8 Tips for Making the Most of a Photo Booth at Your Wedding
A SOUNDfonix photo booth is one of the most exciting additions you can have at your wedding. It’s not just a way to capture memories but also a source of endless entertainment for your guests. To ensure your photo booth is a hit, here are eight tips to make the most of it:
1. Choose the Right Location
Place the photo booth in a high-traffic area near the reception space. Guests are more likely to use it if they see it frequently throughout the event. Avoid tucking it away in a corner where it might be overlooked.
2. Customize the Backdrop
Personalize your photo booth with a backdrop that matches your wedding theme or colors. From floral walls to rustic wood panels, a unique backdrop adds a special touch to every photo and ties the booth into your overall decor. Some colours work better than others, of course, but we can accommodate almost any colour back drop.
3. Customize The Props
Most photo booth companies will stock the booth with items like hats, wigs, glasses, and signs, but did you know that you can customize props?
Is there an an inside joke among your friends? Turn it into a prop.
Do you have a pet? Make a custom cutout of your pets head, and include them in the fun.
Ask us how we can do that for you!
4. Offer Digital and Print Options
Many modern photo booths can provide both digital and printed copies of the photos. Digital options allow guests to share pictures on social media instantly, while prints serve as tangible keepsakes. If possible, include your wedding date or a custom monogram on the prints.
5. Create a Guest Book
Encourage guests to leave a copy of their photo booth pictures in a guest book alongside a note or message. It’s a wonderful way to combine photos and well-wishes in one memorable keepsake for you to treasure.
6. Incorporate Fun Challenges
Spice things up by including mini photo booth challenges. For example, you could ask guests to take photos that fit themes like “best group pose,” “funniest face,” or “fanciest couple.” Prizes for the best entries can add an extra layer of excitement. Ask us about some fun challenges.
7. Have an Attendant
If possible, hire an attendant to manage the photo booth. They can help guests understand how to use it, keep props organized, and ensure everything runs smoothly throughout the event. We always provide an attendant for the photo booth at weddings. Technical glitches can happen, our attendants will take care of it.
