I am Loving: Homemade Photo Booths

I've been seeing a lot of this trend lately in the blogosphere.  And while I love the fancy, professional photo booths that print out strips of photos (like I talked about here), today I am loving homemade versions. 
 I haven't had an opportunity to do this at a party yet, but I will have to soon! 

Here's some of my favorites from around the web: 
This adorable booth is from a Circus Party by Tori of Thoughtfully Simple. It's made from a refrigerator box, fabric, and paint.  There was a box of props for guests to pose with too. 

This one is from the Gingham Birthday Brunch thrown by Kellie at This Blessed Nest.  Kellie's DIY instructions are here.

This one is also from This Blessed Nest, from the recent Cute as a Bug Party.  I LOVE this! It couldn't be any cuter!

Jenn from Hostess with the Mostess always has great photo booths at her parties. Hers are more like a "photo area" with room for many models and lots of fun props to match the theme. 

I love the idea of having these at a bridal shower.  It serves many purposes, but mainly as a fun activity for guests and a great keepsake for the bride-to-be. 

You can also keep it very simple and still end up with cute photo-ops for your party. 
It doesn't get more simple than these: 
Christy of P is for Party used an adorable Ikea frame as a mobile photo booth at her son's It's a Wonderful Life birthday party

 Just a quilt hung as a backdrop, but isn't the cutest?  They had lots of props too at this Lumber Jack & Jill Engagement Party by Frilly Milly Events

Love this simple take on the photo booth by Victoria of City Cradle Design.  DIY instructions are here. This is from her Sherbert & Spice Birthday Party.
Martha Stewart Weddings has this graphic available for free download here.  They suggest getting it printed on large paper at a copy center and using it at a wedding reception. 

Now, do yourself a favor and hurry and check out all the parties I've linked to here if you haven't already! With photo booths this creative, you know there are many other details worth clicking over for!
