Into It or Over It: Photobooths?

Lynnie, on February 12, 2018 at 10:05 Posted in Wedding reception 0 42

This week we’re talking all about wedding trends! The past few years of weddings have been a major "photobooth phase"! What do you think? Are they still fun or are they overdone?

Photobooths....are you into it or over it?

    Over it - I always found that the trend was kinda of childish to begin and now super overdone.

    I'm into it but not sure if we'll really be doing this for our own wedding.

    INTO IT. We’re getting a photobooth for our wedding. It is expensive, but we felt like it would be a nice touch and would encourage guests to get out of their seats and have fun. I know the kids attending are also going to love it.

    I am neither into it or over it - but my FH really wants one, so we are going to have a self service one set up.

    Over it. Way over done! Don't care if it's with Polaroid, the actual photo booth, or put the pictures on a magnet - it's just done way to often.

    Over it... I've used some in the past, we considered it... but overall it's not worth it for us. We'd rather spend that money on an extra drink for everyone.

    We're doing this, DYI style. Hopefully it comes out well.

    Over it. Mostly for the prices. And diy is time consuming sometimes

    Love it! We are doing one and the booth prints out 2 copies of a three picture strip. One you keep, the other goes into a book where you can write a message. Every event i have been to the photo booth alwaus has a line and it will be a hit with my guests!

    I agree with most on here where it’s a good idea but too expensive.

    I think they can be fun however I think they are overpriced and that money can be used in better places.

    I’m into it, but we’re not going to do a professional one. I’m going to set out my instant camera by our guestbook with some film, so we can have photos in our guestbook.

    Over it! These can get super pricey. It would be something I'd rather have for our Jack&Jill than our wedding, but still not something I'm willing to pay for

    Super into the idea, but not the price. We’re not having one because we have a small, historic manor as a venue, and there isn’t much space, however I still like them.

    They're fun, but we didn't have the space or the budget for one. We bought a Polaroid camera and had it available during the reception and people LOVED it!

    Over it! I’ve been to around 10 networking events/ weddings/ Christmas parties in the past 3 years that all had one. The pictures are usually thrown out the next day. If you can get copies of the photos that could be fun to keep but otherwise they are an expensive novelty. Almost every event it required coaxing to get people to go over and take pictures. Make a special request to your photographers ( or spend the money on a 2nd photographer) to take pictures of your guests instead.

    Into it. Our photography package includes a 45min photo booth. Just need to figure out the best time to pull it out.

    I was shocked by how expensive they are! We ended up getting one for a good price and we’re using it as our favors as well as for our guest book so I feel justified in how much we spent!

    Over it. The hype surrounding them have bumped up their prices quite a bit.

    We are doing one! It's always a hit with our friends and family. A frivolous purchase but we both wanted one. I recently had a wedding nightmare that I freaked out and cried at our wedding because no one was using it. 😂 LOL
