The Name of the Game is the Unicorn Head

Unicorn heads people! It's what's hot! I haven't seen too many people using these yet, but guarantee you that this is a prop you'll want to have. It's certainly catching on and is probably one of the funniest things i've seen since the Bob Newhart show. I'd really like you to go out and get one. These things are only 10-15 dollars and will really change your water. I don't care what event you're headed to next but don't "head" there without a head.

We're One Direction

This week's edition features a group of young gentleman that have taken America by surprise and captured us with their up-tempo pop ballads that have us rolling down the car windows and singing at the top of our lungs. Their songs are at every wedding you go to. They're from the UK and they sure pack a punch. That's right. One D. Even they like the photo booth. So next time you're at a party and you're too scared to try that photo booth, remember that your favorite boy band never passes an opportunity to flash a good smile.

Kierra Found The Booth

As you know one of our favorite things to do here at the blog is find pictures of celebrities enjoying the booth, because after all... they're just like us, and everyone loves a good photo booth. This week's edition features actress and bombshell Kierra Knightley. Now, why do we love her? The answer is simple, no one has ever been quite so chic. She has a natural pizazz, not just in the booth but on and off the screen. We raise our glasses to you Ms. Knightley.

Frame Me!

We're always looking for the new and creative, the fun and the fresh if you will. I recently came across a really cool backdrop idea, it's more like a front-drop really. I think it's just brilliant to add yourself to a wall of pictures. It's one of those things that people see and say "hey! i'd like to try that too!" So why not? Next time you have an event try this idea. It's inexpensive and most importantly it's sassy! So get yourself a booth and party!

Ryan Gosling in the Booth!

We're back with our bi-weekly series, "Celebs in the Booth." This week we have Ryan Gosling! Watch out ladies, you can't all have him! The thing i love about these pictures is the vulnerability. There's something a photo booth does to you that i can't explain. Here's a guy who has it all, a great look, starring roles in great films, women, money, etc. And yet, he still has time to take a few pics in the booth. That's great.

Crook in the Booth!

As you know this is the blog that updates you with the cutest and hottest trends in photo boothery. This weeks pick is called "Crook in the Booth!" These folks had a great little wild west themed backdrop with some excellent props! This is a great way to get the kids excited about the booth. Toss some fake money in their and grab a few Clint Eastwood-like costumes at the local halloween store and see what happens! You can't go wrong with this idea. It's simply the best.

Celebs In The Booth #2

This week we're doing our monthly "Celebs in the Booth" post. Where we find pics of a celeb in a photo booth and talk about how great they are. This week we're here with your boy Jim Carrey! One of my favorite actors of all time. When you think of a guy like Jim, it's hard not to laugh. He's been playing a classic role for so long and doesn't get old. He's chipper as ever every time you see him in a film. The one that really got me though, was "The Majestic." This movie really shows him in a different light, playing a totally different character than what he normally does. He nails too. He's an introspective guy who has a lot more to him than laughs and smiles. He's for real.

Order In The Booth! : When Enough Is Enough

I don't know how many of my weekly readers actually own photo booths or if you all are just people who enjoy a nice smile. But regardless, imagine this: You put a lollipop in the photo booth and each person who takes pictures that day licks it. Statistics say that by the end of the day 9,347 people would have sucked the lollipop. The same injustice is going on, but with fake cigars and cigarette props in a DC photo booth. This is particularly distasteful because you can taste the last few people's saliva on the cigar. This needs to stop i'm reaching out just to see if anyone will help me.

Justin Bieber Grabs The Booth By The Horns

We've all been aware of the on/off romance between the Biebs and Selena Gomez. But did we know it was happening in a photo booth? For most of us... no. I don't want to question his morals, but the photo booth is not a placing for kissing. No one questions that, and yet they did it anyway. It was hard to see this picture. A photo booth is supposed to be a safe haven for people who don't know where to find love, not a kissing show to make single people feel worse about themselves. But there you have it, so... If You're Ready, Come and Get It.

Celebrity Crush In A Photo Booth

If you could be in a photo booth with any of your celebrity crushes, who would it be? I think it's a question that we all ask at some point so i just kind of want to address the elephant in the room. Who would it be? Be honest with yourself. Maybe they're not the hottest celebrity or maybe they are, but who you are depends upon your answer to this question. Here's mine. Say what you will, but i can't help myself. These are some great pictures.

Audrey Hepburn & The Booth

I was looking at pictures recently and came across this picture of Audrey Hepburn. Not only is she one of my favorite actresses, she was such an icon representing so many things such as beauty, class, grace, and elegance. I love this picture because it takes me back to the beginning of photo booths and simplicity of it all. I also wish that photo booths allowed smoking, but that's another story. Enjoy this picture, try being this classy next time you're in a photo booth. Not Easy.

Dog's in Booth!

If you're like me, you love taking your dog everywhere. Maybe you've limited the places you go to those that are pet friendly. Or, if you're exactly like me, you've had your eyes removed in order to make yourself legally blind so that, by law, you can bring your service dog everywhere. Well, when it comes to a photo booth i've found a place will allow those with full sight and the blind alike to bring their dogs along for the ride. Check out this photo booth company! They've even done puppy events. Maybe you love your dog but aren't willing to go blind to savor every minute of their company, if so, check this place out.

Insta... Booth?

It's no mystery that everyone loves Instagram, the social medium that allows you to share pictures with your friends. It's also no mystery that for years and years, folks have loved photo booths. I recently came across an idea where someone used Instagram and a photo booth. It's always a fun idea when you can mix a bit of the old and a bit of the new. What does this mean for a photo booth company? It means taking a deeper look at a trend and saying what can i take from a passing trend that is in the moment and what can i take from a long-standing tradition. Thinking this way can help come up with some very cool ideas. Check out here what one photo booth company did.

Coolest Wedding Pictures

I've been an intense search for the coolest wedding pictures i can find and this one is at the top of the list. It's nothing too crazy or off the wall, but is one of my favorite wedding pictures i've seen yet. I imagine this was a very fun wedding to be at. Judging from this picture there was definitely a photo booth at the reception. Probably even a DJ. I'm confident in my selection for coolest wedding picture. Let us know what you think. What's your favorite wedding picture?

Photo Booth Convention

I just got back from a photo booth convention in Granitsville, HE. It was very inspiring to see everyone with some really awesome photo booth setups. There was some very impressive and innovative stuff going on there. You should have gone. It's amazing how photo booths can make everyone so much friendlier. There was so much love at this convention it was hard to leave. Enough about me though. What do you think about this stuff? Any of it strike your fancy?

Photo Booths - Speech Bubbles

If you do your homework on photo booths, you know that there are some pretty cute ideas out there. Like this couple. What a cute idea to have speech bubbles! These can be both real cute and real funny depending on what the photo booth-ee writes in the bubble. Chalk board or dry erase surfaces can be very nice for these, as people can write whatever they want. If you want a fresh idea for your booth, try these. They're lots o' fun!

Today's post is for all you cats that just have the itch for something new (no, not that old scratch post! ha!).

Kitty Wanna Photo?

The thing about photo booths is that you've gotta push the envelope and try new things! You've gotta be ready to hop on the trendy train if and when it comes. I'm something of a predictor of trends, you can call me the weatherman folks, because i'll tell what's gettin' hot! I'm here to make it rain folks! I can guarantee you that in the next few years Kitty Photo Booths will the thing. Why do i know this? Because we all love cats. We love them more than people, so it's only natural that we want some photos! Check it this picture and get ready for the future of the photo booth!

New Slow Motion Booths

As technology advances ideas and evolve and become more complex and sometimes cooler. I've recently seen slow motion booths come into fashion. It's a very cool idea. Rather than a camera in the booth a slow motion video camera is used. It makes for a really fun time and is a nice alternative to a photo booth. The downside is that guests don't have a anything like a photo strip that they are given immediately. Rather, the videos are uploaded into one long video online after the event. Check out this video if you like the idea!

Pirate Props For Photo Booths

When you're putting together ideas for a photo booth 60 percent of the work is simply keeping things fresh. Finding new themes and ideas for costumes and photo strip designs are so important, because it keeps things exciting. One of the new themes i recently stumbled upon is pirate costumes. Mustaches are cool but have been overdone and we all know it. I hope people don't take pirate props to the same extreme. But if you're looking for a hot new prop, this is what you want.

The First Photo Booth Ever

As with most inventions, it is not clear who first thought up the photo booth. The first patent for the idea was filed in 1888 in Baltimore, Maryland. There is no record of this photo booth ever actually being built though. The first time a photo booth was actually brought into America was in 1925. A Russian inventor who came to America in 1923 made one of the first commercially successful photo booths and set up in New York City on Broadway for 25 cents. The machine took eight photos and the overall process took about ten minutes. Even after all this time it's a still a flourishing trend!

Neat Photo Booth's

So we're all aware of the photo booth phenomenon of the last five years, but how about some of these innovative and new ideas people are coming up with. To be honest, a lot of them are pretty neat. I once went to a wedding where they had a really cool one. What if there were more like that. Then maybe they wouldn't be cool anymore. Do i just want it because i'm unsure about myself? I mean once i got would i still think it's so cool or do i just want what i can't have?






NO.

I'm not unsure of myself. I know what i want and why i want it. And once i get it i'll love it. THIS is what i want.

Black & White Photostrips

So what do we think about black & white photos? I dunno what you think, but i love them! They're the best and here's why... everyone's doing it! They say once you go black & white you never go back and it's true. I never wanna go back. Do away with the hassle of color photos and go with the classic look of our fathers, black and white photos. I'm crazy about them and think that every company should offer black & white photostrips!

Look how much this couple loves the black & white photostrips!

Photo Booth Backdrops

When it comes to backdrops for photo booths, think simple. If it's your first time doing a photo booth or you just want a simple back drops for events, don't stress. Some wall paper or wrapping paper will do. Pick something that's really going to make it pop. If you know people at the event will be dressing in more dull colors, be mindful of that and account for it by choosing a color that will go well, but will really make it pop.

How about that?!
