Photobooth setup for Sisters wedding

I read through some of the other threads related to a photobooth style setup. I am not a paid photographer for this wedding as it is my sisters, but she asked if I'd be willing to run a small station for people to get some pictures done. I am going to run by her some ideas from the other threads I found here. But in case she wants the classic photobooth style strip prints, what sort of software is available to do that?

Wedding funds will be covering any equipment and material costs, and I'm not looking to charge or anything as it's for family.

We don't need professional quality prints, so we'll just bring an everyday inkjet I think. I will have a D7000 by this time, so I should be able to shoot tethered to my Windows laptop, which will have LR3 and most likely LR4 by that time. However I doubt Lightroom is the software to use for this.

Primarily, I am looking for software that will capture my shots, and either very quickly let me throw them into a template and print, or even if it does it automatically would be better. I am hoping there is a software solution for this vs renting or buying some more expensive equipment.

We will probably just have a backdrop with a couple cheap strobes/softboxes for lighting, and a few props, it won't be an enclosed booth to my knowledge.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

    Don't know why LR wouldn't do you just fine.

    I am fairly inexperienced with it's printing capabilities, I should look into that more. We'd likely be throwing 2-3 images on a 4x6 type setup, then use the higher res ones up on my site.
