Don’t we all just love the fun and insanely beautiful and creative photos and videos that we get from photo booths? Well, for the most part, the creativity comes with choosing the right add-ons. And given that there are plenty of add-ons depending on the photo booth rental you go with, it can be quite confusing to know which ones to tick when selecting the package.

One thing to always remember is that not all add-ons will fit every event. Some will suit younger guests, while others may better suit a corporate event. So when selecting photo booth add-ons, your guests, theme of event and several other factors must be considered in order to choose the best options for your specific needs and preferences. 

 Here are some steps you can follow to help you select the best photo booth add-ons.

Determine your Requirements

First and foremost, define your goals and requirements for the photo booth. Consider factors such as the event type, venue, guests, and any specific features or themes you'd like to incorporate. This will help you narrow down the add-ons that align best with your entire event.

Add-ons are often chosen to match the theme or style of an event. For example, if it's a formal event, elegant backdrops and props might be more suitable, while a playful or themed event could benefit from quirky props and creative backgrounds. 

Additionally, consider your guest’s preferences and interests to ensure the add-ons resonate with them. For instance, if your guests are older, say 50 plus, quirky props may not appeal to them.

Research Available Add-ons

Once you’ve determined your event theme, venue and type of guests, its time to dig deep into some research. With the research, you want to explore the various add-ons available in the market. 

The best way to do this is to talk to a few reputable photo booth rentals in Houston who you know offer a wide range of options. Give them as much info as possible about the event so they can advise you better. 

Talk to them about add-ons such as prop kits, backdrops, green screens, filters, GIF creation, social media sharing, customized branding, and printing capabilities etc. You will be amazed at the many options there are out there.

Set a Budget

Now that you have an idea of what add-ons you can add to your package, determine what your budget is then find options that align with your financial limitations. Typically add-ons cost between $50 to $200 or even more. For instance, a guest album ranges between $50 to $80  while a greenscreen backdrop costs $150 and up.

In addition to considering  the cost of both purchasing and renting the add-ons, factor in any other additional expenses such as customization if needed.

Seek Customization Options

If you want to incorporate specific branding elements or personalize the photo booth experience for your event, we suggest you look for add-ons that offer the option to customize. This is especially if you are looking for add-ons for corporate or themed events. Customizations can include adding company logos, event themes, or custom overlays on printed photos or digital outputs.
