Photo Booth Rentals

Posted by LightBooth on April 5th, 2019

Customers looking to rent a photo booth often ask which is better: digital or old-fashioned film. The answer is really up to the person. Each type has its advantages and disadvantages.

The classic, vintage style of a film booth gives them a high "cool" factor, and their photos always look great. Unfortunately, due to the rise of digital photo booths, film booths are becoming harder and harder to find. If you do manage to find a film photo booth for your event, there are some other factors you should be aware of before you make your final decision.

Film booths are slower to print than digital booths; it takes them about 3 minutes to develop a photo. They are also more expensive to operate and, weighing up to 900 lbs, more expensive to transport and difficult to bring inside some buildings. These added costs make film booths more expensive to rent than a digital booth. Kansas City photo booth

The placement of your photo booth is extremely important. Try to set it up in a highly visible area near the action. The perfect spot is next to the bar and/or dance floor. Also, make sure that the location of your photo booth is somehow lit, so it's not placed in the dark corner of the room. People exiting the photo booth should enjoy their prints and being able to see and sign your guest book/scrapbook. Being in the business of photo booth rentals for years we got to see the raw emotions of happiness people laughing out loud, waiting anxiously by the print/scrapbook station, gathering in groups to judge their latest adventure in the photo booth and then having fun decorating a scrapbook. Size really matters. Instead of a small old fashion photo "box" that fits only 2-3 people, rent a professional photo booth designed for large groups. It really makes the difference. It's so much fun to watch 20 of your guests squeal with excitement as they pile into a booth. The more the merrier! Make sure you let your guests know about a photo booth, its location and that it is available to them at no cost. Ask your DJ or MC to make announcements about your photo booth throughout the night. Place table cards featuring information about it; provide a note at the place setting.

Want to really spice up your photo booth rental? Props are a must have for weddings, corporate parties, bar/bat mitzvahs, dance parties, quinceaneras, holiday parties, graduations, proms, family reunions, fundraisers and other events because of the fun they encourage. Many photo booth rental companies offer props for an additional cost or include them in their packages. You can also bring your own props. Here are some ideas: goofy glasses, pirate props, including a parrot, spyglass, eye patches, gold pieces, an earring, knight props, a sword, a shield, a helmet, king and queen crowns, smiles on a stick, mustaches on a stick, glasses with mustaches, noses, and eyebrows, an explorer's hat, a business hat, a construction worker's hat, clown noses, lots of different wigs, boas, air blown toys and musical instruments, frames, signs, chalkboard speech bubbles, feather fans, fancy hats, angel wings, devil pitchfork, animal ears, noses, tails and much more. Best Photo Booth Rental Company in Kansas City

Many photo booth rental companies offer wedding packages that include a photo strip for the guest and a photo strip that will go into a scrapbook for the bride and groom. Free reprints are also available. Wedding guests can try on the feather boas, top hats, wacky sunglasses or other costume items to make the photo even more interesting. A prop box is made available with a large variety of items for fun photos. Individual photos are great, and group photos are that much more fun. The fun is contagious - when guests see other guests laughingly exit the photo booth, they will want to take part in the fun as well. Once the fun is done and the photos are in the scrapbook, guests sign the book next to their picture in the album. A wedding memory preserved for a lifetime.

Your photos are not limited to the booth nowadays. Photo booth rental companies post the pictures on their website for those who may want to purchase their photos individually. Just put in the name of the wedding party, and guests can view their photos. They offer a variety of sizes and print options for your guests to preserve the memory of good times at your wedding. You will receive a high quality print ready for framing. When creating your wedding and reception event on your social media page, encourage your guest to check out the photo booth while enjoying your wedding reception. Many guests will look forward to being a part of this fun and creative aspect of your wedding.
