A photo booth rental provides a lot of fun opportunities for birthday parties, but you can take the idea of a photo booth rental one step further by incorporating themes into the rental. You can set up props, use specific backgrounds, and give party guests a lot of unique ways to pose.

Consider the following themes to use at a boy's birthday party. Learn about some prop ideas and ways to make the pictures really stand out from your photo booth rental.

Superheroes

A photo booth provides a chance for party guests to transform into their favorite superheroes. You can provide a wide range of Superhero masks and capes for guests to wear at the party. Inside a photo booth, children can do superhero poses and emulate their favorite heroes from movies, TV, and comics.

You can make the pictures look like comic books with the use of word bubbles where children can write in messages and hold the word bubbles above their head. Purchase a collection of the word bubble printouts so everyone can write their own personal superhero quote.

Also consider the use of props like famous weapons including Captain America's shield, Thor's hammer, or Aquaman's trident. You can choose printed cutouts or purchase toy props to use and give to the birthday child once the party ends.

Pirates

Turn a photo booth rental into a pirate theme as guests dress up and act like pirates. One of the simple props to purchase is an eye patch. You could purchase a bulk collection of eye patches and even use some of the party time to have children decorate the eye patches with various crafts and paint.

Along with wearing eye patches, other props may include hook hands or a parrot stuffed animal. Purchase a tropical island backdrop to hang in the photo booth and help complete the theme.

Pro-Wrestling

Children can dress up as their favorite pro-wrestlers and do wrestling poses in a photo booth. Many wrestlers have signature face paint designs that you can recreate on children. After the face paint is applied, kids can pose and pretend to be pro-wrestlers like Sting, Jeff Hardy, Goldust, or Darby Allin.

With a pro-wrestling theme, you can include a lot of foam props like a foam baseball bat or a foam chain. Provide a fake microphone so a child can look like they are recreating a fun wrestling promo.

Brainstorm with a child to help plan out the different theme ideas you want to use for the birthday photo booth.
