We went to a wedding last night. Was at a very nice private club. I haven't seen this before and we've been to many weddings. During the course of the reception, a photo booth was placed in the lobby area. A table next to the booth allowed the guests to place their 3, black and white photos in the wedding book along with any comments to the bride and groom. The wedding was large so this allows the bride and groom to see who attended the wedding in case they didn't get a chance to visit with each table. Now why didn't I think of this idea! Do you agree this was a very interesting and clever concept for wedding memories?

What a great idea! It will add to the memories of the day happy
At my fathers funeral, we left some blank cards for people to write their memories of him together with one of those photo pocket albums to slot the completed cards in. I was very hurt that, by the time everyone left the wake, all the cards had been taken but not a single person had bothered to write anything.

I think people mean well but sometimes when they are grieving, they don't know exactly what to say. It's a sensitive time, in my opinion. This photo booth was the best idea I've seen in years at a wedding. Thanks for responding.

I attended a wedding where each table had a disposable camera placed on it. The wedding attendees could take pics of the bride and groom as well as guests and create a memory book for the newlyweds. It was a fanastic idea and the pictures are still providing valuable memories 10+ years later!

Hello carolbee. It is a creative wedding this friend of yours has. I guess that you must have enjoyed it a lot last night. Well, speaking of my own wedding, I have to say that there was nothing special. It took place the way it was like many other people's of my time. Yet I still remember clearly my wedding on the last day of the year when it was very cold...Anyway I enjoyed my wedding dinner and party.

Hello williamjisir. Good to hear from you. My wedding was so long ago but we had a good time. We didn't have anything different either. We were married in the summer but it stormed something awful the night we were married and we had car trouble when leaving the reception. Thanks for responding.

Yes Carolbee that is a very interesting thing to do. I wish I would have thought of that for my wedding. I bet that was on HUGE wedding book. Maybe Ill tell my sister to have that. Have a great day Carolbee.

Wow! What a good idea. My neice recently got married and at the wedding they placed camera's on each table.....I have seen this done before. The bad thing was that some of the cameras didn't even get used as the guests didn't take photos! This was a very clever idea!


myLot reputation of 99/100. carolbee (7668)   ranked 14 out of 19,253 in questions & answers  3 years ago

We did the camera thing for one of our daughter's weddings. It didn't work so wonderful. Many pictures were taken of "butts" just to be silly and some cameras weren't used. Thanks for responding.

I've never heard of this being done. But, it sounds quite intresting. I think it would be nice to see pictures of people who attended your wedding. Good idea.


myLot reputation of 99/100. carolbee (7668)   ranked 14 out of 19,253 in questions & answers  3 years ago

I'd like to find out what the name of the company was or who owns the booth. Sounds like a very promising idea that would take a long time for burn out to happen. I may have to make a couple of calls. Thanks for responding.

That is very neat. Those will be some memories to have for a very long time. I agree that it is very interesting too.

The whole idea was great. Someone really brilliant had an idea that could be gold mine. Thanks for responding.

Hi carolbee,


That is a brilliant idea and the couple can stick the phots in the wedding album so they'll remember all the guest that was there, great!.

Each couple who took photos put their picture in the book with some kind of saying. This way the bride and groom will know who was at the reception. Very clever idea. Thanks for responding.

we have done this in several friend's wedding reception and it has been around other events as well. it is a very nice way to have an activity within the event. it is a very cheap attraction if you want your event to be memorable to your guests because you got to have the prints with you at real time and a copy for the host at no cost to the guests. i assume you are in the philippines because this has been around for quite sometime.


myLot reputation of 99/100. carolbee (7668)   ranked 14 out of 19,253 in questions & answers  3 years ago

Nope, we are in the US and I haven't seen this idea in the past. This idea has been around for awhile? The photo booth concept has been around for years and years but haven't seen it at a wedding. Thanks for responding.

Hey carol! What an interesting and clever idea! I have never
heard that before! How great! I don't know how they came up
with that, but I think that was a wonderful idea and they
can enjoy looking at the pictures right away when they get
home from the honeymoon! I hope you enjoyed the wedding! This
couple sounds very creative! I think they will have alot of
fun times together in the future!

I think alot of time and planning went into this wedding. It was just beautiful and we had a good time. Thanks for responding.

Yes, it’s a wonderful idea! Also see the personal touch that each person has the opportunity to write something to the bride and groom alongwith the photos…wow! We all write something on the gifts alright but to actually attend the wedding and then leave a personalized photo with remarks is truly awesome. It would make the memories all the more wonderful you know…just going thru the photos to see who attended and wrote what…it kind of brings a smile to one’s face in remembrance of that magical evening.


myLot reputation of 99/100. carolbee (7668)   ranked 14 out of 19,253 in questions & answers  3 years ago

Exactly. I wouldn't mind getting into a business of this nature. Could be a gold mine if enough events were scheduled throughout the year. Thanks for responding.
