    We are going to be having a photobooth, and originally I did not want "props".. well, now I do.. haha. BUT, I don't want the silly moustache's and lip's on sticks! I am looking for something a little different.. but not too out the wall that it is going to cost me an arm and a leg. I would love to even DIY some things BUT I have NO idea whatsover what to do. I think my brain is just frazzled at the moment and I am having a small mini melt down. THANKS IN ADVANCE!

    Maybe supply a few large, open frames in your wedding colors, so guests can 'frame' their faces, or climb through them, or kiss through them, or w/e they decide is hilarious as the night progresses. Lol. Bubbles, maybe those confetti poppers for interactive toys.

    A marker board in the shape of a thought bubble can be hilarious or sweet. And maybe something just a little cheesey (not mustaches) but maybe a bow tie and a veil, so people can get in on the wedded bliss :-)

    I had the frames, a  few strings of mardi gras beads, and the moustache glasses.  I also had the speech bubble chalk boards from Hello Lucky which were kind of pricy, but you could maybe DIY something similar.  The real star of the photobooth though, was a kid's hobby horse.  All the pictures of our guests riding the pony crack me up.

    We did a DIY photobooth that we set up ourselves. We bought a lot of props at the dollar store and Michael's. We bought a lot of random hats we found at Michael's that were different animal heads and alien heads. My husband made dry erase bubbles at work with equipment they make signs for and glued them to dowels. We also bought a grass skirt, lei, coconut bra and a seashell bra at the dollar store and Big Lots. A lot of people wore those! The hit of it though was probably two viking hats my husband's co-workers had bought for a work related event and gave to him after instead of throwing them away. Just go to random stores like the Dollar Store and Big Lots and keep your mind open. You'll find lots of stuff. Think of kids toys, too. We bought fake guns from the kids department.

    Ditto on the Dollar Store, Big Lots, Ollie's, or Five Below. We had so many props people could choose from. But I think our group really enjoyed the various glasses/sunglasses: heart frames, alien eye frames, dollar sign frames, googley eyes, really thick lenses... the list went on and on...

    I could probably make the chalk board word bubbles pretty easily..

    Mardi Gras masks, cowboy hats, cute and fun beads, top hats, garters, boas, canes, or just pick a theme and go with it!
