Seattle Photo Booth Props That Actually Get Used (And Which Ones to Skip)
Seattle and Tacoma weddings are all about creating moments that blend style, personality, and a touch of Pacific Northwest charm. A photo booth is one of the easiest ways to get guests laughing, mingling, and creating keepsake memories—but only if the props are worth using.
Skip the bins of flimsy plastic hats and focus on quality over quantity. Mustache cutouts, chic hats, minimalist speech bubbles, custom selfie frames, and eco-friendly props are crowd favorites. Avoid clutter, complicated gadgets, and props that clash with your wedding theme.
Photo Booth Props Worth the Space
- Mustache and lip cutouts – Timeless favorites that encourage guests of all ages to join in.
- Hats, wigs, and oversized glasses – Sequins, PNW plaid caps, Cleopatra wigs, and playful sunglasses are always a hit.
- Speech bubbles and signs – “I came for the cake” or “Go Hawks!” signs add humor and creativity.
- Selfie frames and custom cutouts – Hashtag frames, skyline backdrops, or even life-size cutouts of you or your pet get passed around all night.
- Personalized or eco-friendly pieces – Minimalist, sustainable props that include your wedding date or names feel special and align with local eco-conscious values.
Photo Booth Props to Skip
- Cheesy plastic props – Cheap-looking and easily broken.
- Overstuffed prop tables – Overwhelms guests and slows the line.
- Complicated gadgets – Guests often want quick printed photo strips over tech-heavy setups.
- Out-of-place themes – Keep props consistent with your wedding style and venue.
Tips for Choosing Your Prop Kit
- Quality over quantity – Sturdy materials last and look better in photos.
- Keep it simple – A few well-chosen items will get more use than a huge bin of random props.
- Match your theme and venue – From rustic Tacoma barns to sleek Seattle rooftops, coordinate colors and materials.
- Consider your guests – Kids often love oversized cartoon props; adults may lean toward elegant and understated.
