Bar Mitzvah Photo Booth
A Bar Mitzvah or Bat Mitzvah is an incredibly exciting and important event for the whole family. A chance to get everyone together and celebrate a really special moment in your son or daughter’s life. But this all means a lot of organisation! And the whole party planning process can be very stressful. With these few simple tips you can at least make sure that booking a Bar Mitzvah photo booth is a breeze!
Timings
First things first – what time do you want the photo booth to start and end? We think a photo booth is a great ice breaker so we would recommend starting it as soon as your party kicks off. Having around 4 hours of boothing time is perfect to make sure everyone gets their photo taken.
Location
Does your venue have plenty of room for a photo booth? With an open photo booth, you can get loads of people in every picture so make sure there is plenty of space for everyone to get in. You also need to leave room for the backdrop. We usually recommend 2.5m x 2.5 m but an open booth is flexible so don’t panic if you don’t have quite that much space.
Theme
Have you got a theme in mind? Maybe you are basing it on a favourite book, film or colour? Or you’re going for a tropical or safari style party? Whatever you have in mind, make sure you tell your photo booth operator because there are a number of ways you can incorporate your theme:
- Backdrop: We’ve got a wide range of backdrops (from glitter to hedges) which match a number of different themes. And we’re only too happy to create a custom backdrop or custom sign to match your theme. This can create a stunning feature in itself.
- Props: Again we’ve got a huge prop box full of all kinds of props (from rubber fish to giant flamingos) and we can provide props to match almost any theme. But if we haven’t got it, we can track them down!
- Print out: One of the best parts of a photo booth is getting printouts (you get unlimited photos with a PROP Photo booth package) which your guests can take home with them. We can design a print out with your event name, logo, colour or pattern theme so make sure you let us know what you have in mind.
Follow these simple steps to make sure you get the most out of your Bar Mitzvah photo booth. And if you have any other questions or would just like to chat about your event, give us a call. We’ve provided photo booths for countless Bar mitzvahs and Bat mitzvahs and we’ve also got a pretty good idea what makes a great party!

Why your next corporate event needs a GIF booth
Looking for the perfect party entertainment? Enter the GIF booth!
When you’re planning a corporate event it’s important to ask yourself, what it is you want to get out of it. Do you want to entertain your guests? Build a relationship with them? Promote your brand? Probably a mixture of all those. But how do you tick all those boxes when you don’t have an unlimited budget?
Entertainers for example can be great fun but they don’t have an obvious branding element whereas giving your guests amazing merchandise is perfect for promoting the brand but isn’t likely to have the fun factor. So how do you choose what to prioritise when you’re on a budget?
Enter the GIF booth – entertainment and marketing all in one, without a huge price tag! There’s a reason why GIF booths are increasingly popping up at everything from product launches to conferences, well actually there are 4 reasons to be exact:
Entertainment – First and foremost, GIF booths are great fun! They’re loved by people of all ages, from Gen Zs through to your baby boomers. They’re also a fantastic icebreaker. If you are looking for some entertainment which will get all your guests laughing and chatting then a GIF booth is just what you need. Because guests have to move around in front of the camera, unlike a posed photograph you get with a photo booth, the GIFs are all about movement so they are really interactive.
Taking a GIF is also a fun way to get people to interact with you. We have used GIF booths at trade shows, and our clients have gained customers by encouraging people to come into their stand. Your potential customers will be having a great time and laughing, which is the perfect opportunity to start speaking to them.
Engagement – Getting your guests to take photos at your event is a sure fire way to boost engagement with your brand. With a GIF booth your guests can take a photo and then choose to email or text it to themselves in real time so they can upload the images while at your event and further promote it to their wider audience. With a GIF booth you also have an option to include your logo and information on the text or email you send, helping to further emphasise your brand.
At PROP Photo & GIF Booths, we also offer the option of print outs so your guests get the double whammy of seeing your brand in their inboxes, while also taking home a photo to stick on their fridge. We can also track shares and engagements to show how successful a campaign has been and what the reach is.
Relationship building – GIF booths can also offer that holy grail which is increasingly hard to come by – customer data! When a guest inputs their details to send themselves their GIFs, you will be able to capture their email address which you can use for future email campaigns. Just make sure you include a GDPR opt in so your guests are aware that you will have their details and can opt out if they choose.
Branding – With a GIF booth there is ample opportunity for branding too. You can brand the screen, the emails and texts, your print outs and of course you can brand the booth and backdrop.
GIF booths are without doubt one of the most cost effective ways of entertaining your guests, while making sure you get top levels of brand engagement. Get in touch with PROP Photo & GIF Booths now to hear how a GIF booth could add the finishing touches to your next event.
5 Fun Wedding Ideas
Fun Wedding Ideas
You’ve done the seating plan, finalised timings for the day and you’re feeling completely in control but there is just one niggling thought – I want some fun wedding ideas to make sure all my guests have an amazing time! You can have the most wonderful food and a flowing bar but how do you keep your guests entertained? There’s lots of things you can do to inject some extra fun into your day that don’t cost a fortune! Here are some fun wedding ideas, which will make sure you have a memorable wedding reception, which your guests will love:
Get your tables to have a sing off:
When everyone sits down, a great way to break the ice and get everyone relaxed is to get everyone singing. Give each table a line of a well-known song and then get your MC and musicians to kick off the singing. You can give a prize for the best (loudest) table. It works really well for Christmas weddings. You can have the tables each sing one of the 12 days of Christmas.
Get some props:
Everyone loves getting dressed up! Again, it will break the ice and get everyone laughing. You could set up a big box of props next to the dance floor or buy everyone a hat. Or put some moustaches on each table. Amazon is a great place to source bulk fancy dress. Its inexpensive and you can get some other fun wedding ideas along the way. All your guests will have an amazing time and you’ll also get some great photos. If your budget will stretch to a photobooth then you can get some hilarious photos and props all in one.
Get some pearls of wisdom:
Leave advice or prediction cards on your guest places and ask your guests to give you their top tips for a happy marriage. It gives your guests something to talk about and discuss which can be a lifesaver if people are sat next to people they don’t know. You’ll also get a box full of hilarious notes to read through and cherish for the years to come.
Fun centre pieces:
Have fun with your centre pieces; you don’t just have to have flowers. A really fun wedding idea is to leave all kinds of silly games on the tables to make your guests laugh and entertain the big kids among your guests! You could put bubbles on the table or peashooters. Or what about some glitter? Again, Amazon is best place to get bargain toys and get lots of other inspiration for fun wedding ideas.
Wedding Speech Bingo :
The wedding speeches can always be a bit hit or miss. When they hit the right note it can be the best part of the wedding. But if they go on a bit long or have too many in jokes, some guests can get bored. This is where wedding speech bingo can go down amazingly! Give your guests bingo guards with well-known phrases or clichés from wedding speeches and then the first person to complete a full line wins a prize! There are lots of free printable bingo cards available to download online.
