Dress Up & Say Cheese!

Instead of having a guest book at our reception, we will have a photo booth where guests can leave a photo instead of a note.  Well, actually, ours isn't a photo booth...it's a fauxtobooth!  Our guests will pose in front of a DIY-ed backdrop, rather than inside an actual booth.

There is a great deal of beautiful fauxtobooth inspiration on wedding blogs.  Some involve cute props made out of felt or paper:

Some involve beautiful vintage frames:

Some are unique to the wedding's theme:

Ours will be what I like to call "thrift store chic."  Mama Lioness is a master thrift shopper and has been collecting funky fauxtobooth props for over a year now.  After we threw in a few of our own contributions, here's our collection thus far:

 A light up magic wand

 Lots of fabulous hats

 Florida Gators stuff!

 A fancy fan

 An old, distressed shawl

 Two Marie Antoinette wigs

 All kinds of awesome eye gear

 UCF Knights gear

 And finally, a faux-gold Cadillac chain.  Be jealous.

Remember that old mailbox that I found?  If not, here it is with our last two props.

The rest of our props just so happen to fit perfectly inside the mailbox.

And here's the painted front of the mailbox!  Prop set-up complete!

Bee tee dubs, this is what my wedding guest room looks like right now:

Gasp!

Are you doing a fauxtobooth?  What are you doing for your props?
