Not all photo booths are the same. There are different types of photo booths out there, such as classic photo booths, open-air photo booths, GIF maker photo booths, and so on. Therefore, before making the final decision, you must carefully research these types of photo booths and whether they’re relevant to your holiday feast.

Whichever type of photo booth you go for, you must choose one that captures photos automatically and also prints them immediately, so that everyone can take them home.

Do: Choose an easily accessible location for the photobooth

You must be wise when it comes to deciding where you’ll be placing your Halloween photo booth. Choose an area where it is easily accessible for guests and other individuals. The area should also be open, in case the photo booth area gets too crowded with people.

Moreover, don’t forget to accommodate physically challenged individuals. They wouldn’t want to miss the photo booth fun, as well as miss out on memorable pictures, right? 

Then you should be sure to keep enough area to bring in a wheelchair easily and have almost every guest and family member participate in this photo booth this Halloween.

Do: Have a variety of props

You must work on your props, and try to have numerous of them to choose from. Because there are going to be different guests and individuals with unique tastes and preferences wanting to take pictures in the photo booth with props, you must have different types of props laid out for them.

This doesn’t mean you overdo them. But, because it’s Halloween, the scarier and crazier you look, the better! So, search up some good Halloween props ideas over the internet, and get started! We’d say go for scary eye masks, face masks, witch hats, faux fur, placards, and other scary and thrilling accessories.

Do: Print out instructions for your photo booth

You might be thinking a photo booth is easy and intuitive to use, and even a child can use it without any assistance. However, as mentioned earlier, not all photo booths are the same. 

Halloween is all about custom clothing, lots of candies, and different party supplies. If you’re having a horror Halloween party this year, then you will love our Halloween photo booth props and prop signs.

Some are able to capture 4 pictures in one reel, and some only one. Therefore, you must have step-by-step instructions printed out, and then paste it where the guests can see inside the photo booth.

Don’t: Don’t forget the backdrop

What is a photo booth without a backdrop? 

Without a proper backdrop, the result of the quality of the pictures won’t be too satisfactory. Therefore, you must not forget a backdrop for your Halloween photo booth, and you must make sure it compliments your entire festive event. 

A backdrop that is see-through or vinyl won’t be able to produce great pictures. You wouldn’t want pictures with other people coming in the background, now do you?

What we advise you to use as a backdrop is a blank wall. You won’t really have to spend much as a blank colored wall will instantly make the pictures pop. 

A simple black wall is a classic and most widely used color for backdrops. Also, white walls would do the job quite well too, as well as stone/brick walls if you’re looking to add some texture in the background. 

Now, because it’s Halloween, you can go all out in the background by decorating your wall backdrop with fringe curtains, drapes, scary accessories and props, and much more. Now is the time to show your creativity to everyone!

Don’t: Don’t think you don’t need a photo booth

Thinking of skipping a photo booth this Halloween? You will definitely regret it later on.

These holiday festivities are there for a reason- to bring everyone to one place and make memories. So, why not hold onto these memories with pictures? 

With smartphones and other devices replacing traditional cameras, we really don’t feel the need of getting pictures taken from our phones. 

A photo booth is a great idea to take pictures with all your close friends and family and to make your entire Halloween this year memorable. With crazy and exciting props for your photo booth, this will definitely be the center of your Halloween decorations!
