DIY Photo booth attendant??

This is kind of an odd question, but I'm hoping you ladies can help.

I am doing a DIY photo booth. Basic set up is a background, props, digital camera, and photo printer.

I wanted to buy a program that allows you to auto-upload and auto-print, but before I could do that we had a severe budget crisis and are cutting things left and right. I really still want to do the photo booth, but logisticly the only way it will work without that program would be if I had someone attending it through the night.

I don't want to ask any friends/family to do it, because I want them to enjoy the wedding. So I'm thinking of hiring someone.

Any tips where to find someone like this? I'd really like to pay about $50 for the night, which would be about $10 an hour. I'm wary of craigslist because who knows who might show up, you know?

    Any younger family friends? or do you have any siblings that have friends that are looking to make a little extra cash?

    Any 'friends' you know need some cash that aren't invited to the wedding?  What about posting a flier at a college campus?  If you do go with craigslist, it can work just fine.  Just meet with them first (as you would anyone else working your wedding) and talk about it.  Then you can say yes or no.  HTH!

    I don't want to ask an uninvited "friend" because I feel like that'd be saying, "You're not good enough to be invited, but please come work my wedding."

    I was thinking of trying to community college thing. That might be a good route. Thanks!

    Yeah I figured it'd be a touchy subject with an acquaintance.  I hope you find someone.  Let us know how the search goes!

    You could always ask younger relatives or family friends and give them time slots so they don't miss the whole reception.  My cousin is being the MC at my wedding since I'm not using a DJ and he's actually really excited to have the job!

    I like kellyku05's idea of having friends/family rotate shifts so that they aren't missing out on the fun. I think there are going to be people more than willing to do something like this for you.

    I ditto the idea of a friend or family member (you know, one of those people who HAVE to do something? ;-) ). There are a lot of printers you can hook straight up to a computer or a camera card put into a printer and print directly from there.
