Photo booth planning checklist

A great booth experience is decided long before the first guest steps up. Run through these ten points and your booth will be set up, on brand and busy all night.

1. Lock your date and hours. Confirm when guests arrive and when you want the booth running. Most events peak after dinner.
2. Choose your booth. iPad for photos and prints, 360 for slow-motion videos, or both.
3. Pick your add-ons. Prints, a backdrop, themed props, an extra design or guest data capture.
4. Share your theme. Send names, date, colors, a logo or your invitation so the design matches your event.
5. Approve your design. Review the overlay and start screen proof and request any tweaks before the day.
6. Check the space. About 8 × 8 ft for the iPad booth or 10 × 10 ft for 360, on flat ground.
7. Find power. A standard outlet within 15 ft of the booth spot.
8. Sort Wi‑Fi. Instant sharing needs Wi‑Fi or strong cell signal. Get the network name and password from your venue.
9. Plan around key moments. Let your booth team know about speeches, first dances or awards so the line doesn't clash.
10. Send load-in details. Entrance, elevator, parking and the earliest setup time. The team arrives 1 hour before start time.
