You have it all: the perfect fiance, a gorgeous ring, and a lifetime of bliss ahead of you. But before you can even plan the magical wedding, it’s time to execute a beautiful engagement party. Step into our world of fun as I share with you the ultimate guide to planning the perfect engagement party where the photo booth does all the heavy lifting for you.

By letting your photo booth be the star, you can create an unforgettable experience for your guests while making your planning load a whole lot lighter. 💍

Go With A Fun & Unique Theme


Finding that life partner is truly something to celebrate, so skip the low-key themes and go with one that ignites excitement! There are lots of themes to choose from, here are my top 5 trending ideas for you.

🌸 Garden Soiree: Go all out with a bohemian-style garden party. I can see it now, the string lights, pretty patterns, and oh look – it’s a Bridgerton cast member.

🕯️ Romantic Ambiance: Picture it… hundreds of white candles, your guests in all black or all white, and violins playing.

🍸 Cocktail Hour: Pick your favorite upscale bar and rent it out for the night. Ask them to create a signature cocktail and cater in your favorite yummy treats.

🥞 Boozy Brunch: If you are sticking with a girls only celebration, do brunch of course! Make it over the top, full of florals, and bring the boozy element to everything.

🌄 Classically Simple: Sometimes less really is more, especially when it’s sunset and you’re celebrating on a beach or in a beautiful backyard. Think minimalistic and timeless.

Make Your Engagement Party Photo Booth The Star

One of the best reasons to rent a photo booth for any event is this… the booth does all the work for you. Forget about trying to keep your guests engaged or mingling, the booth does it for you!

But here is the major party hack for your engagement party: either place your photo booth in the center of the room/venue, or have it close to the entrance. This will ensure it becomes the star of your event and not your fiance's ex who somehow got an invite.

The Details: Create Memorable Experiences With Customization

Parties are always taken from blah to memorable when the details are thoughtfully covered. When it comes to the happy couple, use them as the inspiration for every detail of the party combined with your epic theme.

Don’t forget about ordering customizable photo booth props, come up with fun interactive photo booth games, and find the perfect engagement photo booth backdrops.

Really wow each guest with custom borders for the prints and find a photo booth rental that offers custom overlays.
