- Boothco Limited -
It’s important to capture important events in your life so you can look back on them fondly and have a memento of that momentous occasion. As a result, a lot of people love to take photographs during big gatherings and events - and one trendy way to do so is to use a photo booth.
Photo booths allow you to take pictures either alone or with others, with props or without, against a stunning backdrop. You can get as many as you like and if you have been wise enough to take advantage of these opportunities, you probably have a ton of photo booth pictures lying around your home.
So - what can you do with them?
If you have a ton of photo booth pictures and you are looking for creative ways to use them, then check out our recommendations below!
‘Thank You’ Cards
Over the years, photo booths have become really popular at weddings - and for good reason!
They’re a lot of fun for both guests and the bride and groom, they allow all wedding attendees to take informal and casual photographs that still look great and high quality, and they can double as party favors so your guests each have something they can use to look back at your wedding.
So, by the end of your wedding, it’s likely you have a ton of photo booth pictures with all your family members and friends. Some will be sweet, others will be silly, and some will be outright hilarious - so it’s a shame to leave them to gather dust in a memory box somewhere.
A creative way to use your wedding day photo booth pictures is to transform them into wedding ‘thank you’ cards.
It’s tradition to send a little message of thanks to your guests after the wedding is over and you’ve returned from your honeymoon. These cards or messages usually feature one of your favorite photographs of the wedding couple during the day, alongside a little written note to show your guests your appreciation.
So, instead of using a formal photograph, why not use some photo booth pictures of you and your spouse?
Not only does it give you the chance to show your guests just how much fun you and your spouse had on your wedding day, but it also puts those photos to good use. If you or your spouse also has photos with each of the guests, then you can use those too to help make each and every card more personal.
Picture Bookmarks
If you want to be able to take out your photo booth pictures and look at them regularly, then a great way you can do this is by turning your photo booth pictures into a bookmark.
A lot of us use bookmarks every day and if you are a notorious bookworm, a bookmark made out of your favorite photo booth pictures is an ideal way to get practical use out of them while also getting constant opportunities to admire them.
To make your own bookmark out of your photo booth pictures, you just need to get them laminated somewhere to help keep them safe and protected. Frequently using your photo booth pictures can increase the chance of them getting folded, bent, or stained - so laminate them to protect them! It’s easy!
Memory Bottle
To get the most out of your photo booth pictures, it makes sense to frame them and hang them up on a wall somewhere, but that idea is also a bit bland and boring. So, how can you creatively display your photo booth pictures around your home?
This method takes your photo booth pictures and stores them safely inside a clear little bottle, sealed with a cork. This way, you can display your photo booth pictures without having to nail anything to a wall, struggle to find the right kind of frame, and so on. So, they’re really easy to make yourself.
You can display them on bookshelves, mantlepieces, sideboards - anywhere with a surface! You can even connect the bottle with a little display plinth, and etch and decorate it as you please to make it personal.
Collage Peg Display
This creative way to display your collection of photo booth photographs will take a lot of hard work and materials, but the end result is definitely worth it.
To make your own photo collage peg display, you need to make a frame of wood. This frame can be whatever size you desire, and you can even make it large enough to stand on its own or lean against a wall rather than be hung up.
Once you have your frame, it’s time to decorate it. Around the frame, add decorations that are relevant to your room’s decor or the theme of the events in the photos.
For example, are the pictures from your prom? Then why not decorate the frame with confetti and glitter? Is it from a beach wedding? Add sea shells and little bottles of sand, paint the frame in the wedding’s colors, etc.
Inside the frame, you need to string rows of string (or wire) across the width of the frame and peg your photo booth pictures on using regular wooden pegs. You can also add little cards with dates and places so you can keep track of what photo was taken where and when.
Once you are done, just hang it up in your home or lean it against a wall!
This idea is great for keeping track of all the events you have attended. Alternatively, you can collect the photo booth pictures from others at the same event and use them to display all the pictures taken at a single wedding, or prom, or whatever event you want to display.
Scrapbook
This final idea is definitely one of the most creative - use your photo booth pictures to make your own scrapbook.
These scrapbooks don’t need to be huge or incredibly fancy, but it’s a great way to store your pictures somewhere meaningful. It also gives you the opportunity to flex your creativity and create a scrapbook that would make the perfect gift for someone else.
You can add brightly coloured paper, patterns, ribbons, stickers, glitter, and so much more. Why not glue down some of the confetti from your wedding? Or preserve petals and leaves from the bouquet?
You should also try to add notes, dates, quotes, and little drawings you would like to add to your scrapbook to make it beautiful to browse through. Then, you can store your scrapbook and have a lovely momentum of the important dates and moments in your life.
Final Thoughts
So, there are a lot of creative ways you can store and display your photo booth pictures from important events like birthdays, weddings, parties, and more.
You can scrapbook them and keep them somewhere safe and sound for later admiration, or store them somewhere out in the open so you can look at them every single day and remember all the fun events you have attended.
