Wedding Forum - Wedding photo booth...

We are making our own wedding photo booth with an ipad and dress up stuff,
just wonderd what people would suggest to get for it?

We got some silly glasses, wigs and a blow up guitar but thats it.

So many things, anything silly or fancy dress, Hats are good, cowboy, policeman, wigs are great too , moustaches, superhero costumes.. granny outfits.. the list is endless, we doing DIY photobooth too , I already have collected loads of fancy dress over the years so going to use that and add some more wigs n hats ! go local charity shop and £s40p normally have lots of fun fancy dress stuff for cheap too :)

Chalk boards so they can write messages.

We're doing a DIY photo booth too :) I've just searched 'photo booth props' on the bay and 3t$y.. some fab things come up and really inexpensive too :)

This is something I want to do too currently on the look out for someone selling a cheep extravagant mirror/photo frame that I can knock the middle out of for people to stand behind to make the booth then was going to have a box of boa's hats glasses false tash's for people to put on. I like the chalk board idea to write messages tho, would be cool if they do speech bubble shaped chalkboards.... I suppose they wouldn't be too hard to make tho. Are you sure the ipad is a good idea tho? What if someone accidentally drops it? FB keeps popping up all different ad's for apps where wedding guests can add their photos of your wedding for you to access you could ask people to take photos on their phones and get them that way? Just an idea

Danielle, we are thinking of just supplying a digital camera and asking guests to take the pics themselves (I'm sure there will be someone they can to take a quick snap), or just use their own phones and take selfies.. we've also thought about providing a selfie stick to make it easier. We would then ask for the photos to be uploaded onto a wedding pics app or onto social media using a dedicated wedding hashtag.. this way we can easily get hold of the pics and can then print them off from there and put into an album etc x

I agree with the chalk board we are having those at ours

Some great ideas lots for me to think about! The photo booths we have been looking at are actual booths and they supply all the props. They take 4 photos which are printed onto a wee strip there and then. The guests get a copy then they put a copy into a guest book for us and the guests write a message beside it. But as I say they are expensive. £300+

yes they are sooo expensive, you can get an ap to put on your ipad or phone and it sends it to your emal and their email too :) much cheaper :)

Sounds a good offer for £75. At least that's one less thing for you to worry about sorting as well

Yeah I was thinking that too Danielle, so much easier so I snapped that up along with our wedding photography package. Might be worth while some of you guys suggesting it to your own photographers, they will benefit in the long run doing it and are already there taking pics, can only ask x

I might suggest it to my photographer but she wouldn't have anyone to take the photos? If she was to take them she would miss out on taking the other photos. Flossie the one I'm thinking on booking is for 3 hours I think that's plenty

I only have the one photographer to and she does it by herself, it may well be that she is set up in the evening and an amount of time is set aside for it but its just a bit of fun for later on as id rather her catch all the important bits of the day first x

im putting my digital camera on a tripod facing the DIY backdrop and have bought a remote shutter to go with it off the bay of E , so once everyone is in place someone takes the remote shutter and presses the button to take the photo , no need to get anyone to take the photos then and I will have them all on my camera , they quite cheap to buy and work well :)

oh thats a good idea too! its gonna be so much fun:)
