    Overrated. They were fun and cool a few years ago, but no one uses them anymore.

    I think overrated only because it's no longer a unique idea and you can have the photo booth at any event like Christmas parties. I like the idea of something instant like the Wedshoots app (we are going to use that.) I am a 90s kid and miss the idea of the disposable cameras on the table LOL.

    Love them! We are having one at our wedding. It’s fun for all ages, and gives everyone a souvenir that they will actually enjoy

    I'm in between, cost-wise overrated, but underrated for the fun and entertainment they provide for the guests

    Underrated.
    It's something fun to do at any age and very easy to throw together, even if it is not a photographer-manned. Tripos and a point and shoot set on a delay.

    It's one of those activities that any one who doesn't want to do it aren't forced to either.

    Underrated - I love photobooths! I think they're so fun and it leaves the guests with a souvenir of the fun they had that night. That said it shouldn't become a thing guests expect at weddings.

    Overrated. I feel like this has become standard at a wedding with the amount of people having them.
    Everyone has cameras and is taking pictures. Plus you then have to take time out of dancing to wait in line for a couple pictures.

    Lol I have fun with them. I think it's a great way to get a picture of everyone at your wedding. My sister had one and it was great. Her wedding wa the last one I went to in 2012 ugh. Can't wait for my wedding to have some fun.

    Neither really! I have never attended a wedding with a photo booth.

    We had a photobooth, and with our open bar, it was a hit and we have lots of blackmail-material on our family and friends - but I think it's time for something else to take over the trend for entertainment. They're starting to get overrated.

    I'd probably still do a photobooth if I had to re-plan my wedding lol

    Underrated! They're fun! We're going to do a few selfie backdrops since we're doing a polaroid guest book. Our friends love to take photos, so I have no doubts about our photobooths getting used

    Overrated, especially now that everyone uses them. That's what phones are for.

    Overrated. It's become one of those things that is overdone and I haven't seen them get used that much at the weddings we've been at

    Overrated, but people love them and they create lasting memories and if there's plenty of props then they can be really fun

    Overrated - They are so expensive and I don't think the cost is worth it.

    Overrated - we aren't in highschool anymore are we? Or maybe it's just because we had this for my highschool graduation and that was only in 2015?
