Diy selfie wall / backdrop

joey, on May 11, 2018 at 9:43 AM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 9

So I decided to have a selfie wall for the guests since my girlfriend was really encouraging me to do this and thought it would be fun for the guests. I thought about it and was like 'you know that might work out because it'll give the guest something to do during cocktail hour'. So I decided to just put up a backdrop in the cocktail room and have a basket with some props and selfie sticks. I thought this was the most economical way to do it because I definitely did not want to rent a photobooth.


I received the hanging flower backdrop I ordered from orientaltrading for $15 and it is beautiful! I'm going to create a foam board cornice to cover over the top of the flower backdrop. I'm going to cover the cornice with white coffee filters made into flowers, in the middle I'll have another foamboard with our our name and wedding date. It will be so awesome! I'm excited about this project! Just wanted to share an idea in case someone might be interested in doing something similar to save money.

    We also have something similar. I think we are also going to get a guestbook and put it by our diy photobooth and get one of the camera's where you can print out your photos right then and there. So instead of just writing your name in the guestbook, you'll leave your picture as well! Thank goodness they has many printers for your phone now. BUT, if that idea doesn't work, we might buy Polaroid cameras and place them at every table so people can take their own pictures throughout the reception for us! We are inviting quite a few people and are a little worried we can't spend time with everyone individually so I love this idea

    I'm doing this also, I have the backdrop and will get the stand foe it soon. I thought about getting a printer where people can print the photos from their cell phones. I'm not decided on that part yet.

    I’m going to mount mine to the wall. The venue does allow it as long as you use the 3M removable mounting tape

    For our our engagement party we used curtains. We were going to put lights behind it as well and one more curtain behind that (so you couldn’t see the wall on the other side), but we ran out of time lol I LOOVED the way it came out and had to save it for the wedding. Our colors are Navy Blue, Burgundy, and Gold so I love that we were able to stick to that
