Why Photo Booth is perfect for weddings

By partyimage Photo Booth

There are two types of wedding receptions: regular ones and Photo Booth ones. Photo Booth wedding fun always transforms a reception from a regular affair into something very special.

As a Sacramento based DJ company that specializes in Northern California wedding receptions, we marvel at the almost magical pull Photo Booth has on your guests. They won’t stay away from it. They CAN’T stay away because Photo Booth wedding fun is so darn irresistible!

Photo Booth wedding fun!

You’ll have guests at your reception who are extremely shy when it comes to getting up on the dance floor. They’re just not comfortable dancing for a variety of reasons. And yet ultimately they’ll have more fun if they get out of their chairs during the course of your party. Well, Photo Booth is the perfect antidote to shy guests

It’s fun. Inhibitions melt away in an instant as they get caught up in the goofy fun Party Image’s Photo Booth offers.

Our fun props are guaranteed to create delightful photo ops. Memories will be created in an instant and preserved forever by this Northern California Photo Booth company. These are the pics that will flood social media in honor of your wedding celebration.

There’s another reason Photo Booth wedding fun will transform your wedding reception from a regular affair into something very special: it helps to keep the dance floor packed! When shy guests aren’t in the Photo Booth, they’re on the dance floor since Photo Booth has melted away their inhibitions.

It is truly a beautiful thing to behold.

Party Image Entertainment creates the perfect “organic” party by the fusion of DJ wedding entertainment and Photo Booth wedding fun. When your guests aren’t dancing, they’re at the Photo Booth. When they’re not at the Photo Booth, they’re on the dance floor. It all happens so naturally, so organically, so to speak, in the hands of our professional entertainment team.

Be honest, your wedding reception IS special, and you should strive to realize your dreams with the proven entertainment potential of Photo Booth. Let Party Image Entertainment transform your wedding dreams into an evening of magic!

Marriage is good for your health

By partyimage Culture

We live to celebrate. No celebration is more special than a wedding. Party Image Entertainment knows, because we specialize in wedding entertainment. But did you also know marriage is good for your health?

It’s true! Another wonderful reason to celebrate weddings.

Comedians who like to poke fun at their spouses love to make marriage the butt of their jokes. For example:

In the first year of marriage, the man speaks and the woman listens.

In the second year, the woman speaks and the man listens.

But by the third year, they both speak and the neighbors listen.

The longterm beauty of marriage

When you set aside the foibles of each of us and look at the longterm beauty of marriage objectively, you’re faced with a shocking realization: marriage is good for your health! According to research, you will actually live a longer, healthier life if you’re married.

Marriage is good for your health This research was conducted by Scott Haltzman, MD, who is a clinical assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at Brown University in Rhode Island. He is the author of The Secrets of Happy Families: Eight Keys to Building a Lifetime of Connection and Contentment.

Marriage health benefits

Check out these amazing facts. Married people:

√ Live longer than single people.

√ Experience fewer strokes and heart attacks.

√ Have a lower risk of depression.

√ Have a lower risk for advanced cancer.

√ Survive longer when cancer does strike.

√ Are better able to survive major operations.

He looked at mortality rates for married women at age 45 years of age. They have a 90 percent chance of living to age 65 verses unmarried women who only have an 80% chance of living that long.

The difference for men is even more dramatic. Married men live on average 17 years longer than single men!

Marriage IS good for your health!

Marriage is so therapeutic to men, that a married man with heart disease will live an average of four years longer than a single man with a healthy heart.

And did you know that unmarried people spend twice as much time in hospitals as married people?

Both unmarried women and men have much higher rates of depression than their married counterparts, but with men, the differential is glaring. Unmarried men are nine times as likely as married men to suffer from depression.

Former late night talk show host and funny man, David Letterman, even admitted that divorce is harmful to your health, but he had to insert a punchline, of course:

“According to a new survey, people who get divorced die early. People who stay married live longer. The difference is they just wish they were dead.”

Now, now Dave! Let’s remain positive! The research is in: marriage leads to happier, healthier, more fulfilling lives.

Marriage is worth celebrating!

Let’s celebrate! As you plan your wedding celebration, check out our wedding entertainment services, our fabulous event lighting, and Sacramento’s favorite Photo Booth. Party Image Entertainment is the wedding celebration specialists you’ve been hearing about!

Congratulations on your upcoming marriage.

By partyimage Recipes

Italians know how to love life, beginning with their spaghetti and meatballs. This blog commends their panache for living, and goes even further with this philosophy: great food enhances marriage. So here’s a passionate spaghetti and meatball recipe for newlyweds which will enhance your marriage!

Italian cuisine offers endless possibilities on the creative use of pasta. In this recipe, the meatball is king. You’re going to savor them. At the same time, the pasta gives you something fun to do with your fork.

To enhance the sensuality of this recipe, immediately lower the lights. Then open a nice bottle of cabernet and pour a glass for each of you. Furthermore, select some nice music with an Italian flair. You can’t go wrong with Andre Bocelli.

Okay, get ready to live life to the hilt with this passionate spaghetti and meatball recipe for newlyweds!

Ingredients make the difference in this passionate spaghetti and meatball recipe!

Meatballs:

4 slices hearty white sandwich bread, crusts removed, torn into small pieces

8 ounces (1 cup) whole-milk ricotta cheese

2 pounds ground pork

1 ounce Parmesan cheese, grated (1/2 cup), plus extra for serving

1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

2 large eggs

2 shallots, minced

4 garlic cloves, minced

1 tablespoon salt

1 1/2 teaspoons pepper

1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

Sauce:

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

10 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

2 (28-ounce) cans crushed tomatoes

Salt and pepper

2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

Ready for the passion? Here are your easy-to-follow instructions:

FOR THE MEATBALLS: Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 450 degrees. Then set wire rack in aluminum foil–lined rimmed baking sheet and spray evenly with vegetable oil spray. Next, combine bread and ricotta in large bowl and let sit, mashing occasionally with fork, until smooth paste forms, about 10 minutes.
Add pork, Parmesan, parsley, eggs, shallots, garlic, salt, pepper, and lemon zest to bread mixture and mix with your hands until thoroughly combined. Then divide meat mixture into 24 portions (about 1/4 cup each) and place on platter. Roll meat between your wet hands to form meatballs and space evenly on prepared wire rack. Roast meatballs until browned, 30 to 35 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through roasting. Remove from oven and reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees.
FOR THE SAUCE: Meanwhile, combine oil and garlic in Dutch oven set over low heat and cook until garlic is soft and golden on all sides, 12 to 14 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then add pepper flakes and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in tomatoes and 1 teaspoon salt. Cover, with lid slightly ajar, and bring to simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until sauce has thickened slightly, about 30 minutes. Also, season with salt and pepper to taste.
Nestle meatballs into sauce, cover, and transfer pot to oven. Bake until meatballs are tender and sauce has thickened, about 30 minutes. Transfer meatballs and sauce to serving platter. Sprinkle with basil and serve, passing extra Parmesan separately.
Finally, serve over pasta that has been lightly oiled with olive oil.

Bon appétit!

How to tie a tie

By partyimage Culture, Photo Booth

It’s true: a lot of men can’t be bothered to dress up for weddings or funerals. I see guys in cargo shorts and Hawaiian shirts at weddings and even their Aunt Mabel’s funeral! What gives? Maybe it’s because they simply don’t know how to tie a tie!

Party Image Entertainment provides a simple tutorial on how to tie a tie in the handy video above.

Don’t be embarrassed if you never mastered the art. You’re not alone, but it’s not hard, especially with the assist of this video. Watch it. Practice. You’ll have it mastered by the third knot!

Look impressive!

No matter what anyone says, a man wearing a tie is an impressive site.

Peyton & Eli Manning

Football greats, Peyton and Eli Manning wear ties talking to each other on the phone! If it’s good enough for a couple of guys with four Super Bowl rings between them and a combined net worth of $300 million, isn’t it good enough for you? And here’s the deal, you don’t have to be able to throw a football sixty yards to look like a hall of famer in a tie!

Michael Jordan

Basketball great, Michael Jordan, wears a tie just walking into Starbucks! If it’s good enough for a guy with six NBA titles and a net worth of more than one billion (with a B) dollars, isn’t it good enough for you? Don’t worry if you can’t slam dunk a basketball. Your coolness factor will skyrocket if you simply dress like Mike!

Zac Efron

Speaking of cool, Zac Efron wears a tie with sun glasses just to look cool! Now if a Hollywood heart throb and star of High School Musical flits about town in broad daylight wearing a tie, well, maybe you should sit up and take notice! If the only thing holding you back is lack of confidence on how to tie a tie, stop what you’re doing right now. Invest 107 seconds and watch the video above.

You need a tie for formal and semi-formal occasions

Party Image Entertainment doesn’t suggest that a guy can’t knock around in a t-shirt and a ball cap with the bill facing backward. But there is a time and a place for a suit, don’t you think? For example, if you get a wedding invitation that says formal or semi-formal, you’ll need to wear a coat and tie.

If you’re planning a wedding and you want to go the formal or semi-formal route, I encourage you to share this blogpost with your friends who may need a refresher course on how to tie a tie! With so many well-dressed guys in attendance, you’ll be sure to want a Photo Booth on hand to capture these fashion plates in action!

If you found this blogpost helpful, please share it. Thank-you.
