You have invested in the best photo booth and spine-chilling Halloween photo booth props for your upcoming Halloween party. But did you know a backdrop can turn the entire photo booth experience upside down?
What are backdrops?
A backdrop is a decoration that you need to fix behind your booth for added creativity and fun. Theme-driven backdrops help spice up the overall event and also add that extra scary punch to your photos.
Wondering whether photo booth props are essential for the ultimate photo booth experience?
Well, a backdrop rental isn’t always necessary. But nobody wants their Halloween pictures with plain and uninteresting backdrops.
Because these backdrops are customized, they add an element of exclusivity to your photos and serve as the decoration when you’re planning to host an event somewhere that doesn’t have any other sort of decorations.
Here’s why having a backdrop for your Halloween photo booth is a good idea…
- Lift the decor of any event
- Draw attention from other decor imperfections (if any)
- They come in a wide range of styles, colors, and themes
- These backdrops are usable, meaning you can store and reuse them for many other events
- You can personalize them to fit your decor needs
Now that you know why you need a backdrop for your event, it is time to have a quick look at some of the backdrop types you can choose for your event.
Paper-crafted Backdrops
Paper backdrops are available in a wide range of colors, textures, and patterns. The good thing about these backdrops is that they’re very affordable compared to other decorative and customized options.
You can even get them printed to match the feel of an occasion. For example, if it’s Halloween, you can order some ghost-printed or pumpkin-printed paper backdrops that add spookiness to your event decor.
Fabric-crafted Backdrops
Fabric-made backdrops are reusable. They’re also available in different colors, materials, and sizes. These backdrops are easier to personalize. You can hand-paint them, air-brush them, or even add beads or stones if you want to give an elegant touch to your decor. The most popular fabric backdrops are crafted from muslin or canvas. So you can also go for the same.
Sequin-studded Backdrops
Sequin-studded backdrops are mostly used behind wedding photo booths, but you can also creatively utilize them for your Halloween decor.
Again, you can choose a backdrop with different sequin colors to add depth and vibrancy to your Halloween decor.
These backdrops are usually created from lightweight and reflective material, making them more maintainable and reusable.
Gold/Silver Streamer Backdrops
A gold or silver streamer backdrop can be the best choice if you want to keep your Halloween decor minimalistic yet extremely eye-catching and beautiful.
You can use them on any occasion, ranging from a simple birthday party to weddings and even Halloween.
So how exactly can you use backdrops behind your Halloween photo booths to make them look even more exciting? Here are a few ideas you can try…
Spider Web Backdrop
Spider webs have some sort of intrinsic connection with Halloween decor. You can even add a graveyard fence to lift your idea even more.
You can order such backdrops from any good rental company or even take a DIY route to breathe life into your creative ideas.
Because the spider web theme isn’t too complex to follow, you can make these backdrops on printed paper, cloth, or even glitter sheets.
Paper Bats Backdrop
Halloween craft is incomplete without some spooky paper-cut bats. Guess what? They’re incredibly simple to make.
If you don’t want to make them on your own, you can get in touch with any photo booth props company or rental to get them done for you.
If you’re making them yourself, you can then stick them to a sheet of paper or cloth to bring these little creatures to life.
Pumpkin Backdrop
For some of us, pumpkin means jack-o’-lantern. Sure, you can make some amazing puddings and cinnamon-spiced cake slices out of them as well. But pumpkins have a long history with Halloween.
How about creating a jack-o’-lantern-inspired backdrop this holiday season to scare away evil spirits?
You can use cloth as a backdrop and paste paper-crafted demonic pumpkin faces on top of them. Or if you want to use some real pumpkins, you can create a simple black bat backdrop and put some ghoulish pumpkin faces in front of them to give your Halloween photo booth the love it deserves.
Celestial Backdrop
You can also get celestial by crafting a paper moon photo booth backdrop with a witch or wolverine figurines printed or pasted on the top. Spice everything up with some neon lighting, and you’re all set to scare the hell out of everyone.
Aren’t these Halloween photo booth backdrop ideas crazy? They’re too simple and affordable too. Give one of these ideas a try this Halloween season, and let us know how it works out. Happy Halloween.
