GIF Photo Booth for Geraldine’s Holiday Disco Bar & Lounge in Austin, Texas

We may not get snow in Austin, but here at Oh Happy Day Booth, we can still make your snow globe dreams come true! Geraldine’s celebrated the holidays in style with their holiday disco bar and lounge, and the event was a huge hit.

For the booth, we set up the Selfie Station with a custom snow globe template that added a sprinkle of winter wonderland magic. The guests had a blast creating their own GIFs! Geraldine’s opted to skip the backdrop and use the party as the background! We think that was a great call since the Christmas tree completed the snow globe look.

The other magical part of the Selfie Station is that guests can instantly send their GIFs and photos to themselves and share them on social media asap. No waiting until the end of the event for a gallery link (although we send that to the hosts too!). 

We love being part of holiday celebrations. In fact, we thought we’d share some behind-the-scenes snapshots of the photo booth so you can see what it’s like from our angle. Watching guests have a blast in the booth + the gorgeous Christmas tree in the background = the best view of the night! 

If you’re planning a holiday party this year, we’ve got a booth to match your event. You can get guests moving and grooving with the Selfie Station or go for a more classic option with the Portrait Booth

Either way, we love making winter wonderland dreams come true with custom photo templates, luxury backdrops, and other great features. Contact us today to dream up the perfect Austin area photo booth rental for your holiday bash!

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.

Roaming Photography for the ATXSciWri Galaxy Holiday Party

This event was a GALACTIC success! We brought the photo booth to the guests at this fun holiday party for the non-profit Austin Texas Science Communicators (also known as ATXSciWri)! 

Our roaming photo booth is perfect for capturing the full event. Instead of staying at the photo booth, our attendant roams the venue with a camera and gathers guests together for photos. 

The guests can send the photos to themselves straight from the tablet and share them right away! No more painfully waiting for a photographer to send you a gallery link. Plus, at the end of the night, the host immediately gets a download link to all of the photographs!

Here at Oh Happy Day Booth we love roaming photography because we get to interact with guests, capture candid moments, and document the entire event. 

The ATXSciWri holiday party got the best of both worlds! They opted for roaming photography and still rented a metallic backdrop to match their theme. We got to capture guests in front of the backdrop and around the venue. Get you a photo booth company that can do both. 😉

This party was out-of-the-world fun. According to their website, “ATXSciWri is a nonprofit dedicated to promoting accurate, accessible, and ethical science writing and communication.” We love partnering with organizations that are doing some good in the world! 

Are you planning an epic holiday party? Consider booking roaming photography and bringing the photo booth to the guests! Contact us today to discuss your event - we can’t wait to party with you!

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!

5 Great Bat Mitzvah Themes and Bar Mitzvah Themes

Throwing a bat mitzvah or bar mitzvah for your child is no easy task these days. It’s an important spiritual landmark in their life, and they want to have a celebration with their friends that they’ll remember forever.

One way to make the process easier is to choose a fun theme that the guest of honor and their friends will love.

Your theme will guide your decision-making when it comes to food, decor, location, activities, and other aspects of the party. How do you pick the perfect theme? We’ve got you covered with the best themes for bat mitzvahs and bar mitzvahs below!

Video Game Theme

Does your kid love video games? Throw a party based on their favorite gaming universe! For example, with the new Mario Bros movie coming out, why not throw a Super Mario Party?

Everyone can dress up as characters from the franchise, and you can set up real-life versions of the video game. If you want to go all out, you can create a real-life obstacle course with mushrooms and gold coins.

To keep this idea simpler, host a Mario Kart tournament and theme up the decor and food. Who wouldn’t love a Yoshi cake? Another approach is to easily create real-life Mario Kart by having all the kids dress up and go to a Go Kart track. Mamma Mia!

Old Hollywood Party

Roll out the red carpet for your teen! They’ll love posing in a red carpet-themed photo booth with all of their friends. You can even have the attendants act like paparazzi! 

Style their bat or bar mitzvah after the Oscars and ask everyone to dress up like their favorite Hollywood star. The guest of honor can roll up in a stretch limo just like the stars. From the decor to the food, every aspect of this party should be glammed up to be worthy of the stars.

Halloween Theme

If your bat or bar mitzvah falls in October, why not take advantage of the season and throw a massive Halloween party for your teen? Everyone can dress up in devilish and witchy costumes and you can deck out the venue with skulls, cobwebs, and skeletons. A historical venue with medieval candle chandeliers can even double as a haunted house!

You can also serve spooky drinks in goblets and cover the venue in lanterns and pumpkins. The guest of honor and their friends will love it!

Music Festival Party

If your teen is entering their music festival phase, why not throw one just for them? Hire a great band that can play all of their favorite songs so you can keep the dance party going all night long! Turn your child’s favorite lyric into a neon sign and attach it to the photo booth. 

You can decorate the venue with boho details like giant pillows to sit on and tapestries. Don’t forget the feather earrings and hair extensions! 

Summer Tropical Theme

Let’s be real, we live in Texas, so it’s almost always warm enough for a summer tropical-themed party! Go all out with fun tropical drinks served out of coconuts (virgin, of course), tiki lanterns, and bold beachy colors. 

You can also deck out the venue with palm fronds and bamboo and serve a chocolate fondue bar with tons of tropical fruit for dipping! There are also great games you can play at Tropical parties, like limbo. You can also string up some hammocks for the guests that want to chill out!
For more tropical theme ideas, check out this amazing party we got to be part of with our sister brand, Pop & Drop, for TikTok Austin!

The Perfect Photo Booth for Bat Mitzvahs and Bar Mitzvahs 

No matter what theme you choose for your child’s big bat or bar mitzvah bash, no party is complete without a photo booth! Our luxury photo booth backdrops can match any party theme, and you can customize them with themed-up props! 

Tech-savvy kids love the Selfie Booth because they can take the photos themselves and immediately send them to their phones for social media sharing. 

You can also add on a balloon garland, streamers, and custom signage to make the booth your own. Your kids and their friends will love posing in the booth, and the photos make the perfect party keepsakes!

Final Thoughts on the Best Bat Mitzvah Themes and Bar Mitzvah Themes

 At the end of the day, the best bat mitzvah or bar mitzvah theme for your child is the one that makes them feel celebrated and honors the momentous occasion. Whether you go all out or keep it simple, they’ll love partying with their friends and celebrating their rite of passage! 


We’d love to be part of the big day! To book a custom photo booth for your child’s bar mitzvah or bat mitzvah, contact us here.

Mackenzie and Sean’s Elegant White Photobooth at Their Villa Antonia Wedding in Austin, TX

We love that Mackenzie and Sean opted for a classic white backdrop for their portrait photo booth rental. Everything about their black-tie wedding was elegant, and it goes to show that you don’t always need to add bling to throw a stunning reception. 

Sometimes less really is more. When you have a wedding venue as breathtakingly gorgeous as Villa Antonia in the Texas hill country, most of your wedding decor is already done for you!

Villa Antonia is just over 30 miles outside of Austin, and the journey is worth it for the sweeping views of that Texas hill country! As soon as you step foot at this event venue, you feel like you’re at a centuries-old Italian villa. Weddings here are truly magical!

The floral arrangements that Mackenzie and Sean picked out made the venue even more romantic. From the cascading greenery on the stairway railing to the floating roses in the fountain, every corner of the villa was elegant. 

We’re also obsessed with Mackenzie’s timeless white and blush bridal bouquet! Thank you Lacey and Lee Photography for the gorgeous photos!

At Oh Happy Day Booth, we love all weddings, whether their glamorous and trendy or classic and minimal. No matter what, your guests will have a blast snapping photobooth shots, and they always get a fun keepsake from your big day!

We have a luxury photo booth for every type of event. Get in touch today to tell us about your event and book your booth rental! 

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.
