A Word About Props…

Regarding props.  They can certainly add some fun to the photo booth rental experience, but if you go with them at all, my advice is to go light.  Going overboard with the props will result in a couple hundred strips of nearly anonymous people dressed up in the same costume.  A few mustaches-on-a-stick (see above photo taken during a photo booth rental at a wedding in Connecticut), chalk and a chalkboard, and some funny sunglasses will do the trick.  My bias is to get people in the photobooth as they came to your event.  The magic of the photobooth happens when the curtain closes.  In the safety of their little private photo studio, your guests will feel free to let another side their personalities come out.  They will ham it up with or with out props.  You want as much of the real them as possible for your photo scrapbook.
