Why use props in a photo booth?
PHOTO BOOTH PROP HISTORY
Ever wondered why photo booths and accessories seem to go hand in hand? Walk down memory lane with us for a little bit of photo booth history….
The early 1920’s saw the introduction of the first photo booths. The phenomenon of an instant photo was an instant hit with the masses (remember, this was before most people even owned a camera, let alone an iPhone!). The Gatsby era was in full swing! Picture theatres, entertainment arcades, milk bars and bowling alleys were all popular spots for a photo booth. If you research vintage photo booth images you’ll find stunning pictures of ladies in fur coats and retro glasses and gentlemen in bow ties with immaculately groomed moustaches.
Our sense of style may have changed, but the fun of dressing up for the photo booth certainly hasn’t! Preserving the beauty of timeless imagery is important to us. Consequently, we want your photo booth pictures to be timeless treasures in fifty years which is why we’ve created prop kits that relive a bygone era. We’ve left the cheap plastic and feathers behind so your photos won’t be.
Our props haven’t…been places.
CLASSIC….AND HYGIENIC
We take hygiene seriously and sanitise all props between events. It’s for this reason that we don’t provide hats or wigs (you don’t want to see what we’ve seen!) but you are more than welcome to supply your own if you wish, along with any other items you may have chosen to match your theme.
In any event, check out our Pinterest props board for some great ideas! Remember, when it comes to props, less is more and props or no props, your guests are going to have an awesome time!
Can I bring my own props?
Absolutely. We encourage it! Custom props are what really make the booth yours. Perhaps you have a specific item or theme that’s important to you. Your family and friends know you best – they’re sure to go to town with whatever themed props you provide and love every crazy moment!
What are some prop ideas?
We have seen literally EVERY theme in our photo booth travels and each one is unique. If you’re hosting a themed or dress up party, your work is done – your guests will bring along everything they need! Check out our Instagram for more great examples from our previous events!
Anything we should avoid?
Many venues won’t allow feather boas, glitter or confetti – you can probably figure out why! We’d recommend you avoid any reflective items and most things from the $2 shop. Keep your props unique, timeless and on theme and your photos will be amazing!
What if I don’t have props?
Don’t worry, your guests will have no trouble finding their own! From bouquets to balloons your guests will find items around your celebration to incorporate into their photos for even more photo booth fun. Your guests’ creativity will come out to play and you’ll reap the benefits in your photos.
