Comparison

Rent a booth, or make it yourself?

Hire it if you want somebody else standing behind it all evening. Make it yourself if you want to keep the props afterwards. Everything in between is why this site exists.

Strength against weakness

OptionWhere it winsWhere it hurts
HiringSomebody carries it in, sets it up, keeps it running and printsYou are paying for an evening of labour and for the van it came in
Making itThe light and the props belong to you when the party endsIt is your own evening that disappears into the build
The browser boothNothing arrives, nothing has to go back, nothing can be lateNo paper in a guest's hand, and no attendant other than you

What it looks like afterwards

A group squeezing into shot with their arms around each other
A guest pulling a face at the tablet on its stand
The dance floor behind somebody posing for the booth
