Photobooth Dilemma

Hi Ladies,
I want to have a photo booth at my wedding, and I need help thinking of something fun to do with it. My wedding will be outdoors in the summer in my parents' backyard. Thanks so much for your help!
Best,
T.

Hi T!
I love, love, love photobooths, and I love the idea of giving your guests fun props to play with at your wedding. In your case, since you'll be getting married in the backyard in the summer, why not play with that and make take some inspiration from old lawn games like croquet and badminton? With so much fun vintage sports equipment and dress-up fodder available these days, the sky is the limit. That said, as always, you want your props to read "well-curated vintage" and not "thrown-together thrift store." Look for old wooden games and accessories that are either in mint condition or are new. Top it off with a background that references the backyard feel, but still looks fresh, and you've got yourself an awesome photobooth.

You might also want to throw in a vintage chalkboard for "keeping score" or writing fun little notes, and some bow ties and sweaters for folks to tie around their necks.

And finally, the pièce de résistance:

A fun parasol will get folks hamming it up in no time.

Put all of this party against this pretty background from Purl Soho, and you've got one awesome photobooth situation on your hands. Good luck with your wedding, and we hope you have a fantastic fun-filled day!
