Events & Parties: Photobooth Are The Hottest New Trend

By Michael Barrett


What was invented in 1925 and has become the must have addition to parties and events in 2012? Photo booth mania is back with a vengeance. Who would have thought that a modern version of this classic would move from dime stores to arcades and now at the nicest event venues in the country?

The rebirth of photo booth mania started around 2004 and has been steadily growing ever since. You may find some at the local mall in a variety of configurations. But, if you are going to a wedding, bar mitzvah or company party this year you are sure to experience first hand why this old concept has gotten fresh legs!

Unlike the small photo booths of old, photo booths like those offered by Kansas City photo booth company Booth Crazy Photobooths, offer guests a whole new experience. What could be more fun than cramming 10 of your craziest friends into a booth and throwing inhibition to the wind? Guests can adorn the crazy props provided or go natural. Either way, something about being behind that curtain brings out the wild side of almost anyone! It is an experience that they will relive every time they look at the print they received as an instant keepsake.

No blurry pictures here. Thanks to computers, custom software and studio flash the pictures are actually of professional quality. Seeing really is believing. Unlike the hired photographer, its all automatic. With a push of a activator button, you are on your way to some serious fun. Add in some crazy props and your guests will reveal themselves in ways you would have never imagined. At Booth Crazy's Kansas City photobooths, they have 4 shots, 7 seconds apart, it is 28 seconds of photographic bliss.

Photobooth 101- the secret is the timing and having a plan. Practice really does make perfect. Good news! Because most photo booths are rented hourly, you are free to come in as many times as you wish. By nights end, you will be an expert with the photographic evidence to prove it.

Sharing of your photo booth fun couldn't be easier and has likely contributed to it catching on so quickly. Most of the time, your guests will be able to view the photos on-line for a number of days. Often, the images will be given to the host to share. In addition, unlike most photographers, photobooth operators actually encourage scanning! They are your pics, do with them as you like!

So, if you are having a get together and want to provide your guests with a fun activity that they are sure to remember, renting a photo booth may be just the ticket. Just remember that like anything else, it pays to do your due diligence. Photobooths come in many shape and sizes with prices ranging from $500-1500. Make sure you see the booth and know what you are getting. Have fun and happy photo boothing!
