Why a Photo Booth for Cocktail Hour?
Cocktail hour is often a necessary addition due to wedding day logistics. Whether you need to turn over the ceremony space for the reception, take group photos, or change into a different party dress, Whatever the practical reason, cocktail hour is designed to entertain guests during the interim. But it often needs a little something more to occupy guests' time and attention, especially if you may need extra time behind the scenes.

How Should You Add a Photo Booth?
Renting a photo booth is pretty simple for most couples. The rental service will provide the equipment and basic training needed to operate this largely self-contained unit. Ask them the amount of clear space necessary for the booth you're renting in particular. Be sure to leave plenty of space around it so that guests can maneuver around it while others come and go simultaneously.
Make sure guests know about the photo booth, particularly if it's not in a prominent location. Most couples choose a spot that's outside the main traffic patterns and where noise won't bleed over into — or from — activities like cake cutting or the DJ's work. But don't hide it either, or people may not put out the effort to find and use it.
Give guests a wedding hashtag, especially if the booth uploads electronic copies of pictures. Announce the beginning of the cocktail hour to let them know the hashtag or other sharing instructions and place signage by the booth itself.
