For the Photobooth...

...that wasn't. Did I ever mention that we had a photobooth booked and paid for, but that we never, in fact, had one at our reception?? Despite a signed contract, and despite the fact that the photobooth guy scoped out our venue ahead of time, it was a no-go for our photobooth. Here's the heartbreaking story... My husband went to meet the afore-mentioned photobooth guy the morning of our wedding. When he got to our venue, he was told that there was NO WAY the photobooth was going to make it up the (five!) stairs into our reception room. When he called to break this news to me, I honestly thought he was kidding. Until I realized he wasn't. I wanted to cry! Instead, I begged him to figure out a way to make it work. He tried. He told the guy to just leave the booth, and he would round up family and friends to carry the stupid thing up the stairs. Photobooth guy wouldn't do it. (something about liability. ugh.) So, darling husband offered to pay photobooth guy an extra $500 bucks to leave it and let us figure out how to get the damn thing up the stairs. Still, he wouldn't do it.

So there you have it. We had photo props, we had a guestbook that was supposed to be filled with awesome photobooth pics of our guests... and, yet, we had no photobooth. Three months later, and I am still heartbroken. =(

Anyway, heartbreak aside, I want to show you these cute table tents I made to let everyone know about our photobooth.


Not sure you can read it, but it says:

"Say Cheese!

Before the end of the night, make sure to give us your best mug in the photobooth and write a little message in our guestbook. Return visits to the photobooth are not only allowed, but encouraged."

Cute, right? Too bad no one saw them. They were already on all the tables when we got to the reception, but I remembered to have someone go take them all down. Too sad.
