Nine Ways to Make Your Utah Photo Booth Rental Unique in 2014

Lets be honest, everyone has seen photo booths at weddings in Utah. We are getting concerns from brides that the photo booth has become a tired idea and they are looking for something new. We have compiled some creative ideas that will make your photo booth rental unique and fun in 2014.

1. The Shout Out Video
The shout out video feature lets your guests record a short congratulations video while their pictures are printing. A way to make the videos unique is to give your guests a theme to talk about in the video. Some fun themes that we have seen in the past are: your favorite memory of the couple, the most embarrassing moment with the couple, or sharing marriage advice. These videos will provide entertainment for years to come. We have helped some couples incorporate the photo booth videos into their actual wedding video.

2. A Really Unique Scrapbook
We had a couple provide a giant book to use as their photo booth scrapbook. The book was so large it took two groomsmen to carry. We were able to fit 10 photo strips per page. The groom explained to me that they were going to use this book as their "book of life". The photo booth pictures were just the opening chapter of this very large book that was going to document their lives together.

3. The Photo Booth Receiving Line
Why not make the receiving line at your wedding something that your guests will never forget? Put the photo booth open style (meaning it has no privacy surround) in front of the bride and groom in the receiving line. Each guest will get their picture with the bride and groom. We will set up the booth so it will only take one or two pictures so line doesn't get too backed up. The fact our Catch Photo Booths are able to print pictures in an amazingly fast 8 seconds make this idea a reality.

4. The 4x6 Postcard Print
Most photo booths print 2x6 photo strips. Stand out by printing your guests 4x6 postcard print. The 4x6 prints allow for the pictures to be bigger and have more space for fun borders and text. Most guests love to recieve the bigger print because it is so unique and fun.


5. The Customized Vinyl Backdrop
You have seen vinyl backdrops on the red carpet for award shows and movie premieres. Why not have one for your wedding photo booth? We help you create a nice logo  featuring your names and wedding date and then we step and repeat it across the vinyl backdrop. We place the photo booth in open style in front of the backdrop. Your guests can also sign the backdrop when they are done taking their pictures. How many of your friends can say they have a 6 foot x 8 foot sign in book from their wedding? A 6 x 8 vinyl backdrop costs about $200 and generally takes a week to produce.

6. Totally Themed Photo Booth Props
Make props manditory in your wedding photo booth. But just don't have your plain run of the mill dollar store photo booth props. Have fun, unique themed props that match your unique style and interests. We have helped provide circus, superhero, mid-evil, ski and redneck themed photo booth props. Your guests will love the chance to dress up to a certain theme. The fact that all of the guests are dressing up makes it even more fun.

7. Photo Booth Picture Sequence
Have a set sequence of picture styles you want your wedding guests to take in the photo booth. For the first picture, we can prompt the guests to look serious. For the second picture we could prompt the guests to stick their tongues out. You will have the fun at looking at how fun your guests followed the different commands.

8. A Photo Booth Picture Contest
Give the guest a prize that has the most creative photo booth pictures. Advertise it with a sign outside the photo booth. You can also have a contest with the shout out video feature. To make the contest even more fun, put the pictures up on social media and let your guests vote on their favorite.

9. The Instant Upload to Your Facebook Page
Do want people to see the fun and excitement happening in your wedding photo booth as it happens? Our Catch Photo Booths have the ability to instantly upload the pictures directly to your Facebook page. Your wedding will go viral before it even gets over!

We love photo booths and we love to try new and exciting ideas. We understand that some of these ideas will not work with your wedding. But we hope you will have a photo booth that is uniquely you at your wedding.
