We have all seen hilarious GIFs on our newsfeeds but what’s the best way to incorporate a GIF booth into your event?
Here are a few of our top tips to get the party started…
1. Grab some props!
Get some fancy dress or props and get ready! Props are a great way to add some individuality to your event. What about Alice in Wonderland or 1920’s theme? Then you’ll really get the guests talking!
2. Choose your GIF
The two most common types of GIFs are Boomerangs and Stop Start GIFs.
The Boomerang GIFs take photos close together and put them together in a moving picture that goes back and forward. It’s perfect for blowing kisses to the camera!
The Stop Start GIF takes 4 photos and puts them together into a mini slideshow. It’s a really good way to incorporate chalk board signs or to give your guests a chance to change their facy dress over quickly!
3. Share the GIFs!
The beauty of GIF’s is that you can immediately send them to your guests to put onto social media in real time. And you can brand GIFs (for example with a company logo or event name) and encourage your guests to use your event hashtag.
4. Get everyone involved!
A GIF booth is a perfect ice breaker for any event as it gets people interacting and making hilarious memories together! An open plan GIF booth (like our PROP GIF booths 🙂 ) are particularly good as you have the advantage of all the other guests being able to watch the GIF being made, which is not only very entertaining but will encourage all the guests to get involved.
If you are looking for a GIF Booth, here are some things to look out for before you hire:
– GIFs. Check out some of their previous work! Instagram is a good place to start, but they should have an online gallery of their work as well.
– Props. Do you have any favourite films or special memories to you? It can be great to theme your props so the GIFs tell a story.
– Printing. Do you want to print the stills from the GIF’s too? This usually comes at an extra cost, but can be a good way of getting some photos for the guest book!
– Insurance. The GIF Booth operator should definitely have all the correct Public Liability Insurance documents which they can share with you.
