If you need encouragement/ideas for the Photobooth, we are doing one for our wedding. DIY. Renting one was over 600 dollars for only two hours, so that seemed rediculous.
My lady is getting ours up and going using a camera she got off ebay for 20 bu…
I ended up compromising on this issue - our save-the dates will be relatively silly/nerdy, (in the style of a 1940s movie poster or comic book cover) while the invitations themselves will be classier, more traditional.
Thanks so much for your reply Justin! It's definitely not too late. I won't be getting married for another year, so there's plenty of time. BTW, I love your invitation. Awesome concept. Did you have the narration play before you walked down the aisl…
I cant believe I forgot our Keutbah (jewish wedding contract). It is awesome! You can also order them in non Jewish wording. We got ours from MP ArtWork. They have the best customer service ever!
We also had our dogs walked down the aisle then moved…
OK, late reply but I think I am an EXPERT on this.
We are both nerds and wanted nerdy touches so we did a lot of sneaky things.

I really like the invitations idea, but we had talked about using vintage Chicago postcards instead (we're getting married in Chicago). A photo booth could be really awesome. I'll have to check out places that rent them.
Hell yeah!
1. Cookies shaped like the batman logo!
2. Engagement photos dressed up as your favorite superhero!
3. DIY (Do It Yourself) Photo Booth with costumes and props!
4. Design your invitations like a comic book!
I'll see what else I can think…
HA! Thanks for the suggestions. I like both of those ideas a lot. Working comic book art into some of the place settings or table designs could be really cool.
I have two friends who read a ton. They had books on every table from their book collection and had themes on each table with the books. You could easily use this as an excuse to buy some comics and lay them out on every table.
An other thing would…
Will any of his teammates be there? If so, is there anything you could do with them? Maybe, and I know this might sound cheesy, they could do some kind of football huddle with you and your fiancee inside and that's how you emerge to greet your guest…
My fiancee and I have both agreed that our wedding should be a nice mix of small/classy and offbeat/fun. While we're both a bit nerdy, we don't want anything themed (i.e. Star Wars wedding, Anime wedding, etc.). Does anyone have any ideas on how to…

You gotta remember always that this is YOUR wedding, nobody else's. This is the one day in your lives that you get to have things your way. Think of it as a blow-out party that you both get to throw. Don't let ANYBODY else tell the either of you wha…
