    Not necessary, but if it's in the budget when everything else is taken care of I may have one. I think it would be fun

    Lucky you!!! I want the mirror booth!!! it's not in budget right now, we're building a house as well. BUT as soon as the house is finished and we pay for the wedding if I have the coins to do it, I am definitely gonna get that mirror booth!!

    I don’t like them and stay away from them at weddings generally

    Not necessary. It's an extra expence and not something that fits everyone's theme

    Not necessary, because of the photographer.

    I vote not necessary... we are having a live band and i'd hate to see people waiting in line at a photo booth instead of enjoying the band. the venue has lots of great spots to grab a pic if people want

    Not necessary! We’re skipping one because FH thinks they’re cheesy (I think they’re fun, but he was pretty adamant about this decision).

    No, I will not be having this at my wedding.
    I have been to many that have had them and every single one had lines of people waiting for the Photo Booth and nobody was dancing.

    Necessary? No.

    Fun? Yes.

    We fit the photobooth into our budget so we will be having one.

    To cover the cost of extras, like the photobooth, we decided against Save the Dates and physical invites. Everything is electronic now and people can RSVP with the click of a button. We think the photobooth will be a great addition, especially during the bride changing into a second dress, people waiting for their turn at the buffet, in between the bar, dancing, kids, etc. Also, most photobooths give the bride and groom copies our all photos taken inside and place them in a photo album, which is a great keepsake.

    Not necessary but definitely fun. Me & FH are having one. We actually won the magic mirror photo booth through a contest so I’m super excited to try it out with our guests!

    I'm getting married in NY.
    I did a quick Google search for GA and sites definitely came up advertising the mirror booth so I hope you'll be able to find one!

    If there’s leftover money in the budget, sure we can get a photo booth. Is it absolutely necessary? No! I’d rather spend more money on a professional photographer & videographer than a silly photo booth with props

    A photo booth would be a nice addition to the reception but I won’t be doing one

    Not a necessity but a total blast when they’re there.

    Our daughters have gone to bridal expos with me and tried these out, they’ll be devastated if we don’t have one at our wedding though. LOL
