I just got this idea yesterday & I'm really excited about it.

 

I bought a cheap green screen on ebay ($27 for a 9 foot by 12 foot green muslin curtain). We will hang it up at the after wedding fiesta. People can take their pictures in front of it & I'll photoshop them into a Mexico scene. There might even be one where they can have a picture with us like they were at the wedding.

 

Here is a link if you don't know what I'm describing

Pulp: Juicy bits from OP Crew: Green Screen Photography for Holiday Parties

 

We will also use this at my bachelorette party to make pictures of us in NYC like we are the Sex & the city girls.

 

Every year we have a prom party with a backdrop for pictures. This might also work nicely for that next year. The next theme is a jungle theme. Here is a picture from our "dancing under the stars" prom.

It's by adobe. It comes for both macs & PCs. I'd suggest elements if you are just starting out. You can probably get a copy on ebay for $20-$30. I have elements v4.0 & I really like it. The red eye reduce is really good on this version.

You can do so much with elements. I just upgraded to the full version recently because I've been spending a lot of time photoshopping & feel limited with my options. But, really elements is a great program.

I'll post the steps for how to remove the background later. It's VERY simple & quick so it shouldn't be a problem to do it for a lot of pictures from the AHR.

I'll also find the ebay seller where I got the cheap green screen. Mine hasn't come in yet, but I'll post some examples once it does.

The prom party was a blast. It's a great opportunity to reuse a BM dress too. We had a cheesy theme, cheesy music, and coursages for all the ladies. They were a chainlinked garland of flowers from AC moore. It was easy to hook them on a piece of elastic & make enough for all the girls. I'm wearing it in this picture.

We posed on the staircase for a bunch of pictures, too just like highschool.

We plan on doing something similar for the AHR, but it will be a red carnation for the hair.

I bought a $10 column from ac moore for the next prom for people to pose with. The next theme will be "it's a jungle out there."

Here are some other theme parties that were fun
The 90s party (my favorite)
dress like a disney charecter
finer things party (still being planned)- top hats, monacles, classical music, canes, mustaches, boas, gloves, etc.


It seems like every party requires a costume lately.

I love the prom party idea, esp since I didn't know Doug in HS and don't have many opportunities to dress up with him, that would be so fun.

PS can't wait to see how your green screen idea works out after your AHR. Sounds so cool!

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
