We love our photo booth rental experiences! They can be one of the best ways to get everyone together for some fun and take home some great memories. However, getting creative and ensuring your photo booth rental is unforgettable can be a bit challenging.
With that in mind, we’ve collected our top tips for making your next photo booth experience truly unique!
1. Give Your Guests Something To Do
You want your photo booth to be a highlight of the party, so giving your guests something to do is absolutely essential. Try combining both digital and physical props, such as paper mustaches, signs, hats, goofy glasses, and more.
Allowing guests to print their photos is fun too, and instantly creates a keepsake of the night.
2. Good Lighting Is Essential
You don’t want your photos to look dark or blurry, so good lighting is an absolute must. If possible, place your photo booth in a spot with plenty of natural light. If you can’t, be sure to use plenty of bright spotlights and other lighting fixtures to help your photos look great.
3. Spice Up Your Photo Strip
Rather than the standard four-photo-strip design, go for something that stands out. If possible, select a photo strip backdrop and overlay design that coordinates with your event. Even something as simple as a colorful design with your event title can make all the difference.
4. Keep It Professional
Getting a professionally designed backdrop can really make a difference, so invest in one if you can. You can also consider renting a photo booth from a professional, putting together your own custom backdrop, or perhaps asking your friends and family for recommendations if they have experience in this topic.
5. Have a Theme
Your photo booth should have a theme, whether that’s a certain era, style, or genre. Choose costumes, props, designs, and backdrops that correspond with the theme and give your guests something to talk about.
6. Booze and Snacks
You don’t want people to get bored while waiting to take their photos, so make sure you provide enough drinks and snacks to keep everyone occupied. Make sure to cater to all diets so everyone can enjoy something.
7. A Bit of Music
Music is a great way to create a lively atmosphere, get people in the mood, and ensure everyone is having fun. Make sure you also keep an eye out for music requests – if any, you can always adjust the playlist accordingly.
8. Take Advantage of Technology
Gone are the days when photo booths just allow users to take pictures. Technology has come a long way, so why not make use of it? Booths that allow users to send photos via social media, email, or even printing various sizes and shapes, are great for creating unique photo memories.
Creating a lasting and enjoyable Photo Booth experience is all about being creative, planning ahead of time, and ensuring that your guests are comfortable and having fun.
Although these tips will help you ensure a photo booth that lives up to its potential, they’re just a guideline—the only restrictions are the ones you put on yourself! Let your imagination lead you and create an experience that’s unforgettable!
