Wishes Photo Booth
Introduction
Sometimes the sweetest part of a baby shower is what sticks long after the party ends. That’s what this little photo booth is about capturing a goofy smile, a kind word, or just a moment that means something. The idea’s simple: guests take a quick photo, write a wish for the baby, and pop both into a box or a little book. Doesn’t have to be deep. Doesn’t have to be fancy. It’s just about showing up with love.
What You’ll Need
- Some kind of camera (a phone works fine, but a Polaroid is even better)
- A few fun props tiny hats, silly glasses, or baby stuff
- Notecards or tags for people to write their wishes
- Pens or markers (don’t forget extras)
- A place to keep it all a box, binder, or even a shoebox dressed up cute
- A little sign that says what to do, just in case
How to Play
- Set up a small spot with a background (a sheet, curtain, or wall works) and the props out in a basket.
- Ask guests to take a photo by themselves, with the parents-to-be, or with friends totally up to them.
- After the pic, they jot down a little message for the baby. It can be sweet, silly, short, long no rules here.
- Stick the photo to the note, or keep them together somehow, and drop it in the box or glue it into a book if you’re feeling crafty.
- By the end of the day, you’ve got this pile of good vibes and funny faces the baby can look at years from now and think, 'Wow, I was loved.'
Fun Variations
Add little prompt cards in case people don’t know what to write stuff like 'I hope you always…' or 'Here’s one thing your parents should teach you…'
Turn a wall into a photo gallery by clipping the pics up with string and clothespins
Let people write on the back of the photos directly if you're using Polaroids
Encourage group pics with one shared note
Record short video wishes too if someone’s up for it
Why Guests Love It
- It’s easy, no pressure just smile, write, done.
- They get to leave something behind that actually means something.
- The photos turn out great especially with a few silly props and people being themselves.
- It gives the baby something real to look back on, not just gifts and checklists.
Conclusion
The Wishes Photo Booth isn’t about being perfect it’s about being present. The baby might not understand those notes for a while, but one day they’ll look back and feel how loved they were before they even showed up. It’s simple. It’s sweet. And honestly, it just works.
