Looking for ideas for an 18th, 30th or 50th birthday party? Rent a photo booth!

Few birthday party ideas are just as much fun for those celebrating coming of age as for those entering their golden fifties. But whatever your age, a photo booth is always the star attraction at a party.

If you are a sociable person, you probably like having your photo taken too. But who wants to pay photographers, keep asking others to take your picture or just snap selfies… no wonder there is always a queue in front of the photo booth at all kinds of events, from weddings and birthdays to corporate events.

Photo booths are a simple but brilliant form of entertainment that gets people mingling, chatting and laughing together!

People are sentimental beings, and real-time personal experiences move us emotionally. Photo booths turn happy moments into unforgettable memories.

A relaxed atmosphere with a pile of different props that add a special dose of humour and pull everyone into a story will be captured forever in a photo. Years later, it will still bring a smile to anyone who looks at a picture of themselves having fun with friends.

It doesn't matter how old you are, because we all want happy moments to last. Happiness is short-lived, as we learned recently on Robert Knjaz's TV show, so we are always looking for it. And most of it comes from our relationships with others.

If you want to celebrate some moments happily and remember them for a long time, invite your friends and let them throw themselves into the many roles a photo booth offers. One fake moustache creates far more laughter and happiness in the long run than a delicious cake. The cake only lasts until it's gone. A photo stretches a moment through memory.

Fun for every guest

Birthday parties, just like any other event, can turn dull. You don't want your guests to be bored, but you are not a clown who will keep them entertained all night either. After all, you want the fun to flow naturally, without a set plan or programme.

That is why a photo booth is perfect. It stands to one side, it is open to everyone the whole time, and all the fooling around in front of the camera stays hidden from everyone else, so guests can relax.

We all relax more easily when no one is watching, which is why photos from the booth are often the wildest!

Time flies when you're having fun, and trust us, they will have fun in the photo booth.

A great alternative to dancing

Not everyone is in the mood to dance, so some guests at a party can get bored if dancing is the only entertainment on offer.

Give guests who aren't keen on dancing some fun of their own in the photo booth. That way they can join in the celebration too!

Photos as guests' birthday wishes

One birthday party idea: a book full of birthday wishes!

Have your guests take a photo in the photo booth and write a dedication, a birthday wish to you, on it. When you get home, you'll have a whole book of photos of smiling friends and good wishes.

Choose a party theme

Good party ideas often go hand in hand, so as well as hiring a photo booth you can set a party theme to make it even more fun for your guests.

The theme can be anything you find interesting, from the beach to carnival, the retro seventies or something on trend. Let your imagination run wild and let your guests be someone else for a day.

A photo booth for indoor parties

If you are celebrating your birthday in a restaurant, café or another rented venue, ask whether you can bring a photo booth.

When you book the booth, tell us the occasion you are hiring the photo booth for and we will prepare matching props to bring an extra dose of good vibes. You are also welcome to bring your own props to personalise the event even further.

With our photo booth you also get an online gallery of your party, and everyone can upload the photos to social media!

Depending on the package you choose, you can also pick special photo backdrops, hire a red carpet and VIP stanchions, and even get surprise gifts from the PhotoBox team!
