Photo Booth Fun!

Photo Booth's are fabulous!!!
I cannot think of a better "add-on" 
to your next party... easy, festive & 
more fun than you can imagine.

~ Here's How To Do It ~

Start with some really silly props!
Chalkboard Speech Bubbles are Fun..
and they are available in so many colors!


"Stuff on a stick"





Set up a "booth"!
This can be a simple as a wall in your backyard, or you can create a back drop with fabric, a sheet, ribbons and so on.
 Here are some examples:


When you order a back drop, this is what it will look like...

Next, add a over sized old chair, some barstools, a large "floating frame" to hang/hold or nothing at all. 
You get the idea!

Then, create signage... 
You'll want your guests to know "what's going over there"...
You can easily make your own sign, or if you want to buy one... here's a cutie!

"Smile"
 You maybe be a photographer or know one, either way you don't need to be a pro to make the magic happen! Just set up a small table & have a tub full of props & the rest takes care of it's self. In fact, if you have an "Polaroid" Camera you can leave your booth "unmanned" and let your guests do their own thing... 

Here's the newest model...

The "OG" Original Polaroid works great too!

The truth is, you probably have most of the props you need lying around the house, in the attic, in your kids dress up truck, and so on!

The bottom line... a photo booth is a great idea for any wedding, birthday, showers or any gathering of good friends & family!

Not interested in putting a booth together yourself? 
Then, rent one! 
Depending on where you live, there are companies that provide this service, such as:

Shortnin Bread

Our family loves going to our local farmers market... 
There's always something for everyone. Fresh fruits & veggies, beautiful flowers & plants, homemade treasures & treats. 
I have a particularly favorite booth "Shortnin Bread Bakery". 
They sell homemade goodies, including the most 
delicious short bread cookies EVER 
(wouldn't be silly if they didn't?!). 
My favorite is the "Rosemary Lime" in a word ~ YUM!!!
And they make the cutest darn Hello Kitty cookies! 
Great little gifts, party favors or just for yourself... 
and they taste as good as they look too! 
Best of all, Shortnin Bread Bakery believes in 
"the importance of supporting local farmers, artisans, crafters, and friends to bring you the best ingredients possible"
~ I love their tag line ~ 
"Responsible Baking ~ local, organic, sustainable". 
Delicious & Responsible ~ That's a terrific 2-fer!


Last but not least, everything you buy from them comes 
packaged so nicely and ready to give as a gift... 
Shortnin Bread is a triple threat ~ fun, festive & fabulous!!!

Now get busy clicking the "pink links" below to check them out!



Don't live locally? Don't worry, go to etsy... 

And finally, these are hard working peeps that are living their dream... 
so let's show them some love & go to their FB page and "like" them! 
then leave a message on their FB page that says
 "Mary from Too Stinkin' Cute sent me". 
I know they'd love to hear from you!
