DIY Photobooths!!

Have you ever taken a look at how much a photo booth could cost you for a wedding or another event?? Even when it's included in the wedding package from your photographer, it is not cheap. It could cost you $400 and up! Why not try it the old fashioned do-it-yourself way? A photo booth could be made for less than $50! You'll need supplies, so make a list before going out on your next big grocery run!
Supplies
  • Camera - Borrow from a family member or friend if need be!
  • Tripod - You don't want your pictures to be blurry! Ask your photographer if they have an extra one.
  • Backdrop - fabric, paper, board, it doesn't matter what it is as long as it's creative and unique!
  • Tape
  • Hammer and nails
  • Remote shutter release
  • Props- for whatever theme you are going for!
  • Poster board
  • Markers
  • Fishing Line
  • PVC Pipe
  • Personalized Decal Stickers
Make your own backdrop with a fabulous print fabric. Get in touch with your creative side! Use balloons as a backdrop to have something out of the ordinary!

You can always make a large picture frame or polaroid, or add glittery chevrons or stripes to a giant poster board! You can hang any of these from a large branch (if outdoors) or make a stand from PVC pipe and hang it from that!

Okay, you get the drift. If you want to go more complicated than this, try designing a digital booth (like the ones you would see in the mall or amusement park!).

Don't forget to tell everyone to take pictures, and just have fun with it!
