Bachelorette Party Photo Booth Ideas

Photo booths are becoming a popular element at parties and weddings, and for good reason: It's a fantastic ice breaker and you'll end up with great photos of your attendees letting loose! Want to have a photo booth at your party? You don't need to shell out money for a professional set up or a photographer! Below are our tips for creating a setup your guests will love!

Create a Backdrop

Create a defined photo area by setting up a backdrop. You can create a photo backdrop on any wall using basic party supplies:

• Feather Boas: Hang feather boas vertically in a row to get an amazing effect!
• Tinsel or Fringe Banners: Rows of tinsel or fringe curtains will create a sparkly backdrop.
• Streamers: Hang crepe streamers or danglers vertically in a row for a brightly colored backdrop.
• Table Covers: For a basic single-color backdrop, a table cover can be used!
• Banners: Accent any of the above backdrops with a banner celebrating the occasion.
• Hack: Buy a readymade backdropor a backdrop kit!

Next to the backdrop, have a large prop box full of things your guests can play with and use in their photos!

Photo Props

You can use almost anything as a photo prop, but below are the tried-and-true best bachelorette photo booth props. Grab a couple of each prop and you'll be guaranteed some fantastic photos!

Signs

Let the signs do the talking! These make fantastic props because they can be passed back and forth between attendees quickly and easily, and they add a great pop of personality to the picture. Signs are perfect for an engagement party, bridal shower, or bachelorette party. They focus on the bride and groom, but there are signs for everyone (including the bridesmaids and maid of honor) in many packs!

 

Stick Photo Props

These props can be found at every wedding and event with a photo booth! The stick photo propshave an old-timey feel and are an easy way to transform your look with a flick of the wrist. Stick Props can also be held in a vase and make a great looking decoration!

Hats

Are you a bride, a devil, or a princess? Change your look from sassy to sweet, all depending on the headpiece you wear! Get a few hats, tiaras, and veilsto set the mood, and pick out something special just for the bride. She'll want to keep wearing it even after the photo op is done!

Wigs

The party's begun when the first wig goes on. Get a few in a variety of colors and shapes. Guests will love getting wild with a different look! They may like it so much; they choose to go out in the wigs later! (This is great for shy girls that may not want their true identity shown in the pics!)

Masks and Glasses

Disguise yourself with some themed masks and fun glasses! Pick fun and crazy glasses for your guests to use as photo props.  Grab a special pair of Bride glasses for the guest of honor!  Use fun glasses as bachelorette party favors too!

Photo Booth Game

Want to go above and beyond the basic photo booth? Create a photo booth game! Challenge the girls to create the best photos using the props, and then have prizes on hand for the winners! Challenges can include:

• Best impression of the bride
• Best impression of the groom
• Sexiest photo
• Funniest photo
• Most girls in one photo
• Most props used in one photo

 

After the Party

The best party about setting up a photo booth is the photos you will have after the party!  Make the Bride a special book filled with shots from the party. It will be a keepsake she will always cherish.
