Photo booths have become all the rage for parties, weddings and events. The fun festive past-time is a hit at parties and it’s a great way to give your guests a memento of all the fun they had at your shindig.
There are two types of photo booths available in the Cape Town area – choose from a retro photo booth or a box photo booth.
A retro booth is available to hire from The Original Retro Photo Booth Company in Cape Town and Stellenbosch – they specialise in hiring photo booths for weddings and 2st birthday parties. The retro booth brings back the the charm of yesteryear by putting the ‘booth’ back into ‘photo booth.’ Retro booths are equipped with state-of-the-art photographic technology that will have your guests looking their very best!
The retro booth is super fast and easy to use. Guests using the booth simply press the ‘start’ button on the touch screen when they’re ready to go and photo strips are printed in less than 6 seconds! The booth is big enough to accommodate both small and large groups – with a back curtain that can be moved aside.
The Original Retro Photo Booth Company offers a 2 hour basic photo booth package with extra hours available and includes the following:
Unlimited photo strip (2×6 in) prints.

Friendly operator to assist guests.
The Original Retro Photo Booth Company offers a prop kit and guest book as extra options when hiring the retro booth. A prop kit is a no-brainer! Your family and friends will love the added fun of dressing up for their photos and a guest book is a great way to capture the memories of your event.
A box booth is available to hire from Party Photo.They offer three packages: Basic fun (includes: 3 hour booth rental, technician, 100 photos, and 1 DVD containing photos), Mega Fun (includes: 5 hour booth rental, technician, 120 photos, and 1 USB memory stick with all photos), and Corporate Fun (8 hour booth rental, technician, unlimited photos, 1 USB memory stick with all photos, and uploading photos to your company website).
Most go for the traditional photo strip layout as seen below but there are other options as well. Kiki Photo Booth in Cape Town offer branded landscape-style photos that serve as great party favours and are also a great option for corporate events .
Most photo booth also come with dress-up gear and props to add a little extra silliness to the photo booth. Props help to loosen your up your guests and get them in the partying mood. If your booth doesn’t come with props you might want to consider buying a few and putting them out for guests.
