    No photobooth although I think it's a cool idea. We took the candy buffet out of our budget. I'm hoping to add it back in later.

    Our photographer is setting up some sort of photobooth. I'm not quite sure what he has up his sleeve yet, but I trust him, so we're excited! No candy buffet though.

    We are having a photobooth and decided to not do the candy buffet because of the scale of our guest list but my showers are split into 2 so my mom offered to have one for me at the shower :)

    We are having a photobooth, but it's a set-up that one of our groomsmen has come up with and isn't the traditional booth.  It works pretty well though, he's done it at the last 2 weddings I've been to and it's been a hit.  Best of all, we're only paying for paper and ink.

    We can't have any unpackaged candy at our reception, so I don't think we're doing the candy buffet.  We are probably going to get custom can koozies made and use those as our favors.

    I am doing a candy buffet. Wish I could do the photoboth but not in the budget. I bought my candy jars from another knottie off the classified board and saved money by doing this !

    I would love to do a photobooth at the wedding, but I just don't have a budget for it. I am creating one at home which is where we are hosting the Rehearsal Dinner. I am going to create a simple backdrop and props. We are getting this camera which is fairly foolproof. 

    As for the candy buffet. Yes, I am (hopefully) doing this for my wedding. I'll probably get my glass at yardsales and HomeGoods.

    we've hired a photobooth (The Traveling Photobooth) for our reception and we aren't doing a candy buffet. We ARE doing a popcorn bar, though, that I've planned on my own. We have everything for it except the popcorn itself. It's been super easy and cheap too! The purpose behind this is b/c our ceremony and reception are at the same place, and we are doing pics between the two. Since we don't want people bored and hungry, we will have a video playing that tells our "how we met" story, and have the popcorn bar open.

    I got a great deal : I'm booking the DJ, videographer, and photobooth with the same company. We are only paying 250 for the PB the guy just started his business. I have been buying jars at Ross and Michael and my coordinator will get the candy at a warehouse with her discount :

    No to both.  We are having 240 guests invited and I think it's too much.  My Mom offered to do it but I did suggest she can have it at the Bridal Shower.  I personally don't want a candy buffet. 

    It's getting close ladies!!

    We aren't getting ours instantly either (most likely), so we decided we will put a copy in the thank you cards for those who participate in the photobooth... if you didn't think of that idea already :)

    Neither one.  We just decided we'd rather spend the money on other things like the upgraded bar and stationed menu.

    Probably will do both, as entertainment since we're not doing dancing more a dinner party style instead and FI hates weddings and dancing to begin with so no dj is a compromise. We are def doing a sundae bar as well tho. : any other ideas for fun without dancing?

    We are having a candy buffet, buts thats just because FI mom and niece wanted one. So they are in charge of it : ) We were going to do a photo booth but I took it out of the budget because things were starting to add up and I just couldnt see myself spending that kind of money when we still had other things to pay for. Maybe we will put it back in if we win the lottery Laughing

    We are having a photo booth. This was one of things that I really really wanted. I got a good deal through the company my cousin went with. I'm excited to have it! We're also using it for our guest book. Should be super cute!

    We are doing both.  Our photobooth is a company that I got a large discount for since my mom knows one of the owners.  As for the buffet, we are doing a cookie/candy buffet combo.  A friend of mine is setting this up for us so she can take pics and use for her portfolio (she is starting a buffet business) so I am just paying for the candy and she is doing the rest  I have got really lucky with both of these!
