Step 3: Get all your props, camera (with extra film & batteries!), guestbook, instruction cards, and glue rollers together in one big box. Step 2: Collect your props or make some easy DIY Mustaches! My crafty husband cut out some ‘staches from thick felt and then hot glued them to dowel rods from the craft store. We asked the catering company to bring extra table number holders to hold the instruction cards! Now go have fun.Īlong with the instructions – we took a picture of each “step” to paste on the instruction card (seen above). We kept our instructions short and sweet: We had the polka dot ribbon leftover from our invites & menus too – so we kept it consistent with the instructions as well. Step 1: Make your instruction signs! We mounted white paper onto leftover black card stock from our DIY Wedding Invitations. Permanent Adhesive Rollers ( we used these for ALL of our DIY projects, invitations, name cards, menus etc…).

Props ( we went the mustache route) & box or jar to hold props.

Markers for guests to write in your book.

Blank Guest Book (we got ours from Etsy seller, RedOtter!).

1 Fujifilm Instax 210 Camera & Film ( RIP Polaroid!).

Once we decided to go this route – it actually became quite easy to make. Which brings us to Option #3: The DIY Photobooth Alternative! This is something you want to decide on BEFORE picking your wedding photographer – namely because not all photographers offer this option! After talking with our wedding photographer, we learned that this wasn’t something our photographer normally does and we then started to explore other options. Unfortunately, due to my budget, it had to be cut (the band was a bigger deal to us!) Option #1 quickly dropped from my list when I learned of the price.

The Magestic Photobooth (* offers a vintage style booth* totally drool-worthy!).If you are thinking of going this route – be sure to check out the following rental companies that serve this area: I had heard that people had a blast with these things at other people’s weddings and the picture could easily double as the wedding favor. I REALLY wanted to have Option #1 at my own wedding. The ultimate DIY version- you prop a camera down on a table with some instructions and props, and let your guests have at it!.An area at the wedding where your wedding photographer sets up a backdrop, some props, and takes “ Photobooth” pictures.A legit photobooth (a la the mall or your hometown roller skating rink).In my opinion, it can now be generally referred to as meaning one of the following: The term “ photobooth” has come to mean a few different things with regards to weddings.
