The best features of Photo Booth accessories
If you're looking for photo booth supplies for sale, it's important to spend your money wisely. Here are a few features to look out for when buying props for the perfect photo:
- Quality
It can be tempting to buy in bulk, but you should always consider quality over quantity. In the long run, you want to get the most out of your photo booth props, so it's worth investing in better quality boards that can withstand many events.
- Size
Always look for photo booth prop boards that are not too big and not too small. You want to ensure that your prop boards can be read without taking up too much space.
It may be worth offering different sizes of props and experimenting to see which is most suitable
for different types of photo booths.
- Versatility
Versatile party props can help you get the most for your money. For example, you can find fun props for a wedding party that you can also use for a birthday or holiday event.
While it makes sense to have event-specific props, a more versatile selection can also help your business.
Here are a handful of photo booth ideas that can highlight your next event. From unique selfie props to popular wedding photo booth props -
this list should inspire you!
#1 Unique signs
You can never go wrong with photo booth signs. Custom or event-specific signs are great photo booth accessories for birthdays, weddings and more.
You can even find props to match or complement your wedding decor. For example, if your wedding colors are rose gold, you can bring wedding signs and props in this metallic hue to match the theme. This way you can create party photos that are fun, yet cohesive.
There's a wide selection of photo booth signage available, so you're sure to find a set that fits the bill,
that will appeal to a wide range of customers and events.
#2 Personalized Backgrounds
Your photo booth backdrop should be an essential element in your photo booth setup. Depending on the event, you may want to invest in something simple so that it doesn't distract from your guests or other props.
However, you can get creative with glitter, sparkles or even three-dimensional backgrounds such as amber walls. This is a great way to personalise your wedding photo booth or carry over a particular theme (such as a garden party).
#3 Confetti or balloons
With props like confetti or balloons, you can easily add more movement
to your photos. These unique accessories are fun for all ages,
and can capture candid moments of joy. Of course, confetti is something to keep in mind
cleaning. Although this accessory is fun, it can get messy and cannot be reused.
#4 Paper flowers
People can't get enough of paper flowers these days. From flower crowns and garden backdrops
to larger than life paper flowers, these accessories are the perfect combination of beautiful and whimsical for any occasion. Draw inspiration from an event's colour scheme or the birthday girl's favourite flowers to find the perfect floral accessories to turn party photos into splendour.
#5 Inspired by social media
Hashtags make it easy for guests to find and share photos from events, plus they give your business more visibility.
Make sure to bring plenty of social media inspired props to your next event to encourage sharing on popular platforms.
These props can include everything from fun, generic hashtags to
to more specific signs, shades, and more with custom hashtags.
#6 Sparkling delicacies
There's a reason why glittery props have become popular since photo booths became popular. Glitter and sparkle can look like a neutral (as they're often monochrome) while adding a little something extra.
You'll find a wide variety of glittery props, from signs, sunglasses, masks, hats and more, all of which add a classic, fun and cohesive look.
#7 Signs to write on
No DIY photo booth is complete without writable signs. From slate boards and chalkboards
to more creative picture frames or digital displays, these props are the way to go,
to further personalise your photo booth experience.
Guests can write funny or heartfelt messages, it really depends on their preference or
the theme of the event. Photos can be taken by guests, family members and newlyweds
will keep for years to come.
#8 Picture frames
The photo frame in the photo booth is a fun and easy play on a selfie prop. The unique picture frames
give photographers something to keep and can be personalised with different decorations,
patterns and text for unique events.
For example, you can place a custom wedding hashtag in your wedding party photo frame.
Or add your graduation year and school colours in the graduation photo booth.
#9 Music themed
Themed props are ideal for expanding your collection and appealing to a wide range of guests and events. Musically themed props such as inflatable or cut-out musical instruments, cool shades and hats can inspire guests to be silly and feed off the energy of the prop.
Keep the celebration or event in mind and tailor your theme props to the occasion or your client's passion. This can make the experience more fun and personal for all involved. Other theme props can include nautical, bohemian, sports, emojis, and glitter
and glitter, to name a few.
