Opinions on photobooths and props please.....

We chose not to have one as it wasn't really our kind of thing, and from what we know of our guests it probably wouldn't be their kind of thing either.

That's not to say there's anything wrong with what you're discussing - but even if it was free it's not something that would have been of interest to us.

Hi Im having a full on photo wall like this...

me and my mum have made it (this isnt my one) and I have made fimo props of various sorts. I quite enjoyed making it all myself so wouldnt have bought them but do know that there are tons of places on etsy/folksy that sell the props.

I love the idea, and have always planned to have one. I think there are a lot of prop type items on ebay, and that is certainly where I plan on looking. I would check out the prices on there to see what you are up against.

Lauren, that's ACE!

I wouldn't be interested in prop packs myself Mrs May but I don't want a photo booth.... not sure how much they cost. Agree with the advice to look on ebay to see what you are up against.

I wish I'd had one. It never even entered into my head to do my own.?

I know this sounds really stupid but what is a photo booth? how is it presented? what is the point?

really dont mean this nasty but just wanted to know as i here people love them but dont really know! xxx

Thanks!!! Its been really fun going to car boots looking for cheap ornate frames etc. Cant wait to flash it after the wedding! only 11 days to go!

Thanks for responses everyone I will take all your opinions into consideration.

I remember looking around for a company with a wide range of photobooth props and all I could find were US based websites. I always prefer to buy within the UK so felt a little bit let down that all I could get hold of were the feather boas and pink cow girl hats, rather than the 'on stick' props. I will have a look on esty again but I'm sure the prices I was looking at are fairly competitive, just need to look at postal costs too.

Seems like there are a fair few people that like the photobooths anyway which is a good sign, and as long as prices were online with those of ebay and esty sellers then I'd stand a chance?

This is exactly the kind of thing I was thinking of for later into the venture. My H is a joiner so shouldn't be too hard for us to make a few different ones and then hire them out for events

Yeh that was my plan after the wedding to either sell it or hire it out.
