Photo booths are a fun and easy way to capture some special and fun pictures at a party or event. With a few low-cost supplies and simple props, you can create your own DIY photo booth or photo backdrop for your next event. If you are not sure where to begin, a quick search on Pinterest will yield several results to get you started.

First, pick a theme for your photo booth/backdrop. The “theme” will depend on the event. Birthdays, weddings, showers, and school parties are just a few examples of events that are perfect for setting up a photo booth/backdrop.

Next, visit Pinterest and search “photo booth backdrop” for ideas. Scroll through and see the variety. If you see some you like, click on them and pin them to one of your Pinterest boards. You may even decide to create a Pinterest board dedicated to photo booths/backdrops and props like the one I did. If you’d like to see my Pinterest board for photo booths, feel free to check it out here.

Then, when it’s time to get ready for your party or event, gather the supplies and props and set up your photo booth for your guests. You may want to establish a social media hashtag for your event/party and encourage your guests to use it when posting photos.

Here is a roundup of some of the photo booth backdrop ideas on my Pinterest board. Some of the pins are links to full blog posts with step-by-step instructions, others are simply pictures for some DIY inspiration:
