Thanksgiving Photo Booth

by Shannon Marburger

I know most of you are probably running around trying to do all the last minute shopping for your big Thanksgiving family get together. We are actually pretty lucky because we haven’t had to shop much since we are going to my sisters in Houston. She and her husband just bought a new house and invited everyone there for Thanksgiving. I’m excited to spend the day with my family and see her new house. You know I love houses, decorating, and seeing what inspires other people.

I wanted to share with you something I’m taking to my sisters for a little family fun. I put together a quick Thanksgiving photo booth so we take some pics of our fun Thanksgiving celebration together. I’m already thinking about all the instagram photos I’ll have! Here is what I put together tonight in about an hour.

That chalkboard huge paper will be the backdrop and is a download I purchased from the Caravan Shoppe. You just purchase the graphic that you want, they email it to you, and then you do with what you please. I had mine printed out at Staples in a 3ftX4ft size print. Something was wrong with their machine at this size, so the edges have a little streaking. I think it will be fine though for what we are doing with it. It just looks a little more chalkboardy. I know that’s not a word, but I didn’t know how to describe it, and basically say “I’m ok with it”. Plus I got a little discount because of it. These are a little under $7 to have printed out. I’m just going to tape it to a wall and use as our backdrop.

Next I made a few props we can use. We will have some pumpkins and indian corn we can use also
