How to Frame Photo Booth Pictures: 4 Simple Ideas

The photo booth is often the life of the party. There’s just something about a photo booth: people relax and you capture more candid photos. But how do you frame photo booth prints?

Really, the options are nearly limitless, with professional-style print framing to DIY creations. Here, we have five budget-friendly framing ideas for photo booth prints from parties, celebrations, and events.

1. Plain paper frame for photo booth pictures

Sometimes, the best photo booth picture frame is the simplest. So why not go with a simple paper frame? Display on your desk, hang on the wall (with a thumb tack or picture hanging strips), or show it off on your fridge with some magnets.

But why put your photo booth print in a frame rather than just on its own? Simple: if left out, the print will eventually curl. And we don’t want that! A simple frame—even a lightweight paper frame—will help preserve your print.

A few more reasons a paper frame is perfect for framing photo booth pictures:

Budget-friendly giveaway. Great as a party favor (buy in bulk) or buy just one for yourself.
Blank frames for DIY event activity. For kids and adults alike! Decorate with stickers, markers, gel pens, stamps, or—if you’re brave—glitter.

2. Blank photo folders for 4×6 photo booth prints

These are perfect if you have a photo booth template with colorful graphics, either to match the theme, the décor, or the branding. With a blank photo booth folder, the cover folds over to protect the print inside the picture frame.

Photo folders are great photo booth party favors because:

The cover is designed to protect the print from fingerprints and drink spills
The photo folder is lightweight but sturdy enough to keep your print from getting creased

Here’s how photo folders work:

3. Custom photo folder with event branding or theme

Really want to go all-out? Then do it! Add your logo, branding, wedding monogram, your event message. Design it to match the event theme. It’s your event, your theme; run wild with it!

We offer foil stamped and printed photo folders and frames. The most popular photo folder for photo booth prints are printed. It’s a fast option for inserting prints into the folder or frame at the party.
