Photobooths: In or Out?

Photobooths are a great source of entertainment and the pictures can do double-duty as favors, which is always a plus! Do you think photobooths are just a phase, or do you think they’re a new reception staple? What’s your opinion? Is the photobooth trend in or out? Photo from QuikPics PhotoBooth in...

What’s your opinion? Is the photobooth trend in or out?

    Still in! & the photos can serve as a keepsake of your wedding! I'm classing mine up a bit and doing my own backdrop (wood pallete) & a custom neon sign. Also not doing props I think thats when it gets tacky.

    In and a "must do." Your guests can do their own selfies and with a photographer and props, everyone has a fabulous time. I like the photo-studio type, not the closed booth. People should move, flashes should be happening from the camera and ambient lights should be added to a great shiny background. Really puts people (even shy people) in a real party mood. Go for it!

    Out. I teach at a high school and we have them at all the dances. They tend to break down and are a pain

    I believe they are in. It allows for people to mingle and enjoy themselves in addition to going home with a keepsake of the evening.

    I've always LOVED photobooths; like since I was old enough to spend my own money on them at the mall - I think for our wedding we're going to add some floral back drop to a nice wooded wall we have a set a camera up as a more DIY thing.

    I think photobooths are great because they encourage guests who may not be out on their cell phones taking pictures so that way we can have a pictures of MOST of our guests!

    It's definitely a know your audience kind of thing. My sister put up a station at my bachelorette and it was a hit with my friends, so she told my mom about it and my mom asked me to look into it with the wedding two weeks out!

    IN! I have been to so many events and I always love sneaking away with my FI and taking cute photos to celebrate our night out.

    This is something where if you have the money and room it can be so fun! I am thinking of a "do it yourself" photo booth where we have set up and people just use their phones. I love seeing more personalized props in photobooths to make the photos just that much more memorable.

    I have no idea, really. They seem to be pretty popular, and I might get one for mine! at least it is just another fun thing for people to do.

    I think they are still in, to be honest. If there was space in my budget or if extra money presents itself, I would definitely get one.
