Wedding Planning Is A Must

Weddings are  big events in our lives and there is a lot of things to think about from hiring vendors, to picking the perfect location, to who gets an invite. Many people ask what is the first thing you should plan and prepare for your wedding. Well first, you should really think about who you are going to invite that way you can find a location that fits the size of your wedding party. You don’t want to fall in love with a great location that only fits 75 and then start your guest list and end up with 200 people you have to invite.

Next, you should find the venue for the big day.  It’s best to start early becasuse the venue may already be booked on the  day you want to get married  if you do not  reserve it early. So before picking the perfect date and time think about where and when.

After you have your venue locked in, you officially have a wedding date and you can start filling in all the rest of the amazing details for you wedding like your dress, fittings, and alterations.

Remember, a little planning can go a long way and planning ahead will pay off in the end and help you get one step closer to that amazing wedding of your dreams.

Our tip day is consider what flowers you want for your wedding and when they are in highest demand.

If any of you have tried to buy roses lately, like say today Valentines Day (hint,hint gentleman) you may realize the cost has almost doubled due to high demand.

Almost all flowers are going to cost more around Valentines Day so if your big day is planned for anytime near Valentines Day remember that and factor it into your budget.  Flowers are going to cost more around Valentines day no matter what. Even if you plan ahead think about this and factor in other holidays that may effect the cost of your flowers, like Mothers  Day. This goes along with our post  about how holidays can affect your wedding,  here is the link to check it out.

Michael and Denise Gunter

The FotoBox is a San Diego based photo booth rental company. Michael created the first FotoBox for their own wedding, set his camera inside, and their business was born

“The Marriage of Denise and Michael

The Best Wedding Ever And The Beginning Of The FotoBox! 6-13-10″

What makes this photo booth different from others we have captured silly moments in is the ability to personalize the booth for each client.  Michael and Denise meet with the clients in the days leading up to their event to record their voices when the camera ques up to take photos. Once the three photos are taken, the client has the option to insert an image or a photo saying thank you to the guests. Denise mentioned this was a nice touch to include because it allows the client to thank the guests for attending their party. We could not help but notice the amazing print quality of the photos.

The Foto Box’s packages come standard with unlimited photos, on site photo booth attendant, black and white or colored photos, delivery, setup, removal, and a photo strip guest book. Michael and Denise had a sample photo strip guest book at the release party and it was amazing. The booth prints out two sets of photo strips.  One is given to the guest and the additional copy is inserted into the guest book where guests get to leave their well wishes. The client receives their guest book the night of the event and can display it on their coffee table for years to come. The photos are also uploaded online to a photo gallery , so guests can get additional copies.

 We are located in San Diego California, where the weather is almost always nice. We can travel to where you are. In saying that, we do have to set limits somewhere- so no further away than Paris.( Don’t forget to throw in the plane tickets and a stay at a five or six star hotel)

If you just want to hear our voices, we can be reached at 619.512.3104.
