put out props. The picture would print right away and you wouldn't have to worry about internet connection.

Following because my mom suggested this ( having props, a background, and polaroid camera) , i didnt want a photobooth but she thinks it would be cute and fun for guests. Ive never seen this done so Im curious if it is a thing.

Some printers can print via Bluetooth. I'd look for one of those. Then pair the printer with the iPad you're using Simple Booth for (great app choice, btw. I ended up hiring a company, but I also looked into Simple Booth and was very impressed).

It won't use WiFi or cell service. Only Bluetooth and you just need the device to be close by

$1300 is outrageous for a photo booth. I found some great deals on groupon. We originally wanted to DIY our photo booth, but its gonna save us money to rent one from groupon. The one we found is 500 for 4 hours with prints and digital copies for us and has all the props

We are doing to DIY using an iPad and photo booth app (was looking at simple booth). We are going to print pics and enclose in our thank you cards.

We are doing a DIY one having a local lady take photos then she will give me a disc and I will print off or upload them to Facebook. She's only charging me 250 for 4-5 hours

Maybe it depends on where you live but I'm tossing around the idea of a photobooth if I can save in other areas and they're $400-$600 and I haven't even looked on groupon. But yes, the DIY would be much cheaper, but I don't want my guests to worry about troubleshooting (printer jams, gets disconnected, runs out of paper, etc)

There is also that new digital polariod camera that you can choose what picture to automatically print. I have a friend that is planning to do that for her wedding instead of the photobooth, since all the quotes she got was around $1000, which is insane (all the ones in my area were the same as FutureMrsE between 400-600 range).

We are making our own back drop and buying props, and having people use selfie sticks. So instead of a photo booth we are going with Selfie Booth!!! It costed 150 to do everything!

This popped up on my Instagram yesterday https://www.amazon.com/Fujifilm-Instax-Share-Printer-SP-1/dp/B00HYAL84Q/ref=sr_1_18?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1485181366&sr=1-18&keywords=fujifilm+instax

They have other ones too. These are printers that connect via bluetooth to people's phones and print the photos.

That's a crazy amount.we have a booth for 5 hrs with props and the even give us a book of all the photos that were taken at the end of the night and it only running us $400
