80’s Themed Party for Chris’ 50th

Themed parties are completely open to the imagination. No matter what you are celebrating, you can always count on a theme to bring your guests together and share a few laughs.

Themed birthday parties are always such a hit with all your guests. From dressing as your favourite superhero or movie star, to what you wanted to be when you grow up, themed parties will always be a great party starter between guests. At In the Booth, we attend so many themed parties and events and we absolutely love seeing what our guests get up to in the booth. Chris’ 80’s themed party was certainly no exception!

In the Booth Adelaide proudly attended Chris’ 80’s themed party for his 50th birthday party with our photo booth to capture all the fun.  Chris hosted his party at The Lion Hotel in North Adelaide and asked guests to dress in their best 80’s gear! We absolutely love the 80’s frocks and 3 piece suits. Some of the more adventurous guests even committed to a mullet for the evening! Guests dressed in themed costumes will always make for a great guest book as well! Theming parties in ‘eras’ is an easy way to get your guests involved in the themed costume party.

80’s Themed Party Photo Booth Hire

Chris opted to use our Guest Cam feature, video messaging and Gif for his party. We absolutely love the affect costume parties have in the booth. Guests jumping in the booth and posing ‘in character’ always make for great booth snaps. Chris opted for a gaming themed print design to match his 80’s themed party. Last but not least, Chris also treated his guests to a custom pink donut cake to celebrate his birthday.

Happy 50th birthday Chris! We hope you had an absolute blast in the booth and are enjoying all your rad memories!

Hewett Centre wedding for Brenton & Carly

ADELAIDE WEDDING VENUE

Hewett Centre Wedding in South Australia

A Hewett Centre wedding is a gorgeous way to spend a wedding day! This stunning wedding venue offers a beautiful function space to host your wedding and a lovely outdoor ceremony space amongst the gumtrees. Guests are lucky enough to soak up views of the Barossa Valley while enjoying canapes and getting the celebration started.

A function room offers so much flexibility for weddings and celebrations. A function room can be a blank canvas for your styling ideas and allow room to move in your budget. Seating plans can literally be anything you like! Likewise there is usually more options available in terms of catering and food options when you don’t have to adhere to a set menu. From in-house caterers to food trucks, your function space can ebb and flow with every celebration that passes through its doors.

After saying their ‘I Do’s’, Brenton and Carly’s guests moved into the Hewett Centre to continue the celebrations. Brenton and Carly chose to make the space their own. They decorated with light up letters spelling out the theme for the day – L.O.V.E. Our bride and groom also chose to gift their guests with custom love heart cookies for their bonbonniere. What a great gift to send your loved ones home with.

Carly was the most stunning bride opting for a white ball gown with lace details. Carly’s bridesmaids wore a soft champagne coloured dresses that were complimented by soft pink and white flowers. Brenton opted for an all-black dinner suit with groomsmen featuring a soft champagne pink tie to match the bridesmaids. We especially loved the natural greenery and native florals used to decorate the space and bouquets.

Brenton & Carly’s Wedding Reception at the Hewett Centre

As the night kicked on, everyone kicked up their heels and moved to the dance floor. That’s when the party really got started! Guests loved the entertainment of the ever classic ‘Shoe Game’. This is where the bride and groom answer questions about the each other not knowing what the other has chosen.

Brenton and Carly’s guests absolutely loved using our Guest Cam feature. Our lovely couple held an intimate wedding however that didn’t stop them snapping over one hundred Guest Cams! Thank you for booking with In the Booth Adelaide, Brenton and Carly! We hope you love looking back on the memories of loads of dancing, games and heartfelt speeches.
