Whether you’ve gone for an all-out professional rental or scratched together a do-it-yourself version, you’ll have a great time with your wedding photo booth rental.  Why? Because the photo booth rental cost is pretty low when you get a bunch of friends together in front of a camera with a timer, fun stuff happens!
Here are some ideas that will help ensure you and your friends take away great memories from your photo booth:
1) Personalize the backdrop
Even the fanciest backdrop gets better if you personalize it with a sign or other personal touch.  When you or your guests look back at their photos, they won’t just see a fun picture, they’ll be reminded of the entire event.  Pro tip: string together small mylar balloon letters to spell out your celebration.
Â
2) Fun props! Â
Ok, we're not telling you anything you don’t know with this one, but props are a must for all but the most formal of photo booths!  Funny hats, boas, glasses, and signs all encourage your guests to be fun and silly. Party stores are a good bet for a comprehensive selection, though you can pull together a fun set of props from just about anywhere. Pro tip: avoid props that completely cover your guests’ eyes.

3) Give frames as party favors
If your photo booth has a printer, give away personalized frames as party favors. Â Each guest will have a fun takeaway to remind them of the event, and it will create even more incentive for people to use the photo booth. Â Pro tip: make sure you pick a frame that matches the dimensions of your photo booth prints.
4) Pack a lot of people in! Â
Ever notice that the best photos are the ones with 10 people trying to get into the shot?  There’s something extra-funny about cramming a huge group into a tight space, so you get big, genuine smiles.  Pro tip: open-air photo booths give you the most opportunity to fit extra people in.

5) Sign the guestbook
The photo booth tends to generate a lot of traffic, so placing the guestbook nearby will ensure it gets noticed, and also serve as a welcome distraction if there is a line for the booth. Â Our photo booths have an electronic guestbook function as well, so your digital album includes personal messages in addition to the photos! Pro tip: move your guestbook from the reception entry to the photo booth area once your event is under way.
6) Create a hashtag so people can share
By creating a hashtag for your event (e.g. #johnandjane2019), you make it easy for people to share and view photos from your event. Â Our photo booths come with a digital album so you can share any or all photos after your event; others can use the hashtag to share their personal photos too! Â Pro tip: publish your hashtag in advance so people can start sharing even before the event starts.
7) Make a photo album Â
If you go to the trouble of setting up a photo booth, make sure you get copies of every photo! Â Many photo booths offer on-line albums (our photo booths generate digital albums for each event), but if yours only prints photo strips, have your guests keep one and save the other for your album. Â Pro tip: pay someone to collect the strips from each photo session and assemble an album during your event.
8) Dress up the foreground with a theme  Â
If you really want to go the extra mile, decorate your photo booth to create a fantasy environment. Â Fill it with decorations, or make a fancy sign expressing your theme. We have had guests dress up our booths with everything from ski lift chairs to airstream trailers!
