Photo Booths: Crazy Props.

Now that you’ve got your photo booth, you can concentrate your thoughts on how to make the photos more amusing. You’ve got the usual moustaches, big bow-ties, oversized glasses and afro wigs, which can get a little…well, boring. The sky is the limit when it comes to props. Let guests write on chalkboard speech bubbles which can double up as guest books or if you have a theme, work with that. Go crazy. Top it up with a few drops of alcohol and you’ll be surprised how much they’ll let loose, even for the most stern. It’s all about shameless fun.

Where to buy?: Costume shops on Pottinger Street in Central for party-wear or Etsy for paper props.

DIY: If you’ve got time on your hands, here’s another DIY project for you. Oh Happy Day has a brilliant free printable download so you too, can make your own props. You’re becoming quite the crafty chick aren’t you?

Wedding Photo Booths For Hire.

Hong Kong is a city that loves all things trendy, so it comes as no surprise that the latest fad to hit town is the snap happy photo booth. Oh, never mind that we’re about 2 years late. It’s a fun way to entertain guests before the reception or rather, to amuse themselves posing with silly props (and you thought they were camera-shy). Mention the photo booth to guests to ensure they don’t arrive ‘HK wedding’ time. Now, say cheese.

Companies that hire out the ever-popular photo booths together with props are popping up everywhere so should you have the budget and want to be stress-free, here are the ones to contact.
