Spice things up with a photo booth during your cocktail hour to kick off your wedding reception!
While the wedding party is off taking photos or cruising the town on a party bus, cocktail hours can be a bit stale. Guests are claiming their tables or sorting through the seating arrangement and getting in line at the bar to grab a drink (and to see if it’s open bar or not). The waiting game begins for the newly Mr. and Mrs. to arrive. Since the dance floor typically hasn’t opened up yet, a great way to break the ice and entertain guests immediately is with a photo booth.
Let the Fun Begin Behind the Photo Booth Curtain
Some serious fun seems to spark inside people when they are being captured by a photo booth. The great thing about these goofy, silly moments in the booth is you’ll get a copy of every single one! Plus, guests will get a photo strip of the images when they use the Complete Weddings + Events photo booth, which is a great favor (or favors if they keep coming back for more fun)!
A Perfect Fit for Every Crowd
Photo booths are also an interactive way to entertain the kids or break the ice with a sober (or soon-to-be not sober) crew, which makes them perfect during a cocktail hour! But don’t think the photo booth fun stops after the first hour. Party guests typically find themselves needing a break from the dance floor or they simply become less camera-shy later on in the night. You’ll see the photo booth photos are only getting better as the evening progresses!
A Creative Take on the Guestbook
While you and your wedding guests are enjoying the night, hopping in and out of the booth, your Complete photo booth attendant is putting together an album of all the photo strips with signatures and well-wishes from your guests. This informal guestbook is a great keepsake to look back on your entertaining evening.
Things to Consider When Adding a Photo Booth
Adding a photo booth to your event in Sioux City is a smart move, but there are a few important details to think about to get the most out of the experience. A little planning ensures everything runs smoothly and keeps the fun flowing all night.
Here are a few things to consider:
- Location within the venue – Choose a spot that’s easily accessible but doesn’t block traffic. Near the bar or lounge areas usually works well.
- Backdrop and theme – Select a backdrop and props that match your event’s theme or color palette for a cohesive look.
- Power access – Make sure the booth setup location has nearby power outlets to avoid last-minute scrambling.
- Space requirements – Allow enough space not just for the booth itself, but also for lines of guests and any add-ons like a scrapbook or display table.
- Time slot – Decide if you want the booth available the entire night or just during certain parts of the event, like cocktail hour or after dinner.
- Kids at the event – If younger guests are attending, consider including kid-friendly props to keep them entertained.
Keeping these details in mind helps create a smooth, fun, and memorable event photo experience for everyone attending your special day.
