Birthday Photo Booth Props and Backdrop Ideas to Try in 2022

Birthday parties happen every year and are a way of celebrating ‘YOU’, so why not make it unique and take your birthday decor to another new level of creativity and excitement with these birthday photo booth props and backdrops.

While you can take pictures with your smartphone cameras and DSLRs, birthday photo booths add an element of exclusivity to your event

If you have decided to arrange a birthday photo booth set up at your bash and are not sure which props and backdrops to add for additional excitement, then you have landed on the right page. 

In this post, we will share some creative backdrop and birthday prop ideas you can try for your upcoming birthday celebration in 2022. 

Props

Photo booths are incomplete without some creative props. 

To jazz up your photo booth experience, you can buy or rent different props easily, they will make taking pictures fun and make the day even more memorable – not just for you but for your visitors too.

Here are some creative birthday prop ideas you can try for your bash…

Personalized Polaroids 

Polaroids have been trending for the past decade and so and we don’t see them going out of fashion anytime soon. 

What we loved about polaroid frames is that you can easily customize them according to your preferences. For example, you can put your childhood photo or your most-loved family photo in that with some personalized writing or a message on top. 

You can go as creative as you want with your polaroid frames and display them in whatever manner you like. The choice is yours to make. 

Customized Props 

Besides customizable polaroid frames, you can also experiment with customized props. You can either choose to go with those available in the market or take a DIY route to create your very own personalized props. 

Here are some of the many ideas you can try…

Fun party hats

There are millions of ways you can personalize your basic hat to give it a feel of a birthday prop. Add stickers, stick feathers, or more. You can also play with different colors to match your photo booth hat with your birthday theme. 

Balloons

Another prop to add to your list is none other than balloons. The concept of balloons and birthday goes hand in hand. The best part? They add a splash of color to your photos too. 

Handmade props 

As mentioned above, you don’t always have to go with ready-made props. You can create your own if you have ample time or you’re planning a birthday on a budget. 

We always recommend going with props available in the market, though. That’s because they are usually inexpensive, you can buy them in bulk (which means they will look more consistent). Plus, you can save them for all the upcoming birthday parties you have on your list for the current year and beyond. 

Speaking of backdrops…

Backdrops

Just like props, backdrops/backgrounds are also an integral part of your overall photo booth decor. 

Similar to props, backdrops are also easily available everywhere – both online or locally in the market. 

Here’s what we have planned for our bash this year. You can also take a hint and experiment with a few options if you like.

Unique Patterned Curtains 

Curtains are a great addition to make backgrounds pop out in pictures. Different color combinations and themes will make your photo booth stand out. You can also customize them the way you like.

Customized Backdrops

When it comes to backgrounds, you can even order customized props or decorations according to your needs. The decoration can be customized according to your theme for just a few extra bucks. 

Do It Yourself (DIY)

What if your budget does not allow you to order or buy ready-made backdrops? Don’t worry as you can create your own without any difficulty. 

YouTube is loaded with DIY videos that teach viewers how they can craft their DIY photo booth backdrops – for not just birthdays but for any other event you can think of. 

Just follow your favorite video, buy a few essentials, and you’re all set. 

Wrap up

There are countless ways you can improve the photo booth experience for your guests. We shared a few options for you in this post to help you plan a wonderful event.
