Where the Fun Starts!! - The BobbyK BLOG

Photo Booths are for every party

As a kid visiting the five and dime store or any amusement park, you always grabbed your best friend and a couple of quarters and entered the photo booth for a strip of four goofy poses.  We’ve all still got copies of these pictures somewhere in our photo albums.

Photo booths have become the rage of wedding receptions. Not only can participants take their photos with their dates, family and friends, but they can also have a copy to give to the bride and groom as a keepsake. Some brides set out “wedding memory” books with pages for guests to glue their pictures in and write special messages to the wedding couple. The second set of pictures is taken home as a memento of the reception.

But weddings aren’t the only place for photo booths!  Since the pictures can be “branded” with logos and dates and sayings, the list of events goes on and on.  Photo Booths are perfect for Bar & Bat Mitzvahs, company picnics or holiday parties, Grand Openings, Fundraisers, School Proms, College events and more! The combination of the number of pictures, the number of copies and the speed at which pictures are produced makes the Photo Booth a perfect choice for any party!

Flip Books are all the rage

Remember those days as a kid when you would doodle for hours on sheets of paper creating cartoons that, when stapled together, showed a stick figure moving or a car racing down a street? We called those flip books, a small advancement from the early crank-em movie reels.

Well, they are back in a truly innovative form! Flip books allow guests at any event to have a truly memorable experience that they then take home as a souvenir.  

The process is simple: Grab your friends and some props and maybe some signs (remember flip books don’t have audio). Then, act out your “skit” in six seconds for the video camera. Those six seconds are converted into 72 business-card-sized pages that are stapled into a customized cover so you can take your flip book video home with you immediately.

Now, when you want an “action” video of your last performance at a party, just take a flip book with you. No need to setup the DVD or Video player. These unique party favors are great for bar & bat mitzvahs, weddings, or corporate events. The speed at which they are produced allows every participant to get their own copy.

Fun with Photos

Everyone loves a personalized gift or party favor, and having fun (or phun) with photos is the place to start. Bobby K offers a photo booth rental for weddings, parties, and corporate events - and once your guests have their pictures taken, the possibilities are endless!

Imagine seeing yourself on the cover of a fantasy magazine, or putting together a puzzle that reveals a picture of you and your friends. You can be in the middle of a blizzard when you shake up a personalized snow globe, or click to your favorite website with your picture on the mouse pad. How about key chains, dry erase boards, clocks, and photo cubes with multiple pictures?

Check out the photo fun products you can add to your next event, and your guests will never forget the great time they had!

Team Building - Party for Wellness Part 2

A company picnic should be an opportunity for employees to strengthen and build relationships with each other. It should be a relaxing break from the day-to-day routine, and should provide healthy competition, creativity, and family-friendly fun.

Inflatable bounce houses or moon walks are great for the kids. Mechanical bulls are fun and challenging for all ages. But Bobby K Entertainment can also provide products that are real team builders. Check out this list of 5 great activities for problem-solving, teamwork, and creativity:

1. Photo Scavenger Hunt
   Employees and their families can go on a realistic "Treasure Hunt" that features your corporation or the landscape where you host the company picnic.
2. Mission Possible Laser Maze
   Watch as your co-workers try to navigate their way through a "laser maze" with blacklights, fog, and a prize at the end. Time them for company bragging rights.
3. Human Foosball
   Five players per team are strapped to poles that allow them to move side-to-side, but NOT forward or backward... just like foosball players. See which team scores the most after a set time limit.
4. Competition Site
   See what happens when professionals compete against each other in childhood favorites like Water Balloon Toss, Potato Sack Race, Tug-of-War, and Limbo.
5. Photo Booth
   Don't hand out the stuff that everyone else hands out. Set up a Bobby K Photo Booth at your next company picnic and let your employees choose what they want (photo key chains, puzzles, clocks, mouse pads, etc.). Customize any of these products with your logo!

Creating Friendships that Last - Party for Wellness Part 1

Graduating, retiring, moving away, starting a new career... all these things give us a bittersweet feeling. But instead of getting all sappy and sad and focusing on the "bitter," why not turn your attention to the "sweet?"

In the last post, I talked about Project Graduation - what a great way for high school students to relax after working so hard for 4 years! It's also a perfect ending to the time spent together. The last thing they'll remember about high school is the fun they had at Project Graduation. It's all about 'leaving on a high note.'

So why not take that philosophy and use it for your other bittersweet parties? Your co-workers would love to say their good-byes over a Fantasy Casino poker table rather than the office vending machine. Your neighbors will want to follow you out of town if your moving away party has an inflatable obstacle course instead of a sprinkler to run through. And imagine if everyone left with a strip of pictures from a Photo Fun picture booth!

The point is you can create friendships that last if you leave a lasting impression. Don't settle for what your school, your business, your organization, or your neighborhood has always done... suggest something different for the next bittersweet party and everyone will forget about that "bitter" part!
