The Attraction Of Photo Booths At Weddings and Parties
Tuesday, April 28th, 2009 - Posted by Jamie AdamsPhoto Booths Way Back When
Since 1925, when Anatol Josephino invented the photo booth, kids and adults have been creating photo memories and having fun. In the early days, photo booths could be found on the boardwalk, in departments stores and amusement parks across the nation. It seems no one could resist the urge to mug for a picture when they happened upon a photo booth. In fact, you probably have a few of these photo booth pictures tuck away in a drawer somewhere right now.
Contemporary Photo Booths Make The Guest List
Why would a photo booth receive an invitation to a wedding, a prom, a birthday party, a family reunion, a Bar/Bat Mitzvahs or an asundry of other special events. Laugh-out-loud, unforgettable fun, that’s what photo booths bring to the party. Renting a photo booth can inspire fun and create memories at any special event even a quinceanera, anniversary party, holiday party or a fun-raiser.
Photographers capture a party guest in a moment of time. However, photo booths will capture your guests in the moment. Photo booths are entertainment and posterity all rolled into one wonderful party accessory. A photo booth naturally brings out the adventure in every guest. These candid pictures are a great way to remember the fun you had at an event.
It not just the photo booth that makes it fun, it is all the props that come with a photo booth rental. Neat hats, masks, boas and other props that guests can wear when they step inside of the photo booth are just a few of the great props that come with renting a photo booth. Along with the props, many rental companies offer a scrapbook package. The photo booth scrapbook package adds an extra element of fun. Guests can have their picture taken and then add it to the scrapbook along with a personal message. This makes for a wonderful piece of memorabilia after the event is over.
Photo Booths A Rising Trend
I can see why this new party and wedding trend is quickly rising to the top. It is an easy way to entertain guests as well as create and save memories. It appeals to the young and old alike. It fits well into the scheme of a wedding reception, a graduation party, a charity gala or a sweet sixteen party. As a party or wedding trend, photo booths have real staying power. After all, they have been around since 1925 and people are still drawn to them.
A special thanks goes to Say Cheese Photo Booth, an Austin Texas Photo Booth Company, who was kind enough to share some of their photos. I think they speak for all photo booth rental companies when they say “our mission is to inspire laugh-out-loud-unforgettably-fun memories everywhere we go.” That’s the attraction of photo booths and why you should have one at your next event.
