You might think that they faded away years ago, but photo booths are still incredibly popular. You’ll find them everywhere from malls and shopping centers to arcades and more. You can even rent a photo booth for your next event. Why might this be the right idea? How can a photo booth ensure that your guests have a memorable time? Why do photo booths have a place in your event in the age of Instagram?
It’s Nostalgic
One reason that photo booths remain popular is their nostalgia. For many adults, those booths tie directly to their childhood during the 70s, 80s and 90s. They evoke memories of laughing with friends, and of a time before adulthood and grownup responsibilities took some of the joy out of life.
It’s about Getting Closer
Whether you choose a traditional photo booth, or opt for an elite model that can accommodate up to 12 people at a time, it’s all about getting closer to people. While smartphones are certainly capable of taking group shots, they’re not really great at it. A photo booth allows your guests to get close and have fun, without having to worry that they’re using the wrong filter, or that the smartphone camera isn’t able to get everyone in the same shot.
More Options Than Ever Before
Sure, you’ll still find the classic two and four-seat photo booth designs out there. However, there are new models that allow you to accommodate even larger groups. Some models can seat eight people, while others can accommodate up to 12 in a single shot. Of course, the converse is true, as well. Have limited space in your venue? Want to incorporate photo booth fun but don’t have room for a traditional booth? Consider a stand-up style booth, or go with a basic photo station or an InstaPic station in these cases.
Ultimately, a photo booth can add fun and enjoyment to any event. Whether you’re hosting a school dance, a reunion, or celebrating an anniversary, photo booths give your guests the chance to immortalize the night on real film – a keepsake that they can hold in their hand and cherish for years to come.
