Your wedding day is one of the most beautiful moments of your life, and it’s a day when you want everything to be perfect – just the way you’ve dreamt or planned.
It’s just one day – rather, only 10-12 hours – but you’ll go to any length to make sure that it turns out to be the best day of your life. After all, it’s the day when you become one with your soulmate and start on a journey to live happily ever after.
One of the best things people do at weddings is hire photographers so that you can immortalize all the precious memories to have and cherish forever. Another way you can make your special day even more meaningful is by setting up a wedding photo booth. Although It’s quite a unique idea, people are now coming around to it.
Let’s take a look at why photo booths are such a fantastic idea for your wedding and some tips to help you select the best one.
Why Should You Have A Wedding Photo Booth?
At a wedding, people are having a blast, dancing, laughing, and having fun together. Many beautiful moments occur, but since they happen all over the place, one photographer simply can’t keep up. This is why you can set up a wedding photo booth so that people can gather together and have their photos taken.
Wedding photo booths are also the latest trend that’s being endorsed by wedding planners and photographers. This not only adds a touch of fun to your wedding, it also lets you get let loose with all your family and friends.
Another excellent reason why you should have a wedding photo booth is that you can take the pictures you’ve clicked with your loved ones and gift them as souvenirs or wedding favors. There’s nothing more that people will love than a memorable photo with you on the best day of your life. It also saves you from spending hours making wedding party favors which people often lose or discard.
Tips to Make Your Wedding Photo Booth Awesome
Now that we’ve discussed how amazing wedding photo booths can be, let’s see how you can make them a surefire success:
Choose the Perfect Location
Just like a billboard, the perfect location for a wedding photo booth is a high-traffic area. And at the wedding, it could be near the bar or straight on the dance floor, since most people grab their drinks, take a swig and head straight to the dance floor to show their moves! It should be placed in such a way that your guests can’t miss it. And if they can’t miss it, then they’d certainly get behind it to get themselves clicked.
Beware! Your wedding planner might tell you that the best place to put your wedding photo booth is at the entrance or in the hallway. Make sure you don’t listen to them and place it at a location where people can use it.
Get People to Notice It
If step one doesn’t bring people to your wedding photo booth, you can enlist the help of the DJ, emcee, or a friend who is good at speaking to bring the attention of everyone to the photo booth. All they have to do is announce (in a creative way) that the photo booth is set up at a specific location and encourage people to head over there and get their fun pictures clicked. This will undoubtedly stir people up, and they’ll want to goof off at the wedding photo booth.
You can also place signs or banners on the guests’ tables or at various locations at your venue to remind people where the wedding photo booth is. The more people come to the wedding photo booth, the greater memories you’ll have to laugh about afterward.
Make it Attractive
There’s nothing duller than a photo booth that doesn’t draw people towards it. This means that you have to make your photo booth as attractive and flashy as can be. When it comes to designing your photo booth, no color is too bright, and no idea is too weird. You can even put up lights on it, and people will simply love it.
If you’re enlisting the help of your wedding planner or a friend to design your wedding photo booth, make sure you’re able to communicate to them how you want it to be. Otherwise, you won’t be able to say anything to them once it’s ready and set up at your wedding venue.
Add a Backdrop
Typically, wedding photo booths are like photo frames, and you stand behind them as the photographer clicks your pictures. But you can take it up a notch by adding a backdrop to your photo booth. It can be anything, from plain colored background to an emoji-filled wallpaper. You can even add a curtain at the back to make it more interesting! The only thing that matters is that it should be attractive, and it should be fun.
Adding a backdrop to your wedding photo booth will enhance the photos you take with your friends and will also highlight your wedding’s style properly.
Add Props to the Mix
There’s no better way to make your wedding photo booth even more fun than by adding photo booth props to it. You can easily find wedding-themed props at any party store, or you can have your wedding vendor arrange them for you. But, if you’re looking to spruce things up, get your personalized wedding photo booth props with your names or photos, etc.
And that concludes our fun and helpful guide to using a wedding photo booth to make your wedding more amazing. Just make sure to follow the helpful tips we’ve mentioned above, and who knows? Maybe your wedding photo booth will become the highlight of the event!
