6 Steps To A Home Photo Booth And Endless Fun
I'll never understand people who don't love photo booths. The only consequence to a photo booth at a party is endless fun. Obviously I want one at my next get-together, but I tend to only see them at weddings. I have no intention of getting married anytime soon but that shouldn't stop me from making one on my own.
These six steps to making your own photo booth will guarantee you a great party and tons of pictures to remember the night later, or you know, to Instagram immediately.
