Photo booths are a very popular event trend that will stick around for a long time to come. From wedding receptions to baby showers to birthday parties, photo booths are all the range. So why not light a spark with having a photo booth at your next party!
A photo booth will bring together guests of all ages and create lots of beautiful memories. Adding props or backdrops are definitely a must so I have put together a list of photo booth necessities that I want to share with you for what you need to know about creating a custom photo booth for the party you’ve always wanted…
1. Frames
Using frames in photo booths gives an extra something to your picture. From vintage looking frames to modern quirky polaroid styles, they make a great prop for an outdoor backdrop.
2. Chalkboards & Speech Bubbles
These great messaging boards give more of a personal feeling and emotion to the picture. Whether guests choose to draw on them, send funny messages or their good wishes.
3. Silly Hats & wigs
Every photo booth should be fun! Funny hats and wigs for guests will do just that!
4. Spectacles, Masks, lips & Moustaches
To make it even more fun, people can use props such as fake lips, funny mustaches, masks or big spectacles.
5. Good Lighting
The most important aspect of capturing good photos is good lighting. This will make your guests feel extra confident to do out of the box pictures.
6. A Camera
The camera, the single most important thing that is needed for your photo booth to come alive. And don’t forget about the film for the camera!
7. Backdrop
The backdrop of the photo booth should be memorable. From colorful, patterned backgrounds to destination backgrounds.
8. Instructions
Any event is bound to have guests of all sizes, shapes, and ages. Not all of the guests are therefore familiar with the photo booth concept. So, why not leave some instructions on how to use the booth.
9. Guestbook
Give your guests the opportunity to make fun memorable photos to have and share with friends. They can take photos and place a copy with a personalized note in your guestbook.
