The office is decorated, the Christmas carols are playing, and now it’s time to think about the company holiday party — how can you make it a fun and unique event that attendees will love? One of the best ways is with a personalised photo booth. Branded photo booths are luxurious and fun ways for your guests to take photos, videos and even make gifs, so it’s an amazing addition to any party, large or small. Here are a few fun ideas for Christmas party photo booths to help you make the most of this year’s celebrations!
You can tailor your booth experience for any event — luxury photo video booths add something unique and fun to any holiday party, helping everyone get into the holiday spirit!
1. Add Some Extra Fun To Your Holiday Photo Booth With A Competition
If you’re looking for an exciting way to get everyone involved, one of our favourite Christmas photo booth ideas is to create a photo competition. Promote the party with the anticipation of a photo contest and come up with prizes for a range of different images. You could give away prizes for the funniest photo of the night, the photo that’s the most holiday-themed or the photo that has the most people in it — the choice is yours!
2. Use Videos To Create Fun Christmas Social Media Content
Savvy party planners know that their company can get value from their photo booth hire even after the party ends, thanks to social media! With your photo booth, everyone will get the chance to take home digital or printed images (or copies of their videos), branded with your company’s colours and/or logo.
You can encourage your attendees to share their videos on their own social media channels, which is helpful for brand exposure, but you can also share them on your own channels. Businesses often struggle with social media content ideas, so why share some of your holiday videos on Facebook or Instagram to help promote your business? It’s a unique way to get clients or customers a lighthearted insight into who your staff are, showing them that your staff are relaxing and enjoying the holidays after a busy year.
3. Get Everyone Laughing With Boomerangs
One of our favourite Christmas party photo booth ideas has to be boomerangs! These are fun video snippets that show an action repeated on a loop and can be really entertaining to watch.
With our premium Selfie Booths, it’s easy for your attendees to make boomerangs, so encourage everyone to have a go! In addition, the Selfie Booths can create gifs, videos and photos, so guests can choose their favourite medium to create with.
Our Christmas photo booth hire in New Zealand can be customised so that the look and feel of the booth fits in perfectly with your decor, even if your event is taking place in a hotel ballroom or high-end venue.
4. Cater To The Holidays With Themed Props
While a photo booth can be a fun addition to a company party at any time of the year, one way to really get attendees into the festive spirit is with props! By preparing a table full of fun props that people can wear when taking photos or making videos, it adds such a fun and Christmasy element to your party.
Even better, props definitely don’t need to be costly. Some of our favourite Christmas photo prop ideas include Santa hats, stockings, candy canes, silly reindeer antler headbands or oversized signs that people can hold, saying Merry Christmas or Happy New Year.
Don’t be afraid to get creative! Just about anything can be a photo prop, and if your holiday party has a specific theme, you can also come up with props to go along with your theme or even your event’s colour scheme.
For example, if yours is a tropical-themed party, don’t be afraid to bring along some oversized sunglasses, beach balls or Hawaiian shirts! Although it sounds silly, everyone loves putting on a fun accessory for a photo and it really helps to get people talking and mingling.
5. Make A Reel With Your Photos To Share With Attendees
After the event, a fun memento for your guests is to create a reel of all of your photos. This is an easy way to showcase all of the videos taken, recording the energy and vibe of the night. Reels are also very popular at the moment, especially on Instagram, so making a reel from the party can be useful for generating social media engagement — not to mention, your guests are likely to like and comment on the post, talking about how fun the evening was!
It’s a good idea to come up with a hashtag for your holiday party too and ask all of your attendees to use it when they post their photos online. This way, it’ll be easy for you to search for your hashtag and find everyone’s fun photos. However, you’ll also get an online link to all of the digital images after the event.
