Do It Yourself Photo Booths

A novel and trendy idea for weddings, is to hire a photobooth to allow friends and relatives a fun and memorable time as they capture candid memories of your wedding. Unfortunately the decline in the number of photobooths in operation, the sometimes prohibitive costs associated, or simply the unavailability of the unit to rent in smaller centers, means that some brides and grooms who would have loved to have this type of accessory available for their guests entertainment have had to do without. But no longer.

Now with a little imagination and some basic computer know how, you can create an easy to use and low cost, alternative that is just as much fun.

With today's technology readily available, all you need to create your very own photo booth is a curtained-off area, a camera on a tripod, a laptop, a printer, and guests who will ham it up for the cameras. You can even set it up so your laptop prompts guests with instructions so they can do it all on their own, and so that their photo strips print out in duplicate, one for them to take home as a wedding favor, and the other for you to keep as your photo guest book.

To add a little spice to your personal photobooth you can even make costumes and a few accessories available for your guests so that they can have the added fun of playing dress-up for the camera.

With a little added ingenuity you can even have the pictures project themselves onto a wall or nearby screen, so that the rest of the guests can join in on the hilarity as photos are being taken.

Photobooths are one of the hottest trends in wedding accessories today, if you can't seem to get your hands on one, don't despair, do it yourself and do it better than even the original could have managed.
