How is it that 2024 has come to a close? It’s been another awesome end of year season with school formals for 2024 graduates rolling into Christmas parties. It’s always a high energy way to finish off the year and we love it!

Our formal season was a particularly busy one with many returning customers and some new schools adding our booths to their celebrations as well. We’re hearing from customers that it can be quite difficult to confirm reservations for venue and services. This is due to the high peak of formals happening right when students complete Year Twelve. Our only suggestion to avoid this stress is book early! Our most organised return customers either book immediately after the previous year formal happens or first thing when school returns.

The compounding issue is also that there are only a small amount of venues large enough to seat an entire cohort, plus partners and in some cases, parents. Research large capacity venues in your area early and get one booked in! Another suggestion is to look at hosting the formal on a Monday or Tuesday evening, which are traditionally less popular than Wednesday through Friday.

When it comes to Christmas parties, anything goes! We’ve had some super fun themes this year which you’ll see from the prints below. We love that customers often go outside the traditional Christmas theme and incorporate anything and everything into their holiday celebrations. Any excuse for a fun theme we say! Working in with our customer’s ideas and themes is one of our favourites things to do.

As we close our 2024 photobooth hire trading, 2025 is looking bigger and better than ever. We have some product refinements on the cards as we constantly seek to make a better experience for our customers. 2025 is also In the Booth’s ‘Sweet Sixteenth’ birthday which is one to look forward to!

A peaceful, blessed and very merry Christmas to those on the road alongside us. As a small business, we simply would not be here without your support.

Christmas Party 2024 Wrap Up!

Posted on 2024-12-122024-12-16 by In the Booth

It’s Christmas party time! The team at In the Booth looks forward to late November and the six week onslaught of Christmas parties! It’s a great time to look back on the year that’s been and catch up with some of our awesome customers who rebook with us every year. It’s an honour to receive Christmas party enquiries with our customers stating “the staff have demanded In the Booth come back again!”. This is not a privilege we take lightly!

In addition Christmas party season brings with it all the creativity and fun of festive season themes. We see everything from traditional Christmas colours to themes that add a yuletide twist! Our glitter backdrop range certainly gets a workout during the festive season. We love when our clients see the end result of their custom options all come together in the magic of their instant prints.

Our return customers tells us that nothing breaks the ice at corporate get togethers like the booth. It can be challenging to find activities that appeal to workplaces of all ages and backgrounds. In this day and age everyone understands a photobooth = fun! You’ll find tables and departments mixing like nowhere else! Even the photobooth queue is an awesome environment. With nothing to do but stand in line, you’ll find co-workers chatting away like they haven’t seen each other all year!

It can be near on impossible to find an appropriate guest gift for company functions. After all, how many pens do they need?! Photo booth prints are one of those unique souvenirs that don’t get thrown away. We have customers collecting their Christmas party prints for years! It makes for a great company history to look back on.

Closing 2024 with a big Christmas Party thank you!

Finally, thank you to all our amazing corporate customers for 2024! We’ve had an awesome timing boothing it up with you this year. To our small business customers especially, we are so thankful for your custom. From one small business to another, Merry Christmas!

+1 Party Ideas

+1 Party Ideas

+1 party ideas are on the rise! Have you heard about this theme? Traditionally a +1 meant to bring along a guest of your choice. Essentially this still remains to be true! However today when we’re talking about +1party ideas we’re talking about milestone birthdays. A +1 party is for the boys and girls who may be struggling a little with rounding up their age! For example, 29+1 for a 30^th birthday; 39+1 for a 40^th birthday and on it goes. We’ve all been to countless milestone birthday parties – but if you’re looking for a unique theme a +1 party may be right for you!

Milestone birthday themes are readily available. Why not shake it up by hosting a plus one party instead? There are plenty of resources on sites like Pinterest to get the creative party planning juices flowing.

Jodie did just that when looking at +1 party ideas for her Karratha celebration. We’re sure you can all agree from the photos that this is one party we’d all like to be at! Jodie put so much through into the details for her event. As well as the plus one theme there was also a super fun pink dress code!

+1 Party Ideas in Karratha!

Guests were treated with custom made sunglasses and Yellowglen Pink on arrival. A bluebird Karratha day was ordered in advance which made this indoor/outdoor celebration all the more stunning!

A gorgeous pink themed balloon backdrop was a popular location for heaps of Guest Cam photos. We thought Jodie’s choice of our Rainbow Confetti design for her booth prints was a perfect match! Dancing and speeches were all part of the festivities. Guests’ bright outfits popped against the classic back backdrop. Last but not least, how fun are those flamingo head bands?!

Thanks for having In the Booth Karratha along to help celebrate Jodie! Hope to see you all again at your 49+1!
