    If we could afford it, we would. But we'd rather put the money to other things.

    No- they would only have 2 hours to use it. It’s not worth it.

    Nay.It would just be a waste of money because not many if any of our guests would use it.

    It’s a good investment for a lower cost. People LOVE photo booths and you get some memories in the process. I vote yea!

    We thought we wanted one until we saw the cost. It looks fun - but the extra $500-1000 just doesn't seem worth it. We'll have lots of signs for our social media hashtag and hope to get some great candids that way (along with the photographer).

    I love photo booths, but not the kind with cheesy props.

    Yeah! My MIL suggested we have a scrap book near the photo booth so that the guest can put their photos inside and sign a little note next to it! I thought it was a great idea!

    Not having a true photo booth like a rental, but I'm dedicating an area for props and a polaroid camera! Saving some $$$ and the polaroids are simple and easy to just take home with the guests!

    YES! YES YES! Photobooths are a great way for your guests to have something to do during your reception, not everyone will want to engage in the dancing so a photobooth gives those guest an opportunity to do something other than "sit around and watch." We are also planning on positioning our photobooth near the bar so when there's a line for the bar guests will be able to pop in a get a photo while they wait!


    I will also be putting disposable cameras on all tables at the reception for guests to capture "their view" of the wedding for us and we will develop the pictures after! I'm so excited for this!

    Nay. This is such a weird trend! (To me! If Justin Bieber is doing it, then I'm sure I'm the weird one hahaha)

    A video booth? That sounds like SO much fun! Does it create little video snippets where people can leave you messages or what is the format?

    So far we have one but I don't think we are going to keep it because we may not have a spot for it at our venue

    Yea, sort of. We just reused a backdrop that was already used for the ceremony, and included our own props. Guests had to take their own pictures, there was no photographer hired just for that.
