Make Your Event Memorable with a Portable Photo Booth!

A photo booth can be a fun twist to any event. Guests love to jump in, make funny faces, snap a few pictures and then share them with others. Since photo booths are the growing trend in events, renting one isn’t hard. A portable photo booth can be arranged for virtually any event location. Here are some tips on making the most out of your photo booth experience.

Most people when looking into photo booth rentals are most concerned with costs. While photo booths are portable, it will be well worth it and less expensive if you search out photo booth companies that are in your local area or are easily accessible to your specific area. One of the largest costs of photo booth rentals is the cost of transportation if you happen to not be in the company’s area. A quick Internet search should help you locate photo booth companies within your area. Another thing to check out is the minimum number of hours you must rent the booth for. Some require a three hour minimum. If your event isn’t that long then you must pay for it anyway and that’s not a good use of your money. Finally, check what all you get with a portable photo booth rental. Ideally, you should get unlimited prints for the duration of your event and you should be provided with an attendant throughout your whole event so you don’t have to worry about set up, tear down or keeping the booth running throughout.

Portable photo booths come in different options and many companies offer different things. The classic photo booth is one with a framed metal structure, curtains to make it more private, the camera on a timer and one background option. More modern types are solid structures that can often have the exterior designed to match an event’s theme. These modern types also often enable the backgrounds to be changed easily throughout the event and allow guests to actually take the picture themselves with the touch of a button or screen. Additionally, not all photo booths are the same size. Generally they take up little space, but make sure you get exact measurements to ensure you set aside the proper space at your event.

Typically one set of prints is printed off per guest, but some companies are now printing two sets of prints per guest in order for the host of the event to get a copy of all pictures taken in the photo booth. A great idea is to get a scrapbook and encourage guests to put their extra print in it for you, so you don’t have to. Additionally, some companies are starting to offer scrapbooks as part of their photo booth packages.

Photo booths are commonly seen at weddings, but that isn’t the only place that portable photo booths tend to be very popular. Guests at school functions such as proms, homecoming and Valentine’s Day dances love photo booths as do guests at graduation parties and class reunions. Photo booths can also be very popular at personal events like anniversary parties, birthday parties, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, holiday parties and family reunions. Corporate events are also starting to utilize photo booths such as conferences, corporate parties and trade shows. Trade shows are especially popular uses for photo booths because attendees tend to gravitate towards booths with unique opportunities like a photo booth.

In general, you can’t go wrong with the rental of a portable photo booth. No matter what type of event you’re planning, your guests will love it and you don’t have to spend a fortune to get it.
