Tips for Setting Up a Photo Booth

Pick the Right Wall

Depending on what time you plan on having your holiday Find a room that has good lighting  and focus on using a wall in there for your back drop

Use a DIY Photo Booth Backdrop

Use a blanket, shower curtain or wrapping paper to create a back drop for your pictures. The Christmas tree is also a great focal point if you are using this at a holiday party.

 Make or Purchase Photo Booth Props

   Pick up Rudolph & Friends Pics ‘n’ Props Kit from Hallmark. Capture holiday memories with memorable photos using these 15 holiday props, including Rudolph with a glittery red nose.  If you are doing a Disney Theme we have DIY Photo Booth Props templates for A Disney Photo Booth. 

Make a Photo Booth Frame 

Some people just buy a large frame from a second hand store and spray paint it a fun color.  Or you could find a fun frame at Hobby Lobby but that will be more expensive.  You really don’t need props since your guests will use this as their prop. 

Set up a Camera

Set up a tripod and create the settings on your camera so anyone can step up behind and take the photo

Encourage Guests to Use The Photo Booth

To encourage participation, I asked each guest to take on shot with someone they knew and another shot with someone they just met at the party. I thought it was a great ice breaker.

Share Your Photos with Your Guests

Take a lot of photos and share them to your guests via a photo booth app or photo bucket or snapfish so they can download and print them on their own.
