DIY Photobooth

My friend Karra shared this with me via Pinterest and I love it!  

It reminded me of the good times I had at Alex & Amanda's wedding (which was epically awesome!)  They had a photobooth setup with props and it was so much fun!   Shane and I loved our pictures so much from the booth we had them framed by the end of the week!

Unfortunately, it costs $1,000 to rent a photobooth, so we're going to make our own!

Here's my plan for attack:

PROPS: I have a lot of fun stuff from old Halloween costumes and I'm sure I could gather up more stuff from friends, but to fill out the collection, feel free to buy me a sombrero for my birthday or Christmas.  I have a started a wishlist on Amazon.com of things that will come in handy for the wedding.  Click here if you are wondering what to buy me for my Birthday in July.

CAMERA:   Uh, can someone lend us a descent web camera?

PHOTOGRAPHER:  Not Necessary.  We can set up a laptop with Sparkbooth and let guests operate the photobooth themselves. Of course, there may be a friend or too looming around in case people look confused.

PRINTING:  We can bring our printer and set it up at the reception.  Guests can instantly print the pictures, write a note on them and hang them on the picture wall (which will be our wedding guest book).   Pictures will automatically upload to Facebook and can be emailed to them for printing at home. Which reminds me -  ink cartridges are also on my wishlist :D 

If you have any other suggestions to make this process easier just let me know.  I'd love to hear your ideas.
