Are photo booth props getting over done?

O haven't seen photobooths ar indian weddings.

However, there was a new way of guests taking pictures standing infront if a green screen and they can wear props. You let the company know what background you want set when the picture is printed. It was pretty cool of technology.

I am in the beginning stages of wedding planning and I am hoping to have a photo booth but dIY. Create a simple background and go to the dollar store for some simple photo props. I picked up some black chalkboard word bubbles for 1.50 a piece for 10 word bubbles double sided. Guests can use there own cameras and Wedding Wire has there own app where your guests can share the photos for you to have them as well.

Could also make some DIY props to make it more fun.

Changing backdrops could be a pain. We're doing a photo booth and the props should suffice. Cheers!!!

That's a nice touch to exchange your vows. I'm sure the family pressure is on you but try to simplify. My daughter's sister-in-law had an Italian wedding (both are Italian decent) and it cost $50,000.00. I'm sure they received a lot of it back in gifts but seriously, I can think of better things to do with that money (like put it in an RRSP and watch it double every 10 years). I don't believe you have to do what's expected. This is your day (and FH's too) so don't be afraid to stand up for what you want. Don't let people bowl you over if there's something you don't like.

View quoted message I agree with you 100%! I'm stuck however, to plan a big fat Italian wedding since my destination wedding was shot down. Some of these ideas I loathe (candy bar), but we gotta do what's expected of us sometimes unfortunately. We're planning to exchange our written vows on the day of prior to the ceremony so we can read them alone and reflect on what the day really means and why we've planned all this before we meet at the alter.

I think most trends are being overdone. Photo booths, candy bars, over the top décor, etc. are being done over and over again. It's gotten to the point that if you don't do things to "entertain" your guests, you've put on a so-so wedding. Have we forgotten that it's a celebration of the bride and groom's promises to eachother? It's not a circus to entertain the masses.

Thanks everyone for your input! I think we will stick with the props!

I feel like it might be overdone for people who are at these kind of parties every weekend but I sincerely doubt our guests are in that position. I think they're easy enough to have on hand and if no one wants to use them, they won't.

I don't like the idea of props but that's just my opinion. I think that if I was using a photo booth I would still want to have props though for people who may want to use them. I figure if some people want to use them the props are there at least but if some people think it's lame or don't want to use them then they don't have to include them in their photos, but at least the option is there!

We are having a photobooth and we are just using props for ours. I have never actually used a photobooth before and gotten the experience of using the props or backdrops! I feel if I were a guest I might miss out if there weren't any props just because maybe not everyone has used a photobooth and it might be something guests are looking forward to! But that is just my personal thoughts on it, you might have a very different crowd then the guests attending my wedding and so maybe different backdrops would be perfect for them! You could always ask some people who are invited to your wedding what their thoughts are on photobooths and if they prefer props etc..
