The Perfect Sparkly Gold Holiday Party Photo Booth Backdrop

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! We love partnering with organizations and companies on corporate holiday parties to help them celebrate their hardworking teams! They’re such a great way to gather people together, honor all of the accomplishments over the last year, and have some outside-of-work fun.

With so much of the world still working from home and connecting via zoom, a corporate holiday party is a perfect way to make face-to-face connections with your team. 

If you ask us, no corporate shindig is complete without a photo booth! Corporate events can accidentally tip-toe on being boring without the right planning. You can easily turn a stiff gathering into an all-out party when you break out the photo booth!

Here are some other ways to liven up corporate events:

  • Raffle off exciting prizes

  • Bring in a live band

  • Serve amazing food and drinks

  • Turn it into a trivia night

  • Bust out a karaoke machine

The sparkly gold photo booth backdrop is perfect for corporate holiday parties. We used it for the YPO holiday party recently and it was a stunner! We love how much fun the party-goers had with the Christmassy props too!

Looking for a different kind of sparkle? We also have sparkly silver, rose gold, black, navy, and purple backdrops! For a more casual look, you can go with our classic green or black backdrop. We can also use your logo to create a custom luxury backdrop for your holiday party.

Tropical Photo Booth Backdrop for TikTok Austin Employee Party

Surf’s up! Our blue ombre photo booth backdrop made a splash at the TikTok Austin employee party this summer!

The backdrop was perfect for the tropical-themed party, and the TikTok team had a blast with the beachy props. This whole party was absolutely unreal!

From a cornhole tournament to the DJ stylings of Brandon Williams, the official DJ for the Dallas Cowboys…TikTok knows how to throw an employee appreciation event!

The party was coordinated by The Ramsey and Company team, and they nailed it with the theme. Guests flipped for the bold summer decor, fun tropical drinks, and swag bags with sunglasses and leis. 

Our sister company, Pop & Drop, also got in on the party! They installed an epic streamer wall, balloon garland, and hanging streamers throughout the venue! Check out the recap blog on their site for more photos - we’re obsessed!

We also have to give a shout-out to all the amazing food and dessert vendors. The authentic Texas tacos from TacoMan512 were a huge hit, and how cute are the custom TikTok cookies from Hayley Cakes and Cookies?

All of the amazing vendors are listed below. A huge thank you to Allie Atkisson Imaging for the jaw-dropping photos!

We had a blast helping make the TikTok Austin employees feel appreciated for all their hard work, and we hope they had just as much fun in the booth. Want us to be part of your next epic office party? Contact us today about a custom photo booth rental in Austin!

Boxwood Wall Photo Booth for Brian and Davielle’s Wedding at the Four Seasons in Austin, TX

Our photo booth backdrops are like children: we love them all. But we also have to admit that there’s something extra special and romantic about the boxwood wall backdrop. It’s so fun to customize it with florals that match each event, and that’s precisely what we did for Brian and Davielle’s wedding at The Four Seasons in Austin, TX!

The boxwood wall backdrop complimented their elegant wedding perfectly, and it looks stunning with the florals and their custom last name sign. Thank you to Rebekah Paul Photography for capturing the booth!

Not only was this wedding elegant, but it was also an all-out party. The live band got everyone moving and grooving, and the couple even joined them on stage during the reception to rock out! 

The outdoor ceremony was also gorgeous. We love that they decorated the gorgeous Texas oak tree with more florals, and the bridesmaid neutral-toned dresses complimented the green scenery perfectly. 

The thing that sticks out the most to us in these photos is that you can tell that the bride and groom had a blast throughout their entire wedding day, which is all we wish for our couples! We’re always honored to be part of these meaningful moments with our clients.

Ready to rent your own dream photo booth for your wedding? The romantic boxwood wall is waiting for you! Contact us today to start planning your photo booth rental in Austin, TX.

Kaley and George’s Opulent Wedding at Addison Grove in Austin, Texas

Two questions: 1. Are you ready to be absolutely WOWED? And 2. Have you ever seen so many white roses in your life?!

We are absolutely swooning over Kaley’s and George’s opulent and romantic wedding at Addison Grove in Austin, Texas. This wedding pulled out all the stops. 

Not only was their breathtaking venue covered in flowers and greenery, but they also gave their guests an amazing experience with a champagne bar, a live band, and a fireworks show. Yeah, we said fireworks. Does it get more romantic than that?

Of course, we had to create a gorgeous photo booth to match the rest of their wedding, so we covered our boxwood greenery wall with more sprigs of greenery and white roses. The guests had an amazing time in this custom photo booth!

We have to shout out the other amazing vendors who made this wedding so gorgeous and memorable. Remi + Gold hit it out of the park with the sweeping florals! Unique Design and Events upped the romantic vibe with their stunning drapery, and of course, we can’t forget the rocking band, Grooveline Dallas

The rest of the incredible vendors are listed below, and we have Brittany Jean Photo to thank for the amazing pictures!

After an unforgettable night of dancing, drinks, and the fireworks show, the newlyweds left the venue in a luxury ride through a lane of sparklers.

We love being part of amazing events like this one and flexing our creative muscles with one-of-a-kind photo booths! Contact us today to talk about your event.

Unique High School Graduation Party Ideas

Graduation season is right around the corner, so it’s time to start planning graduation parties! If you have a high school senior in your house, the senioritis is probably intense right about now. They’re ready to say goodbye to high school and hello to their future, so you should throw them a send-off that celebrates this monumental moment!

After spending a majority of their high school career in virtual school, this class of high school students deserves an amazing shindig with all of their friends. Keep reading for our unique high school graduation party ideas!

Graduation Photo Booth

As the parent and event planner, you’ve got a lot to do on the day of the party. Leave the photography to the pros by renting a luxury photo booth for the whole day. Not only will you get amazing photos, but it also adds an activity that your party guests will love. 

Our selfie station is the perfect option for an Austin, Texas area graduation party. The printed photos are great keepsakes that your graduate and their friends can take to college with them! 

At Oh Happy Day Booth, we offer custom luxury backdrops and photo templates so that you can personalize your booth. For example, we can create a custom “Class of 2022” photo template. When it comes to unique high school graduation party ideas, the options are endless with a photo booth!

Honoree Trivia Game With Prizes

How well do your guests know your graduate? Test their knowledge with a trivia game, and make it more enticing with some sweet prizes. Since most of your guests will be your child’s classmates, center the trivia questions around their high school career.

Here are some ideas:

  • What was their favorite class?

  • Who was their favorite teacher?

  • What was their least favorite class?

  • Which elective did they really love?

  • Did they prefer exams or essays?

  • What was their least favorite cafeteria food?

For the prizes, gift cards are always a crowd-pleaser. What could make a Texas high schooler happier than a Whataburger gift card?

“Adulting Survival Kit” Party Favors

While your child is the guest of honor, they won’t be the only soon-to-be high school graduate at the party. Send their friends off with an “adulting survival kit” party favor to celebrate their accomplishment too. 

Whether they are heading to college, taking a gap year, or going straight into a job, these items will make them laugh:

  • Tide To Go stain stick

  • Protein bars

  • Candy

  • Earplugs

  • Hand sanitizer

  • Starbucks gift card

  • Mini first aid kit

  • Chapstick

  • Lint roller

Think of these party favors as a blend between a gag gift and an actual practical gift for new grads. They’ll love them!

Make Your Own Dessert Bar

Take your graduate’s favorite dessert and turn it into a dessert bar at their graduation party! Your guests will love making their own delicious creations. For a summertime party, a build your own ice cream sundae is always a huge hit. You could also rent a slushie machine and let guests customize their flavor. If the party is in the evening, a DIY s’mores bar is a great activity!

The way to make unique high school graduation party ideas like this more fun is to customize them around your graduate. For example, incorporate as many of their favorite candies and sweet treats as you can. You can also tie in their high school colors to theme it up.

2022 Cupcake Table

Since we’re on the topic of desserts, another cute idea is to arrange cupcakes in the shape of “2022” on a big dessert table. This is a super easy unique idea that makes a memorable impact on your guests! 

Base the Party on the Graduate’s Favorite TV Show or Pop Culture Moment

Graduation parties don’t technically need a theme, but having one can make the party more fun and guide your party planning choice. Plus, this is probably the last time you can throw a themed party for your soon-to-be adult kid!

The key to creating a theme that teenagers will love is to not go overboard with corny decor or phrases. Instead, revolve the theme around something they love, like their favorite TV show or pop culture moment.

Here are some ideas:

  • Friends theme - “The One Where They Graduate”

  • Harry Potter theme - graduating from Hogwarts

  • Olivia Rodrigo - “Sour” theme

  • Marvel superhero theme

Whether you’re throwing a huge shindig or a casual backyard barbeque, adding a theme to a graduation party is a nice touch!

Personalized “Class of 2022”  Decor

Incorporate some fun “Class of 2022” decor into your party. We love these handmade cups from Etsy! Any extras can be kept as a keepsake. You can also find graduation-themed napkins, straws, cake toppers, and more. Several Etsy shops will customize the items with your graduate’s name, which adds a nice personal element.

Another great Etsy find is this class photo banner. Your guests will love walking down memory lane and seeing a photo of the graduate from each year of school!

Custom Balloon Garland

Nothing says celebrate like a custom balloon garland! They’re perfect for high school graduation parties because you can use your child’s high school colors or the colors of the college they’re heading to in the fall. A balloon garland also makes a great photo opportunity and party entrance.

For customized balloon garlands for Austin, Texas area graduation parties, check out our sister company, Pop & Drop! Balloon garlands can even be paired with our photo booth backdrops for an amazing photo op!

Unique High School Graduation Party Ideas Wrap Up

As a parent, your child graduating from high school and taking the next step in their lives in an emotional time. You can show them how proud you are of them with a personalized party that fits their personality. 

Capture the day with a customized photo booth that your graduate and their friends will love. Contact us today to book a booth for your party.

Gold Shimmer Photo Booth for Erin and Alan’s Springdale Station Wedding Reception in Austin, Texas

Can a wedding have too much greenery? We think the answer is no, and we’re so glad that Erin and Alan agree. Their beautiful Springdale Station wedding was dripping in greenery, from the heart-shaped alter to the hanging greenery and rose chandeliers. It was breathtaking!

Lovelily Flowers killed it with the amazing florals for this wedding! Check out the gorgeous wreaths that the bridesmaids held as they walked down the aisle. They are such a unique touch, and we love that they reused them as decor for the reception.

We added to the night with our gold shimmer photo booth, which perfectly matched the couple’s color scheme. The photo booth was a great place for guests to escape when they needed a break from the dance floor but still wanted to have fun. Plus, the booth gives the bride and groom a moment alone together during the business of the day.

You can even spot the booth shimmering in the background of some of the dancing photos. We’ve said it all along: our luxury backdrops make your event look better! 

From the amazing photos from Nikk Nguyen Photo, you can tell that Erin and Alan’s guests had a great time. They danced the night away, played cornhole, and enjoyed some delicious gin and tonics.

Best wishes to the bride and groom! Looking for a custom photo booth for your next Austin area event? Let’s chat!

Roaming Photography For Rachel and Garrison’s Wedding at Horseshoe Bay Resort Near Austin, Texas

Did you know that we offer roaming photography? That’s right, we can take our photo booth on the move! 

With roaming photography, one of our attendants captures photos of your guests throughout your event. Instead of your guests going to the photo booth, the photo booth goes to them. After our attendant snaps a photo, your guests can instantly email it from the tablet to their phones and post it to social media! 

Roaming photography is great for corporate events to increase guest engagement and brand visibility. However, Rachel and Garrison’s big day at Horseshoe Bay Resort near Austin, Texas shows how well it works for weddings too!

At weddings, we’ve found that guests love the ease of roaming photography, and they’re always excited to smile for a photo. Plus, you get amazing photos that show off your venue and your guests enjoying your wedding. 

We love how candid roaming photography feels at weddings! It reminds us of when couples used to leave disposable cameras on tables so that guests could capture the wedding from their eyes. Seeing your wedding from your guest's perspective adds a really fresh element to event photography. Plus, you can see the photos instantly and relive the whole experience!

Rachel and Garrison’s wedding was perfect for roaming photography because the venue already offered a gorgeous backdrop for photos. We’re obsessed with all the floral details, like the hanging greenery and initial wreath. 

Congrats to the happy couple! Want to book roaming photography for your next event? Contact us today.

Creative Green Screen Photo Booth Ideas

The best part of being in the photo booth biz is channeling our creativity to design amazing experiences for our clients. With our green screen photo booth backgrounds, the creative options are endless! You can basically make any vision come to life when you have a green screen. 

Plus, green screen backdrops work with the portrait booth and the selfie station, so they fit with any event! Looking for inspiration for your upcoming event? Keep reading for our best creative green screen photo booth ideas. 

Floating Heads

This idea is perfect for a murder mystery or Halloween party. We made this green screen setup by using loose green screen cloths that guests put on to create a floating heads illusion. We love the spooky bookcase background, but with a green screen photo booth backdrop, you can use this idea with any backdrop you want! 

You could also use this idea to create a haunted cemetery green screen photo booth. The options are endless!

Party On the Moon

It seems like everyone is going to space these days, so why not join them? Use our green screen photo booth to create the perfect moon landing for your party. We love this idea for a kid's birthday party. You could make it alien-themed with some fun props and costumes!

Here are some alien prop ideas:

  • Glasses shaped like alien eyes

  • Alien masks

  • Alien antenna headbands

  • Laser pointers

Travel to a Distant Land…Without Going Anywhere

Are you dreaming of a post-Covid European vacation? With a green screen photo booth, you can go wherever you want! This idea is great for location-themed events, like a Paris-inspired prom night. 

You could also use this idea for a going-away party! If you have a friend moving far away, set up a green screen photo booth of their new home so that all of their friends can take pictures there.

Mugshot Backdrop

This was a fun green screen backdrop we got to create for the Rough Night movie premiere! When you choose a green screen backdrop, your photo booth can perfectly match your event. Plus, incorporating a green screen is more cost-effective than creating a custom fabric backdrop.

Throw a Red Carpet Party

Do you want to party like the stars? Make your own virtual red carpet with the green screen photo booth! You can go glitzy and make it old-school Hollywood-themed, or make it modern and throw in some paparazzi. 

This idea is fun for an employee or volunteer appreciation event. Make your team members feel like stars by giving them the complete red carpet treatment. Don’t forget to ask them who they’re wearing!

Santa’s Winter Wonderland

We know the holidays just passed, so this is an idea to tuck in your back pocket for when they roll around again. If you’re planning to host a Christmas event that includes photos with Santa Claus, consider using a green screen photo booth instead of constructing a whole set! With a green screen backdrop, you can set up a Winter Wonderland without hauling in tons of fake Christmas trees. 

Not only will you save time and money, but you’ll also give your guests a great photo booth experience. Instead of taking photos on their phones, they’ll have high-quality printed and digital photos as a keepsake from your party.

You could even have a rotation of green screen images that your guests (aka the kids) can choose from. For example, you could have Santa’s toy shop and Santa’s Sleigh. Some clever positioning can make it look like your kids are flying the sleigh with Santa and Rudolph!

Jump Into Your Favorite Cartoon or Superhero Story

Have you ever wanted to swing through New York with Spider-Man or be in an episode of The Simpsons? With a green screen photo booth, you can! With the right backdrop image and a couple of pieces of furniture, you can create some super fun setups. For example, you could have coffee with Marge or watch TV with Homer. 

We love this idea for a themed-up birthday or watch party of your favorite show. Plus, it’s another great option for a child’s birthday party. What kid wouldn’t love to take their picture with Elsa at her ice castle?

Customize the Green Screen Photo Booth for Your Company

Having a corporate party? You can use the green screen photo booth to project your company’s logo. The customization options are endless, and we’re happy to use your designs for the green screen backdrop!

Put On Your Invisibility Cloak

Harry Potter parties are always fun, and you can make it even with a green screen backdrop! Simply choose a Hogwarts-themed image for the green screen backgrounds, and let your guests play with our green screen cloths to make themselves invisible. They can wrap it around themselves to hide everything but their heads and creep through Hogwarts. Throw in some wands and you’ve got the easiest on-theme photo booth ever! 

Let Your Guests Take Their Pick

The best thing about using a green screen photo booth for your event is that your options are virtually endless. You can load up a ton of images that your guests can choose from for their photos.

Not only will the green screen booth provide a fun activity at your event, but it’ll make a big impact on your guests! They’ll always remember how fun it was, and the fact that they got to choose their own backdrops will make you a super cool host in their minds.
