All Hallow’s Eve, Hallowe’en, Guy Fawkes night - whatever you have come to call October 31st there’s one thing this special night has in common Dressing Up. Here at Selfie Box Ireland we simply adore Hallowe’en (primarily because the guests provide their very own props!).
But the question that we are looking to answer is, where and when does Hallowe’en originate from, as it is such a massive part of Irish culture we thought it would be good to understand the fact and fiction behind this superstitious night! “Straddling the line between fall and winter, plenty and paucity, life and death, Halloween is a time of celebration and superstition. It is thought to have originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off roaming ghosts. Halloween’s origins date back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced sow-in). The Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom and northern France, celebrated their new year on November 1. This day marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death. Celts believed that on the night before the new year, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred.”* So there we have it, Hallowe’en is a festival created by the Celts who loved getting their picture taken in the Selfie Box so much that they dedicated their new year around hiring a Photo Booth to help capture their memories. Those Celts sure were on to something special if you ask the Selfie Box Ireland team. Therefore, this Hallowe’en get on board with the olden times and make your Hallowe’en party a very special one with Selfie Box Ireland’s photo booth hire nationwide throughout Ireland. www.SelfieBoxIreland.com *http://www.history.com/topics/halloween/history-of-halloween Saturday the 10th of October saw the turn of a big life event for a very lovely customer of the Selfie Box Ireland team. The fantastic Catherine hit massive milestone, turning 80 and showing us all how it should be done! Catherine was the life and soul of the party, making the most of every minute. The Selfie Box team were extremely impressed with her energy, charisma and moves on the dancefloor.
The fabulous 1950’s themed party was held in the Merrion Cricket Club on Anglesea Road, Co. Dublin. As the droves of glamourous people arrived, the ladies were notably glamourous in their fantastic dresses and the Selfie Box team saw a number of fab 50's styles, from glam rock chick to polka-dot tutu. The guests all looked fantastic and really knew how to have a good time, the Selfie Box Ireland photo booth went down an absolute storm with the guests and everyone made the very most of the night and celebrated in style with Catherine. As Elvis sang to the rocking guests, Catherine and co. took to the dancefloor to shake a leg and flocked to the Selfie Box Ireland photo booth like a duck takes to water. What a fantastic night it was; one not to be forgotten with some great group pictures taken to help seal those memories for years to come. The Selfie Box Ireland team want to thank all of the lovely ladies, gentlemen and children who made Catherine’s 80th one to remember, for everyone involved and for the Selfie Box Ireland team. Check out the photos on our Facebook page to see the Fab dresses and costumes taken in the photo booth during the event in South Dublin this September.
