Birthday Party Photo Booth Entertainment | Cotswolds, Gloucester and Surroundings
A birthday photo booth has become an increasingly popular addition to birthday parties in recent years.
Want to make it big will all the bells and whistles?
They provide a fun and interactive way for guests to capture memories of the event, and they also serve as a great entertainment feature during the party.
If you’re thinking about hiring a photo booth for your upcoming birthday celebration, here are some things to consider.
Types of Birthday Party Photo Booths
The first thing to consider is what type of photo booth you want to hire. There are a few different options available:
-
Enclosed photo booths
are the traditional type of photo booth that you may be familiar with. They are fully enclosed and often have curtains or doors to provide privacy. However, they are more fitted for 1-2 people inside, with a very plain background and the quality of the image you’d be getting is not the best, to say the least.
-
Open-air photo booths
are becoming increasingly popular. They consist of a backdrop and a camera setup, but there are no walls or enclosure.
This type of booth can fit more people in the frame and can accommodate larger groups of guests. you can also be much more creatives with props, the backdrop itself, personalisation and so forth.
They’re extremely flexible to the space around and can be adjusted to height as well. Everyone loves them and the wooden photo booth style in particular is by far the most popular. This is why we have decided to offer this type of vintage style photo booths and it’s been incredible to see how sought after they are.
Another great thing to mention here is that you would get a professional studio-type lighting and quality of the image and also really high quality of prints. This was one very important aspect for us, knowing that we can deliver a quality product as well as aesthetic and fun. -
Selfie stations
are a newer type of photo booth which are more modern looking. They are typically an iPad or tablet setup that allows guests to take photos of themselves using a selfie stick or tripod. This option is more cost-effective and space-efficient than traditional photo booths. However, the quality is also not at all the best and it’s pretty much as if you were shooting with your phone camera.
Features
When choosing a photo booth, there are several features to consider:
- Prints
One of the best things about a photo booth is the instant gratification of seeing your photos printed out right away. You could even provide a custom photo album for guests to place their printed photos in and add a message for the birthday person. Such a great keepsake to go through, even years after the event.
- Props
Adding props to your photo booth setup or hire, is just part of adding to the experience of your guests. There is such a variety of props out there and while you can absolutely have photo booth images without any props at all, we have seen over and over again how much people love to pose with fun wigs or crazy glasses.
- Digital copies
In addition to physical prints, many photo booth companies, like ours, also offer digital copies of the photos. This can be a great way for guests to easily share their photos on social media or with friends and family who couldn’t make it to the party. Given we also live in the age of social media and instant sharing, having digital copies from the birthday party is something you should expect when hiring a photo booth.
- Customization
One way to make your photo booth stand out is to customize it to fit the theme of your party. Consider adding themed props (like birthday party balloons, cardboard faces of the person who is celebrating, etc) , backdrops, and even custom photo strip designs. You could also include a sign or banner with the name of the birthday person and the date of the party. These personal touches can make your photo booth one-of-a-kind and create a memorable experience for your guests. You can see here some custom prints designs we offer to our clients, always included in any of the packages they choose.
