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.
Clear Plastic Photo-strip Frames – a nice touch.

Providing something for your guests to preserve and display their photo-strips with is a nice gesture. The clear acrylic frames pictured above (from a wedding featuring our photo booth rental at Castle Hill in Newport, Rhode Island) were sourced on ebay. We’ve had many brides who use them – or some other kind of wooden frame – to display table assignments. It is a nice touch and ensures that each guests receives one. After jumping in the photo booth most guests will put their favorite photo-strip in the frame right away and display it at their table for everyone to see.

It is rare these days that anyone has a current, hard-copy photo of themselves. Everything is digital – jpgs on facebook. Guests are thrilled to have a picture that they can hold in their hand of themselves, dressed to the nines, having fun with family and friends. It is our goal to send your guests home with as many photo-strips as they can carry (the photo above was taken at a back yard wedding we did in Greenwich, Connecticut). With our photo booth rentals everyone has unlimited access to duplicate photo-strips. Instant gratification and something they can hang on the fridge.
Eleven Photobooth Rental Tips to Consider

- Have the photobooth available starting with the cocktail hour. Guests are often looking for something to do, and the curiosity factor is high. You get more bang for your buck starting early than going late when most guests are focused on dancing and/or saying good byes.
- If possible keep the photobooth as close to the action as possible. You want the guestbook to be full and your guests to go home with a stack of photo-strips. The closer the booth is to the bar or to the dance floor the more use it will get.
