    Yay! Our venue has a photo booth, but they also have a VIDEO booth that I thought would be sooo much fun! We're having an open bar, and I'm kinda excited to watch everyone gradually get drunk off their butts!

    Nay. Saving the money it costs and using it towards something else. We’ll be too busy to get any photos in the booth anyway.

    Originally I wanted one but Fiancé said he’s good without it. We want the candid shots and quite honestly, people will use up film so quickly so we’re not even going to waste our money on that lol. We have a hashtag, they can use it so send us pics

    Yes! I love these at weddings and wouldn’t skip it. Of course it’s not a necessity so if the budget got really tight it might be something I could let go of

    No I thought about it but decided to save the money or really use that expense else where.

    No.

    We've enjoyed them at other weddings, but we also feel it takes people away from the main action/dancing, and we didn't like that. Besides, our view was so amazing, we figured that was it's own photo opportunity. (We were right, tons of pics of the sunset!)

    Yes, we are actually using the photobooth as our guest book. I got a scrapbook and some fun colored sharpies so people can glue down their photos and write their well-wishes on them! I am looking forward to this a ton!

    Nay. So much expense for vanity. we don't usually take a lot of pictures so the fact that there is even a photographer is strange for us.

    I would like one, but only if we have the extra money once we book everything. I was also thinking about just doing a DIY selfie station.

    Nope, we decided not to use one due to the cost.

    No, they're overdone and way too expensive. Our reception is going to be small and simple, mostly a get together with my family and friends I haven't seen in the years since I moved away. (My FH sees everyone on his side of the family every weekend, so it's not as big a deal for him xD)

    NOPE. We are expecting lots of dancing, plus we have a "selfie/instagram" area...like a cool backdrop people could take photos at.

    Yes, I really wanted one, since I love having and taking photos. Wasn't in the budget to hire one, so I am DIYing it with polaroid cameras. I found a bulk pack of film on amazon and some props from Target and other places.

    Nay. They’re fun but more expensive in my area than I want to spend.

    Yes! I enjoy them and always see people using them at weddings. I hope my guest enjoy it as much as I have at others weddings.

    I LOVE photo booths! I feel like it's a good way to get guests out of their seats and moving and keeping the fun going. Plus, guests are able to take home their pictures most times from the print out!

    Nay. I think they are a bit overdone lately. My guests would probably like it, but they won't miss it either. I have a feeling that the dance floor will be PACKED all night long!!!

    Unsure - We will not be having a photo booth company at the wedding because of our contract with our photographer, but he does offer an "open" photo booth if we want one. We'll decide when we see how packed the agenda is for the day!
