Photo Booth on the Dance Floor
I was sitting at the vendor table eating dinner talking with the other vendors. The Bride and Groom decided to go with a photo booth company that offered physical prints (which can also cause problems). I was talking with the photo booth attendant. She said, “would you mind announcing that people can come get their photo taken at the photo booth?” I told her I would, and later on I did.
There was a problem though. Since space was limited in the main reception area, the photo booth was set up in a completely adjacent room. Even with the announcements, she did not receive much traffic the whole night.
You don’t want to pull your guests in different directions, especially in this case where there was no point for people to travel to this room, other than the photo booth. The best option in my opinion? Put the photo booth on the dance floor! I definitely stole this idea from a DJ I highly respect, and the first time I did it, it worked great!
The dancers could quickly go and snap a quick picture while grooving, then continue dancing. The dance floor is where the fun is at. My DJ booth should be close to the dance floor. The bar should be close to the dance floor.
Worried about not have a cool backdrop or photo props? Don’t worry. I promise that the energy coming through in the guests make the pictures so worth it! It’s fun for the guests. They want to pull you out and take pictures. It just works!
