If you want your reception to feel unforgettable, add a life sized cut out to your photo booth setup. These bold props instantly grab attention. They spark conversation, create laughter, and give guests something interactive to pose with. Best of all, they just look awesome in photo booth photos!

In the Booth’s 2026 magazine features Brenda and Joel’s wedding as our cover! The highlight? A life sized cut out of Taylor Swift standing proudly beside the booth “Taylor Swift” as a guest at their wedding! Naturally, guests lined up all night to snap photos with “Taylor.” Even better, the cut out matched the couple’s playlist perfectly. As a result, their photo booth gallery felt cohesive, fun, and completely personal.

So, how can you use life sized cut outs at your own wedding? Let’s break it down.

Why a Life Sized Cut Out Works So Well

Firstly, they create an instant focal point. When guests walk into your reception, they’ll immediately notice a familiar face. “”Bob, is that you?!” From a celebrity to an overseas guests who unfortunately can’t attend, a life size cut out creates a super fun “guest” of honour.

Secondly, they suit any theme. For example, you might choose a favourite relative, a movie character, or even a custom cut out of your pet. Or put the focus fully on the reason for being there and select an engagement photo of yourselves. Alternatively, go full pop culture and channel Brenda and Joel’s Swifty-inspired celebration.

Additionally, they encourage shy guests to loosen up. Instead of awkward poses, people interact with the cut out. They hug it. They’ll kiss it. They pretend to sing into a microphone beside it. Therefore, your photo booth prints capture genuine personality and so.much.fun.

Finally, they elevate your theme. A life sized cut out adds that perfect point of difference. All your real guests are sure to get a chuckle out of your special guest addition.

DIY: How to Make Your Own Life Sized Cut Out

If you love a hands-on project, you can absolutely create a life sized cut out yourself. Follow these simple steps.

Step 1: Choose Your Image

Select a high-resolution photo. Make sure the subject stands upright and remains fully visible. The clearer the image, the sharper the final result.

Step 2: Remove the Background

Use an online background removal tool or editing software. Carefully refine the edges around hair and clothing. This step makes your cut out look professional.

Step 3: Resize to Life Scale

Adjust the image height to match real-life proportions. Most adults range between 160cm and 185cm tall. Therefore, confirm your measurements before printing.

Step 4: Print in Large Format

Upload your file to a large format printing service. Request thick poster paper or adhesive vinyl. If possible, choose matte finishing to reduce glare in photos.

Step 5: Mount to Foam Board

Adhere the print to sturdy foam board or corflute. Smooth out bubbles as you press it down. Then, trim around the outline carefully using a craft knife.

Step 6: Add Support

Attach a cardboard easel stand to the back. Alternatively, secure a timber brace for extra stability. This ensures the cut out stays upright throughout the reception.

Step 7: Transport and Protect

Wrap the cut out in protective plastic during transport. Once at your venue, position it beside your photo booth with enough space for group shots.

Bringing It All Together

Ultimately, a life sized cut out transforms your photo booth from simple entertainment into a statement feature. The ideal photo booth prop invites creativity and that’s exactly what a life size cut out will do. It encourages interaction. Most importantly, it creates hilarious photos and videos from the booth as well as popping up on Guest Cam.

Brenda and Joel proved that one well-chosen prop can define the night. Their Taylor Swift cut out didn’t just decorate the space. It became part of the celebration. We guarantee their guests are still talking about “her”!

Last but not least, whether you choose a pop icon, a beloved pet, or yourselves in superstar form, don’t underestimate the power of going larger than life with your life sized cut out props!

Branded Photobooth Hire

BRANDED PHOTOBOOTH HIRE

Turn your event into a marketing moment

If you want guests to engage with your brand, you need more than a logo on a pull-up banner. You need an experience. That’s exactly why branded photobooth hire has become a powerful tool for modern marketing campaigns. Instead of handing out flyers that end up in the bin, our booths help create shareable moments people actually want to take part in.

At In the Booth, we transform photo booths into fully customised brand activations. As a result, your audience doesn’t just see your brand — they actually interact with it.

Why Branded Photobooth Hire Works

Firstly, people love taking photos. Secondly, they love sharing them. It’s a match made in marketing heaven. Therefore, when you combine entertainment with branding, you instantly increase exposure.

Branded photobooth hire allows you to place your logo, colours, slogans, and your campaign messaging directly onto instant prints, our touch screen and of course the booth itself. Consequently, every printed strip and every shared image becomes a mini advertisement.

Moreover, guests don’t feel like they are being marketed to. Instead, they feel like they are part of something fun and interactive. That emotional connection strengthens brand recall long after the event ends.

In addition, branded booths create organic reach. When guests share their photos on social media, they amplify your campaign without additional ad spend. So while your activation may last a few hours, its impact can continue for weeks. Our instant prints don’t get thrown out – they’re treasured.

Custom Branding That Stands Out

At In the Booth, we customise every element of your activation. For example, you can wrap the booth in full vinyl branding to match your campaign visuals. You can also design bespoke print designs that feature your logo and brand message. As a result, your brand remains front and centre from start to finish.

If you are launching a product, you can incorporate campaign messaging directly into the prints. Alternatively, you can use seasonal themes that align with a broader marketing push. Either way, branded photobooth hire keeps your message consistent across every touchpoint.

Most importantly, the experience still feels effortless for your guests. They simply step in, pose, and share and are naturally engaged in the experience because they’re sharing with friends. Meanwhile, your brand gains maximum exposure.

Boost Engagement at Brand Activations

Brand activations need energy. They need movement. Above all, they need interaction. A branded photo booth draws people using all those things!

For instance, at shopping centre promotions, a booth creates a visible focal point. People see others laughing and posing, so they join the queue. As a result, foot traffic increases around your activation space. We’ve all seen those boring stands with equally bored promotion staff. Add a photo booth and boredom vanishes!

Similarly, at corporate events or expos, branded photobooth hire helps you stand out among competitors. Instead of relying on brochures alone, you offer an experience. Consequently, attendees remember your stand long after the event ends.

Additionally, booths encourage repeat engagement. Guests often return for a second or third photo. Each time, they interact with your brand again. That repetition reinforces your message without feeling repetitive – after all, your guests want to be there!

Let our Booth Make Your Brand the Star!

Ultimately, marketing works best when it feels natural. Branded photobooth hire blends entertainment with strategy. Instead of pushing a message into guests’ faces, it’s printed into their waiting hands!

At In the Booth, we help businesses transform ordinary events into memorable brand moments. Whether you are planning a product launch, retail promotion, festival activation, or corporate function, a branded booth always delivers with impact. Instead of hoping they remember, give them an experience we guarantee they won’t forget!
