7 Tips for Creating the Perfect Photo Booth Template

Brought to you by Decibel and Lumens –

When it comes to making your event unforgettable, your photo booth template is more than just a design—it’s a lasting memory your guests will take home (and probably post online). At Decibel and Lumens, we believe the best templates reflect the vibe, style, and energy of your event. Whether you’re planning a wedding, birthday bash, or corporate celebration, here are seven tips to help you decide on the perfect layout and help us create the perfect template for your Photo Booth or 360 Video Booth:

1. Match Your Event Theme

Your template should reflect your event’s overall aesthetic. Hosting a rustic outdoor wedding? Go for warm tones and floral accents. Throwing a modern corporate mixer? Keep it clean and sleek. The goal is to make the design feel like an extension of your event.

2. Keep It Clean and Readable

It’s tempting to request your template to have various colors and fonts, but less is often more. Stick with 1-2 fonts and a layout that doesn’t distract from the photos. A clean design ensures your guests (and their smiles) are always the focus.

3. Use High-Quality Logos or Graphics

If you’re including a company logo, monogram, or special graphic, be sure to send us a high-resolution PNG file with a transparent background. This keeps your design crisp, professional, and print-ready.

4. Include Names and Dates (or Your Brand Message)

People love remembering when and where a great photo was taken. Whether it’s the couple’s names and wedding date or a brand’s event slogan, a small, well-placed line of text goes a long way in making the memory stick.

5. Choose the Right Layout

Not all events need the same photo format. Do you want a classic 2x6 strip, a 4x6 postcard, or a branded square for social media? We’ll help you choose the best layout to match your vision and booth style.

6. Be Mindful of the Photo Area

Your design should frame the photos—not cover them. Avoid placing text or graphics too close to the areas where photos will appear. We’ll guide you through the safe zones to ensure nothing gets cropped or hidden.

7. Let Us Help You Customize It

At Decibel and Lumens, our in-house design team can bring your template to life. Whether you have a full vision or just a few ideas, we’ll work with you to create something that fits your event perfectly. Want something elegant? Fun? Bold? We’ve got you.

Once your event is booked, we’ll send you this template form where you can share your design inspiration, logos, fonts, colors, and more. We’ll take it from there and ensure your photo booth template is one-of-a-kind—just like your event.
