Organising and holding a birthday party or a similar celebration with your child can be a lot of fun. It is also true, though, that knowing what to do to keep them and their party guests entertained right through such an event can be tricky.
Thankfully, there are many ideas that you can find to help make your child’s party go with a swing. One such great idea could be hiring a vintage photo booth – and below, we have explained why.
They are great for creating memories
Even if you don’t hire a photo booth for your child’s upcoming party, it is almost guaranteed that photos will be taken at the event. After all, photos at parties are all about capturing those special, never-to-be-repeated moments, whether they are taken via a photo booth or a smartphone.
Vintage photo booth hire, though, can have particular appeal as a service for your child’s party. Not only would a vintage photo booth at your child’s party look very cool, but it can be great for taking both individual and group shots at such an event.
You will also be able to set up the photo booth more-or-less wherever you need it to be, in order to create a compelling focal point at your party, and it will likely be great for encouraging kids – even those who don’t usually like having their photo taken – to get involved.
The resultant photos can make great keepsakes that you can either frame and place on the wall, or add to an album.
Encouraging imagination
If you include fancy dresses or props with your photo booth, you can encourage your child and their friends to use their imaginations when they are using the booth to take photos.
This could perhaps be part of the overall party theme, or you can include a variety of clothing and props to give the party attendees a choice.
By leaving the booth and the props available to the kids during the party, you will get them going up to the booth and using it, as and when they feel comfortable doing so. It can also help to capture those great moments of imagination as they happen.
Include it as part of a game
One way to capture the pictures that you want – and add to the atmosphere of the event – is to make the photo booth part of a party game.
You could have the children play a dressing-up game and have photos taken as part of the process. Sword props or plain canvas cloaks can be a great thing to use at a game, especially if you are hosting a medieval themed party. You could host some fun competitions such as who can construct their cloak the best or who has the most elaborate design. Both adults and children will love it. This could also help those kids that are shy and normally wouldn’t want to be photographed.
You could also try making a stop-go movie by getting the kids to make a pose and move it slightly with each photo. If you include all of the kids, the finished result could be a great keepsake for them for when they get older.
Create their own costumes
As part of the build-up to taking the photos, why not have materials and other accessories on a table so that the kids in attendance at your child’s party can craft their own costumes?
This could be a great way to help fire their imaginations – plus, you won’t have to worry about the children not wanting the costumes you provide.
Conclusion
Having a vintage photo booth at your child’s party will help give all of the kids and their parents a point of focus, and some photos that they will treasure as mementos of the day. Whatever the ways in which you might choose to incorporate the photo booth into the party, there will be a lot of fun to be had for the kids as they dress up and play in front of the camera.
