Make your own photobooth

I'm going to start making and collecting items for the doing-it-ourselves photo-booth.
I thought of the chalk signs half way down this page http://blog.weddzilla.com/topics/diy/diy-photo-booth-ideas-worth-a-thousand-words/ I can buy the chalk paint from a local DIY store.
I'm going to keep an eye out for unusual picture frames.
Should I try 2nd hand stores for weird clothing?
Where would I get big bright sunglasses?
What else could I have that doesn't cost a lot and I could ideally make?

Saw these in lakeland

There was something similar in the Cargo
They did at some point have sticky moustaches all different shapes like 12 in a pack in the 99p store. Either use as stick on or attach to wooden sticks somehow?0 -

It might be worth checking out places like Poundland or the 99p store if you have one locally, as they often have fancy dress stuff.
I can't post links yet as I am still a newbie but the Poundland website has their Valentines range on there at the moment which I'm pretty sure is available in store, with things like devils horns, devils spears, and lace fans. They often have things like feather boas and party hats as well, which, although aren't the best quality, would probably be a good way of stocking up on loads of things! I've also just seen in the special occasions/party section of the website, they have 'assorted party glasses' on there as well :-)

Thanks for this, I popped in today and got a couple of big party glasses and a hat. i think if I get a couple of things a month I should have quite a stash by the wedding :T
Definately worth doing it bit by bit, makes it so much easier than forking out in one go!! How long do you have until your wedding?
I also went to a large Asda store this evening, and they had large glasses, and some other fancy dress type bits and bobs like wigs and things (sadly, a £30 She-Ra fancy dress costume wasn't on my shopping list tonight, so I had to leave that in the store!!:rotfl:). A bit more expensive than Poundland/99p store as they were about £2.50ish, but maybe worth a look if you go to a big supermarket for your weekly shop?
I seem to remember around Christmas that Poundland had some chalkboards as well, although they may have had a snowman on or something. I don't know if they might still have something like this there at all? Might be worth asking in store if you are popping back in to check for stuff?MFW 2016 #32 £1574.66/£1500:j:j0 -
