For many people photo booths are something new. Actually, Photo Booths have been around for many year and saw a resurgence of interest in the 1990s. The booth is basically a cabinet with a camera, computer, high speed printer, and a monitor. Typically, the booth is enclosed by curtains or a door which ensures the privacy of people inside the booth so they can pose and ham it up without feeling inhibited.

In the last few years photo booths have become increasingly popular and are becoming quite common at events of all kinds. Be it a wedding or corporate event people of all ages can be seen entering and leaving the booth with a smile. If you plan on renting a booth for your special event you can feel confident that the youngsters and the grand parents will be taking their turn in front of the camera. A photo booth will quickly become a major part of the event entertainment.

The typical approach for a photo booth is to pay a flat fee for a set amount of time and let it become a part of the event. Unlike an open bar, you know the cost of the photo booth when you rent it. In addition to the booth, most companies provide at least one attendant who is there to maintain the booth and work with the DJ to get the guests in the booth. Once the pictures start circulating around the crowd the lines will form.

There are three ways that photo booths add to the entertainment at a wedding, birthday party, or quinceanera. The first way that the booth adds to the entertainment is of course the photographs themselves. Most photo booth companies can offer print sizes from photo booth rentals Los Angeles through 5×7 or larger. This variety can offer some really unique gift ideas at your event.

Another part of the entertainment is for the booth to print two strips of images of each booth session. One strip becomes part of the memories for the guests and the other placed in a scrap book. The booth attendant will assist the guests with pasting one of the strips in a scrap book and making sure that the guests write a special message next to their photographs.
