Photo Booths for Every Type of Kids Party Entertainment Hire
At Mad Hat Photo Booth, we provide photo booth entertainment for all kinds of birthdays — not just for kids. Whether you’re planning a themed birthday for a little one or a milestone celebration for someone special, we’ve got a setup to match.
Here’s a look at the types of birthday parties we love working at:
Themed Kids’ Birthday Parties
From fairytale princesses to jungle explorers, superheroes to space adventurers — we’ve styled photo booths for every kind of kids’ party. We can match your theme with props, backdrops, and even custom print designs to tie it all together.
18th, 21st and 30th Birthdays
These milestone birthdays deserve to be remembered. Our photo booths are perfect for capturing fun, laughter, and plenty of group shots with friends and family. Add a sparkly sequin backdrop or a glowing neon sign, and you’ve got a setup that everyone wants to be part of.
50th Birthdays and Beyond
Turning 50 is a major celebration — and a photo booth adds just the right amount of fun and flair. Whether you’re hosting a private dinner or a big party, our booths fit right in. We’ve also helped clients celebrate 40ths, 60ths, and even 70th birthdays with style. Guests love taking photos home as keepsakes, and you get a full digital gallery to remember the occasion.
Retro-Themed and Fancy Dress Parties
If you’re throwing a throwback party, we’re here for it. Think 70s disco, 80s glam, or 90s neon — we’ll help you match your booth setup with the look and feel of your theme. Our Retro booth is especially popular for vintage-style birthdays, offering a modern photo experience with classic styling.
No matter the age or theme, a photo booth adds a vibrant and interactive element to any celebration. Let us help you create something unforgettable.
Props, Themes and Interactive AI Filters
Every child is different, so why not match your entertainment to their favourite theme? From unicorns and jungle explorers to superheroes and princesses, our photo booth can be styled to suit your party perfectly.
For an added wow-factor, we offer AI-powered filters that transform children into cartoon characters, animals or fantasy figures, right on screen. It’s a modern twist on traditional entertainment and always a hit with guests.

Sparkly Sequin Backdrops and Neon Signs
Our sparkly sequin backdrops are always a hit with children and parents alike. They bring a touch of shimmer and fun that instantly transforms your party space — perfect if you’re looking to add a bit of magic to your child’s birthday celebration.
We offer a variety of colourful and themed backdrops, all designed to look amazing in photos. You can browse our full range of photo booth backdrops here.
To complete the look, you can also hire a glowing “Happy Birthday” neon sign, or even order a custom neon sign with your child’s name or party message. It’s a simple upgrade that adds personality and charm. Find out more on our Custom Neon Sign Hire page.
