Minimalist and Sleek Designs

Less is more when it comes to photo booth layouts. Minimalist designs with clean lines, simple fonts, and subtle accents are in high demand. These layouts allow the photos to take center stage, making them perfect for upscale events like weddings and galas. Neutral tones and elegant typography often accompany this style. PartyPix offers a marble white backdrop to accommodate this style. The feature design is a template for purchase on etsy.

It's All about the GLAM!! 

Instead of the traditional color-photo print, many events are opting for simple layouts with black and white photography. Think of a comic strip format where guests can capture a sequence of moments in one layout. This style is playful and dynamic, making it ideal for parties or themed events.

With social media in mind, tall vertical layouts are becoming increasingly popular. The 6x4 size photo formats are optimized for platforms like Instagram and TikTok, making it easy for guests to share their memories online. We offer boomerang videos in a tall format for this purpose.

Dynamic Video and GIF Frames

For booths that offer video and GIF options, dynamic digital frames are trending. These layouts feature animated elements, such as sparkles, neon lights, or moving patterns, that elevate the guest’s content into something eye-catching and unique.

Scrapbook-Friendly Designs

Many hosts love creating photo booth scrapbooks as keepsakes. Layouts with extra space for handwritten notes, stickers, or doodles are trending for this reason. These scrapbook-friendly designs add a personal touch that guests—and hosts—will treasure.

Bold Typography and Graphic Overlays

Typography is taking center stage in many modern photo booth layouts. Bold fonts, stylized letters, and graphic overlays add personality to prints, making them stand out. Popular choices include neon-inspired text, handwritten-style fonts, and futuristic graphics.
