Green Screen for Parties

A party everyone will be talking about

Green screen photography is one of the most fun things you can add to a party, simply because it lets your guests be anywhere they like. The whole thing runs on imagination: a beach scene for the friend who’s forever surfing, something glamorous for the birthday star, a snowy backdrop for a Christmas do. Guests pose in front of the green, we drop them into the scene, and a print lands in their hands moments later. It breaks the ice, gets people laughing and sends everyone home with something to keep.

This isn’t a stiff, stand-still-and-smile sort of photo. It’s meant to be played with. People drop their guard, pull faces, pile in as a group, and the photos end up being the ones everyone actually wants to hang on to.

Five ways to use it at your party

There’s more to it than standing still and grinning, so here are a few ways people put the green screen to work on the night:

1. Take individual or group shots before the party gets going and use them to set the theme. They make cracking profile pictures too.
2. Keep snapping through the night against different backgrounds, then load the lot into an online gallery so everyone can share.
3. Run it as a full photo booth with props on hand, so guests can grab something daft and capture the moment together in one shot.
4. Dress up as a character from your theme and get your guests to do the same. It makes for a brilliant set of photos people talk about for weeks.
5. Get the images online quickly so guests can relive the night and share their favourites while the party’s still fresh in everyone’s mind.

Perfect for kids and grown-ups

For children’s parties it’s hard to beat. Picture your child’s face when they see a photo of themselves stood next to their favourite character or pop star. It keeps them entertained and gives every little guest a present to take home. For grown-up celebrations it lands just as well: milestone birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas parties and office dos all get a lift from a backdrop that suits the occasion and a print everyone wants a copy of.

Whatever the age, the format is the same. Pick a background, strike a pose, and walk away with a photo in your hand.

Themed, printed and shareable

We carry a wide range of backgrounds and will match one to your theme, so the photos feel like part of the party rather than a generic bolt-on. Everything prints on the spot as a keepsake, and we can drop the images into an online gallery afterwards so guests keep sharing them long after the last one’s gone home. And if you fancy editing in a few extra touches once the night’s over, the photos are yours to play with.

One of the nicest things about a green screen at a party is the way it pulls everyone together. Shy guests who’d never normally pose end up piling in with a prop in hand, groups of friends compare their backgrounds, and the kids treat the whole thing like a game. It gives the night a natural focal point, somewhere people drift back to between the dancing and the food, and it sends everyone off with a memento rather than just a hazy memory of a good time.
