PHOTO BOOTH PROP

Life Sized Cut Out Prop

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.

CHECK OUT OUR 2026 MAGAZINE!

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

Posted on 2026-03-052026-03-03 by In the Booth

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!

Made Right Here Campaign

Posted on 2026-02-052026-02-12 by In the Booth

BUY AUSTRALIAN MADE

Made Right Here Campaign

In the Booth are very proud to be a certified member of Australian Made. Our humble beginnings are like so many other Australian small business stories – it began in a garage! Our first photo booth was designed and built in Brisbane in 2008 and launched to the brand new photo booth hire industry in early 2009.

In an industry where 95% of photo booth equipment is imported from overseas, we’re very proud of our Australian born and bred roots. Photo booth machines were originally built to remain in one place; such as a passport photo location. In the Booth were instrumental in breaking the mould in what photo booths could be and become for the wedding and special event industries.

MADE RIGHT HERE CAMPAIGN

In the Booth proudly celebrates its Australian Made certification while championing the Made Right Here Campaign. This milestone reflects more than compliance. It represents commitment to local craftsmanship, innovation, and community support.

The Australian Made logo carries strong national recognition. Customers trust products displaying the green and gold kangaroo. Therefore, certification strengthens confidence in every In the Booth experience. It assures clients their photo booth technology is genuinely homegrown.

In the Booth designs and manufactures its booths in Brisbane, Australia. The team oversees production from concept to completion. This hands-on approach ensures consistent quality and supports skilled Australian jobs.

Additionally, local manufacturing allows tighter quality control. Technicians test each booth before deployment. Each component of our booths is replaceable, unlike the days of welded steel passport booths. As a result, clients receive reliable, updated equipment at every event.

Australian Owned & Made

The Made Right Here Campaign highlights businesses producing goods on Australian soil. It encourages consumers to support local makers. We’ve always been the company that doesn’t follow trends and does things a little different. We’re fully aware we started an industry where the majority of equipment is now imported. We achieve this simply by listening to Australian customers, not international manufacturers.

Moreover, the campaign showcases transparency in sourcing and production. In the Booth openly shares its manufacturing journey in regards to our Australian Made certification. It differentiates the brand in a competitive and repetitive market. The certification also strengthens partnerships with venues and planners. Industry professionals value Australian Made suppliers in a workspace drowning in Anko, Shein and Temu.

We’re big on investing in other local Australian suppliers for our manufacturing equipment. We love that in turn Australian manufacturing also supports other small Australian business. Local manufacturing fuels ongoing innovation and we can do so without off-shore delays. We trial quickly and when proven, launch rapidly! When you work local there’s no need to wait or pay for offshore delivery.

The service and event industry is not easily outsourced offshore. Until we’re living in a Wall-E style world where celebrations cease to exist in reality, our photo booths have a home. We have real people in our booths each week and we hire real Australians to deliver that experience.

Look for the Australian Made logo or the brand new ‘Made Right Here’ campaign wherever you shop. In the Booth and Australian small business appreciate your support!

Welcome to Bridal Showcase Season!

2026 BRIDAL SHOWCASE SCHEDULE

Welcome to 2026!

After a well-earned breather, In the Booth has returned to the office for 2026. Honestly, it feels so good to say that out loud. We took the opportunity to rest up and recharge with our families and now it’s time to jump back in with fresh energy. As a result, we’re kicking off the year ready to connect, create, and celebrate with couples all over again at a busy schedule of Bridal Showcases!

First and foremost, 2026 marks a return to full momentum. We’re back behind the screens answering enquiries and fine-tuning photo booths that got a work out over the busy months. More importantly, we’re stepping into the new year with intention. This is the time we refine our approach so every couple feels supported from first enquiry to their USB folio.

ENQUIRE NOW!

At the same time, we’re thrilled to confirm our attendance at bridal showcase days over the imminent months. These events play a huge role in how we connect with couples, venues, and fellow suppliers. Of course they allow us to showcase our photo booths in person. In addition they also give you the chance to experience the quality, styling, and fun for yourself. In other words, nothing beats seeing it live.

So let’s get this party started!

A bridal showcase is the perfect starting point if you’re newly engaged. You can meet suppliers face-to-face, ask real questions, and compare options in one place. Meanwhile, our venue open days offer something a little different. They allow you to picture your wedding in an actual space while discovering how a photo booth fits seamlessly into the celebration. As a bonus, they’re relaxed, informative, and full of inspiration.

To keep everything simple, we’re sharing all confirmed dates and details via our socials. Therefore, if you’re planning a wedding in 2026 or beyond, we highly recommend following along there on Facebook or Instagram. It’s the easiest way to stay in the loop of where our teams across the country will be popping up.

As we return to the office, we’re also leaning into what we do best: creating memorable, stress-free photo booth experiences. Our focus is on seamless delivery, friendly attendants and prints your guests actually want to keep. Because of that, our booths don’t just entertain — they truly add to the atmosphere and keep the “kids” busy!

Looking ahead, 2026 already feels exciting. Between bridal showcase season and a growing list of bookings, the year is shaping up to be one of our busiest yet. However, we wouldn’t have it any other way. We love being part of your celebrations, and we’re grateful to keep doing what we love.

So, whether you’re just starting to plan or finalising the details, now is the perfect time to reconnect with In the Booth. Follow our Facebook events, come say hello at an expo, and let’s make 2026 one to remember.

Brett & Katelyn’s Sirromet Mount Cotton Wedding

From vine-covered hills to tranquil lakeside views, every corner of Sirromet tells a story.

At the heart of the venue lies a collection of versatile spaces designed to host weddings of all sizes. Couples can exchange vows in a charming open-air setting combined with the sophistication of an indoor reception. In addition, Sirromet’s award-winning wines and gourmet cuisine elevate each celebration into a truly memorable experience. Guests enjoy world-class hospitality, and every detail reflects a commitment to quality and care. Because the estate sits just a short drive from Brisbane and the Gold Coast, it provides the perfect balance between convenience and seclusion.

Furthermore, Sirromet Mount Cotton caters to diverse wedding styles. Whether couples dream of an intimate gathering or a grand affair, the venue adapts with ease. Dedicated preferred suppliers (like In the Booth Brisbane!) ensure their vision comes to life effortlessly.

With sweeping views, premium wines, and an atmosphere of timeless beauty, weddings at Mt Cotton’s iconic winery leave a lasting impression. It’s been our pleasure to attend functions of all kinds at Sirromet for many years.

VISIT SIRROMET WINERY

Brett and Katelyn’s winter wedding at Sirromet Winery was the perfect mix of elegance and fun. Choosing the Barrel Hall as their reception space, the couple celebrated surrounded by the rustic charm of timber wine barrels and warm candlelight. The Hall’s rich textures created an inviting atmosphere that paired beautifully with their seasonal styling. Guests immediately felt the romance of the day while still knowing a lively celebration was ahead.

The ceremony embraced the natural beauty of Sirromet’s estate. After exchanging vows, Brett and Katelyn joined their photographer outdoors to capture timeless images. Because winter light has a soft glow, the photographs among the rows of lavender and the odd wallaby appeared especially magical. The purple blooms contrasted against the cool season sky, giving the couple’s portraits an extra sense of depth and romance. These images highlighted not only the couple’s connection but also the charm of Sirromet’s grounds during the cooler months.

Shaun & Katelyn’s Wedding at Sirromet Mount Cotton

As the evening unfolded, Katelyn made a stylish change. She swapped her flowing wedding gown for a playful reception dress that allowed her to dance with ease. This moment surprised guests and set the tone for the night’s celebrations. Brett, of course, couldn’t stop smiling as his bride twirled across the dance floor in her new look. Moreover, the couple had prepared a fun surprise for their guests—light up foam sticks. As soon as the DJ turned up the music, the sticks lit the Barrel Hall in bursts of glowing colour. Consequently, the dance floor became an energetic and unforgettable highlight of the evening alongside the photo booth of course!

In addition, the winery’s renowned food and wine service ensured every guest enjoyed the reception. Plates of gourmet seasonal dishes paired perfectly with Sirromet’s award-winning wines, creating an experience that blended fine dining with heartfelt celebration. The couple’s attention to detail, from décor to entertainment, meant every moment flowed seamlessly. Brett and Katelyn selected our classic Traditional print style which never ceases to be popular with our classically styled weddings. Our Black Glitter backdrop gives a hint of sparkle without overbearing the guests themselves in the booth.

Ultimately, Brett and Katelyn’s winter wedding showcased exactly why Sirromet Winery is one of Mt Cotton’s most beloved venues. With a ceremony framed by natural beauty, photos among lavender fields, a warm and rustic Barrel Hall reception, and an unforgettable party atmosphere, the day reflected their personalities perfectly. Friends and family left with glowing memories, while the couple began married life surrounded by love, laughter, and some awesome dance moves!

A note from the Bride…

Sirromet Winery Brisbane Wedding

“Our wedding theme was based around the winery and how that felt to us, including deep earthy tones like the bridesmaids dresses. The most important part of the day was celebrating our love with our favourite people, nothing else mattered”.

Event Hire Enquiry Tips

Posted on 2025-08-282025-08-27 by In the Booth

EVENT PLANNING TIPS

Event Hire Enquiry Tips

We’ve been in the event hire game for a while now, so we’ve seen an enquiry or two! We receive everything from no contact details to no date and everything in between. Your event suppliers are here to help but help us to help you! We want to get you the information you need as quickly as possible. We’ve put together the below tips when it’s time to shoot off some enquiries for your next celebration.

ENQUIRE WITH US NOW!

Leave enough time

Leave enough time for your event hire enquiry to take shape without stress. You’re going to want to enquire with multiple businesses. It will take time to research, plan and narrow down your enquiry list. Then you’ll need to wait for those businesses to get back you. All the while, time is ticking away! Enquiring two weeks before your event date doesn’t mean it can’t be done but it will absolutely raise your stress levels. Special events require designated planning time. Look ahead and decide on your date with plenty of time to spare. Enquire and book early for a stress-free event is our motto!

Fill in ALL the enquiry fields

Suppliers design their event hire enquiry forms with those fields for a reason! If they have a field on their enquiry form, it means they need that information to be able to accurately prepare your quote. Some might seem obvious such as the date and location. However your contact details such as your phone number are just as integral. If your email bounces back, how will the supplier contact you to let you know without your phone number? If there’s a comments section, add additional information or ask your list of questions. This will help the supplier save time with providing all the information you need in one handy email.

Have a realistic budget

It’s perfectly normal for you to need to make an event hire enquiry before the supplier advises pricing. Every event is different from the location to the timeframe to the specifics. Comments such as “don’t want it to cost an arm and a leg” are not helpful and also not descriptive – for example, what is an arm and a leg worth to you?! Clearly lay out your requirements with your enquiry so the supplier can provide you an accurate and detailed quote. If it’s out of your budget, that’s fine. In every market there is a Ferrari and a Ford Festiva. Each one is perfect for it’s perfect customer. Be respectful of both Ford and Ferrari in your marketplace!

Reply – even if it’s a no thank you!

This is a big one and we know our fellow suppliers are cheering from the back! Ghosting your suppliers is immensely frustrating. The majority of wedding and event suppliers are small businesses. Trust us, we’re used to hearing “no”! Any supplier worth their salt and enquiries would rather receive a polite no thank you than nothing at all. The supplier took the time to reply to your enquiry and quote – to thank them in return, just reply to update them on your enquiry status. Whether you’re ready to book straight away or in six months or not at all, just reply with your update. You’ll make a lot of small Australian business owners very happy!

Book early(ish)

There’s lots of bills coming in and budgets to manage, we get it. However booking last minute is just a revisit of enquiring last minute. It adds a lot of stress to both yourself and your suppliers. Your options may now be. more limited because of the shorter timeframe. In short, if you know you’re going to book a supplier, just book them. ‘Waiting it out’ is rarely a good method as you’re also risking the service not being available anymore. Booking early let’s you enjoy the process of planning an event with a professional. You’ll have time to see things in person at a showcase and have fun planning out the smaller details with time on your side.

Complete pre-event details promptly

Your suppliers will be waiting on decisions from you before they can move ahead with preparations. Take special note of any deadlines and be respectful of them. The deadlines exist to care for you and your event. Suppliers will be making special orders and those suppliers have cut offs. Imagine being told you can’t have the flowers of your choice because you simply missed a deadline! Set reminders for yourself to ensure everything is completed pronto. Return supplier calls – trust us, they won’t bother you without good reason! The closer you get to your celebration the less time you will have and that goes for your suppliers as well.

Father’s Day Photobooth

Posted on 2025-08-212025-08-20 by In the Booth

FATHER’S DAY 2025

Father’s Day Photobooth Hire

A Father’s Day photobooth session is the perfect chance to slow down, celebrate, and create memories with the man who means so much to you. While gifts and family meals always play a big part in the day, nothing captures the spirit of the celebration quite like a Father’s Day photobooth. A photo booth brings families together, sparks laughter, and provides a keepsake that lasts long after the day ends.

CHECK OUT SOME SAMPLES

Why a Father’s Day Photobooth is Special

Year after year, families look forward to adding another photo booth memory to their Father’s Day collection. Much like a time capsule, a yearly photo shows how the kids have grown and the family has evolved. Unlike posed studio portraits, a photobooth captures candid expressions and genuine moments. Dads, who can sometimes be camera-shy, rarely resist the fun of a booth. Dad becomes part of the memory rather than as all too often standing behind the camera!

Building a Collection of Father’s Day Memories

One of the most rewarding traditions families start with a Father’s Day photobooth is creating a yearly photo series. Each image acts as a timestamp, a snapshot of that particular year. Children may be missing teeth one year, taller than Dad the next, and grown with their own families years later. Through it all, the photos tell a story of love, laughter, and togetherness.

Transitioning from one year to the next, our customers often comment on how much they look forward to the booth. At events across the country, In the Booth attends many Father’s Day celebrations. Customers return excited to step back inside, knowing they’ll walk away with another memory to add to their growing collection. This consistency makes the booth more than just entertainment—it becomes part of the tradition itself.

Making Photos Fun for Dad

We all know dads aren’t always the easiest to photograph. Often, they prefer being behind the scenes rather than in front of the lens. However, when faced with the playful environment of a photo booth, even the most reluctant dad gets involved. The booth provides a relaxed, pressure-free setting where the focus is on fun rather than formality. Props, instant prints, and the chance to be silly take away any hesitation. As a result, families walk away with authentic photos that show Dad at his best—happy, relaxed, and enjoying time with loved ones.

A Gift that Keeps Giving

Another reason a Father’s Day photobooth is so meaningful lies in its lasting impact. While breakfast in bed or a new tie is appreciated, photos provide something different. They capture the day itself, allowing families to relive those feelings every time they flip through their collection. Printed strips slip easily into albums, frames, or even Father’s Day cards. Digital copies can be shared with relatives or saved for milestone celebrations later in life. In every format, the photo becomes a priceless reminder of the bond between family.

Father’s Day Events and Community Spirit

Across Australia, Father’s Day events bring communities together, and photo booths often sit at the heart of the action. In the Booth regularly partners with venues, schools, and local councils to deliver memorable experiences. Families gather not only to celebrate Dad but also to enjoy time together in a shared space. The booth becomes a gathering point where dads, mums, grandparents, and kids all pile in for a shot! Transitioning from one group to the next, the booth captures a tapestry of family connections that makes Father’s Day truly unique.

Create Your Tradition This Year

If you haven’t started your yearly tradition yet, Father’s Day is the perfect time to begin. Step inside a Father’s Day photobooth, pull Dad in (maybe against his will at first!) and capture the moment. Next year, you’ll be glad you did. Over time, the collection will grow into something irreplaceable—an album of smiles, silly faces, and heartfelt memories that tell your family’s story.

So this Father’s Day, don’t let the moments slip by. Celebrate with laughter, celebrate with love, and most importantly, celebrate with photos. Because no matter how many years pass, those photobooth memories will always remind you of just how special your Dad really is.

Barbie Themed Event Ideas

Posted on 2025-08-142025-08-06 by In the Booth

HI BARBIE!

Barbie Themed Event Ideas

Barbie has remained an icon of style, fun, and empowerment for generations. Therefore, it’s no surprise that Barbie-themed events have surged in popularity. Whether it’s a birthday party, a bridal shower, or a corporate event, a Barbie theme promises a vibrant atmosphere filled with nostalgia and glamour. However, creating the ultimate Barbie experience requires plenty of ideas for decorations, costumes, and of course, a splash of Barbie magic! Check out some of our favourite Barbie themed event ideas on today’s blog!

PARTY PHOTOBOOTH HIRE

Barbie Themed Event Decorating

To begin with, theming the event space is crucial. Pink, being Barbie’s signature colour, sets a foundation that will communicate the theme quickly to guests! Shades of pastel, hot pink, glittery silver, and classic white will elevate the space and make sure things aren’t TOO pink! For instance, a pink carpet entrance can instantly give guests the feeling of stepping into Barbie’s Dreamhouse. Additionally, balloon garlands in ombré pink hues can be used to frame photo booths, dessert tables, and entryways. A separate photo station for Guest Cam can be a great way to let inspiration run wild!

In the same vein, oversized props such as Barbie cars, fashion accessories, and even a “Malibu Beach” corner with inflatable palm trees will enhance the immersive experience. For indoor spaces, acrylic furniture, pink neon signs, and sequin tablecloths will maintain that chic Barbie vibe. Outdoors, consider setting up a poolside area with pink loungers and a Palm Springs vibe to transform the space into a Barbie summer getaway.

Barbie box effects are super fun in theory but don’t forget to consider your lighting for photos. A box creates a naturally dark environment that will cast shadows on guests’ faces. A photo booth with professional lighting can remove the risk of disappointment of low quality photos. You’ve also got the problem of all the photos ending up on guests’ mobile phones and trying to contact everyone for copies! With the booth, everything is taken care of and everything captured will be supplied to you safely in one of our beautiful USB folios. The booth creates it’s own ‘barbie Box’ effect with our hot pink or baby pink backdrop. Or maybe you’d like to off-set all the pink with some silver sparkles?

Barbie Themed Event Photo Booth

Of course, the event wouldn’t be complete without the perfect Barbie-inspired attire. Guests should be encouraged to dress in their best Barbie looks, which can range from glamorous to playful. Classic Barbie outfits such as the 1959 black-and-white swimsuit or the quintessential pink power suit are always crowd-pleasers. On the other hand, can you go wrong with Malibu Barbie, poolside ready in her bikini? The beauty of Barbie is that countless career personas present an opportunity for creative costumes. Guests could arrive as Astronaut Barbie or Doctor Barbie reflecting Barbie’s legacy of inspiring ambition in little girls worldwide. For group events, “Squad Goals” Barbie themes allow friends to coordinate matching outfits. Pink workout gear for Fitness Barbie or glittering gowns for Hollywood Barbie come to mind!

Let’s not forget Ken – after all, he is Ken-ough! Ken-inspired outfits should not be overlooked. Hawaiian shirts, pastel polos, or retro roller-skating looks will provide a playful twist for male guests.

Props are where the Barbie theme comes even more alive and fun. Glittering tiaras, oversized costume jewellery, and custom name necklaces will complete the Barbie look. Additionally, themed props such as toy microphones and plastic hairbrushes can be provided at the entrance to encourage playful interactions throughout the event. We loved the addition of Barbie themed visors for guests at the above event!

Barbie Themed Event Activities

While décor and costumes are essential, interactive experiences will keep guests engaged. For example, a Barbie-themed beauty bar offering pink nail polish, glitter tattoos, or hair styling stations can be set up. Likewise, a DIY Barbie fashion workshop, where guests decorate miniature Barbie outfits or design doll-sized accessories, brings out everyone’s inner fashionista.

To tie everything together, the food and drinks menu should reflect the theme. Pink lemonade served in champagne flutes, cotton candy towers, and Barbie silhouette cookies will be visually stunning and on-brand. Meanwhile, signature cocktails with fun names like “Malibu Barbie Martini” or “Dreamhouse Spritz” will keep the adults entertained.

In conclusion, a Barbie-themed event provides endless possibilities for creativity, nostalgia, and fun. By thoughtfully designing the space with vibrant décor and interactive experiences, your event is sure to be an unforgettable “Barbie World” celebration. From pink backdrops to stylish outfits, every detail contributes to a glamorous experience that Barbie herself would surely approve of.

ABIA DESIGNER OF DREAMS

ABIA Designer of Dreams 2025

We are thrilled to announce that In the Booth QLD has been awarded the 2025 ABIA Photo Booth Designer of Dreams title! In addition, the In the Booth SA and NSW teams took out 2nd and 3rd place! To say we are all thrilled would be an understatement. This incredible recognition is a true reflection of the hard work and dedication that our team pours into every single event. An award on it’s own is just a thing on a shelf. It simply wouldn’t be been possible without the dedicated support of our amazing team and their families.

2025 DESIGNER OF DREAMS AWARDS RESULTS

What are the ABIA Designer of Dreams awards?

The ABIA Designer of Dreams Awards are among the highest honours in the Australian wedding industry. Unlike other awards, the Designer of Dreams is not judged by a single event or a panel of experts. Instead, it is awarded based on years of consistent excellence. ABIA gathers thousands of reviews from real couples who have experienced a vendor’s service first-hand. Vendors must maintain exceptional ratings across various categories such as quality of product, customer service, attention to detail, and overall value. In short, the Designer of Dreams title celebrates businesses that not only meet but continually exceed expectations, year after year. We are blown away to have our QLD, SA and NSW teams walk away with a podium finish for 2025.

For In the Booth, this journey has been more than just about photo booths. It has been about creating unforgettable experiences, preserving memories, and adding joy to milestone celebrations. We believe a photo booth should be more than just a corner at a wedding. It should be a space where guests laugh, connect, and capture candid moments that will be cherished for a lifetime.

Winning this award is a direct result of the passion and dedication of our entire team. From our talented booth attendants who bring energy and professionalism to every event, to our behind-the-scenes planning team. Every person plays a vital role in delivering the In the Booth experience.

We also want to extend a heartfelt thank you to the families of our team. Your support, understanding, and encouragement are the backbone that allows us to deliver award-winning photo booth hire, weekend after weekend. The wedding industry demands long hours, late nights, and working when everyone else is celebrating. Your sacrifices do not go unnoticed, and this award is as much yours as it is ours.

There’s no ‘I’ in Team!

Furthermore, we are deeply grateful to the incredible network of wedding vendors we collaborate with. From wedding planners and florists to photographers and venue coordinators, your commitment to excellence pushes us to continually elevate our craft. Working alongside such talented professionals not only inspires us but also ensures that each couple’s special day is a seamless, beautiful celebration.

A special thank you must go to our wonderful couples who have taken the time to share their experiences with ABIA. Your kind words, thoughtful reviews, and honest feedback have been invaluable. Knowing that we’ve played a part in making your wedding day extra special is the greatest reward of all.

This award is not just a trophy; it represents our sixteen year long commitment to innovation, customer service, and event experiences. Moving forward, we are more motivated than ever to continue delivering exceptional photo booth experiences. With new designs, upgraded technology, and our signature old-school touch, we’re excited to see what the future holds.

To every couple, to every vendor who has shared a laugh and a rushed dinner with us behind the scenes, and to every team member who has gone the extra mile — thank you.

As we celebrate this milestone, we look forward to continuing to create moments of connection at weddings around Australia. Here’s to the next chapter of In the Booth and to thousands more memories captured!
