Hi y’all….Melissa here from My Party Passion – today I am
chatting it up with you about PHOTOBOOTHS at your parties!
Some might think that this “trend” is OVER – but I beg to differ! Almost all my parties have them and everyone LOVES to ham it up in front of the camera..this gives them a good “excuse” to do it!

A few items to keep in
mind….
The first thing you want to think about is your venue – is there room for a
“booth”? How is the lighting? Indoors or
Outdoors?
Theme – what is
the theme of party? Bright colors? Kids?
Adults?
Props – here is
where it gets fun! Almost everything
goes! From mustaches to picture frames –
all are cute in a photobooth. Things
around your home, in your children’s’ toy chest, in your kitchen cabinet.
Possibilities are endless.
One thing that is important to me is the backdrop. I often use table coverings as the backdrop
or linens. Sometimes just being outside is a great background. A table cover
that I might have bought for a baseball party is now being used as a backdrop
for a carnival party – repurpose – reuse!
It takes no money to put a cute photobooth together. Use an old sheet or tablecloth and tact it up
to your wall. Find a few props that fit your party theme and the rest will
happen before your eyes!
If you have never ventured out into the world of Photobooths
at your party – I say GO FOR IT! Strike
a Pose!

Hi Jessica - honestly I do the pictures myself....at our parties I rarely sit down 8) Hosting and mingling and I "rally" the troops for photos when I see then in the area of the booth. I only use a tripod for certain booths. The one on the blog post that you see with my girls as pirates, that one had a tripod. It was windy that day and I felt the need to be a little more stable. With photos, more is more...I typically take 350 pics on average for a 2 hour party and use about 20 of them. lol Practice taking them "on the fly" as much as you can, you will get the "feel" for quick pics then! 8) Hope this helps!
