Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue…and a photo booth!

Photo booths have become a wedding staple, helping bridal parties make memories and share them in the process. Yet, with all the details that go into a wedding, it’s helpful for them (and you!) to know exactly what you’re getting into.

Photo Booth Tips For Wedding Season

Keep the bride & groom happy with a couple tips we’ve picked up from our most frequent wedding vendors.

Prepare Ahead of Time

Preparation is everything. Knowing venue details ahead of time will help you plan out what you need. A large, dark ballroom will need a ring light while a rural locale calls for extension chords and a hotspot. Scope out the venue or call them directly and run through your checklist. Call the wedding planner to make sure all your needs will be satisfied to reduce surprises.

Test Your Event

Whether this is your first time using Curator or your hundredth, test the event the day before. Make sure overlays are exactly how you want them and that the printer is properly working. Make your final edits and download the event on your iPad ahead of time. Not only does the mitigate errors but makes event day setup go that much faster.

Offer Custom Backdrops

Offering custom backdrops for guests is a way to add up your offerings and stand out from the competition. Best of all, it’ not that hard. As long as your know your way around a hammer and have a little creativity, you can create beautiful backdrops in a few hours. A few ribbons, lights and foliage goes a long way. Visit our Pinterest for a little inspiration.

DIY Photo Booth Props

There’s a prop for everything! Are your guests having a fiesta-themed wedding? There’s a prop for that. Pinterest is full of free cut-outs or hit your local thrift shop for some funky pick-ups. Tired of lugging around a heavy trunk of props to every event? Curator offers hundreds of digital props in the asset store to paste mustaches and glitter beards on everyone in the photo.

Promote Social Sharing with Hashtags

The best way to promote social sharing is with a hashtag. Be sure to add the wedding’s official hashtag in a custom overlay when creating your events. Not only will guests be more likely to share the photo, but is a great way to measure results as well.

This is a time for celebration. With a little creativity and implementation of Curator’s custom features, you’ll be the king of wedding season in no time! For a demo of what Curator can offer your wedding guests, schedule a free consultation call with one of our customer service representatives.
