The differences between Metallic and Satin Gold Foil is both subtle and unmistakable. Allow us to explain.
Metallic Gold Foil Stamping
Metallic Gold Foil is our most popular foil color. It’s classic, it’s recognizable, and it works with pretty much any branding and design. Here’s why people choose metallic gold foil:
Highly reflective
Catches light really well
Great for small, detailed imprints
A classic foil stamped look

Does Metallic Gold Foil look better on Black or White?
It all depends on what you’re looking for. Gold foil on black really pops. While gold on white is a bit more subtle, it still catches the light to create a truly stand-out piece.

Satin Gold Foil Stamping
While Satin Gold Foil is used less than metallic, it’s no less impressive.
Shines, but is more subtle than metallic
Has a modern, upscale look
Recommended for larger imprints
Popular foil color for weddings

Does Satin Gold Foil look better on Black or White?
There is a noticeable difference in Satin Gold on Black versus White. On black, it really stands out. The shine is still subtle, but there is great contrast between gold and black. There is less contrast on white, but the Satin Foil lends a really upscale appearance.

We recently talked with Jess Santos, owner of CaptureME Photo Booth in Colorado, about what couples should look for when renting a wedding photo booth, what questions to ask, what to expect, and more.
If you’re looking for a wedding photo booth rental, read Jess’s answers first! She provides insights that only someone who really knows this business can provide.
Read on to learn what questions to ask when hiring a photo booth for your wedding.
Why have a photo booth at the wedding alongside a traditional photographer?
Jess: Photo Booths can be an icebreaker which can help get your party going. Not everyone loves the traditional photographer who roams around taking styled and posed photos. However, you add some silly outfits and signs with the funniest saying on them and even grandpa will join in the fun. A photo booth allows your guests to let loose and be themselves. Plus our photos double as a guest favor and everyone loves instant prints.
Key takeaways: Photo booths provide a casual, relaxed photo experience, plus everyone gets pictures to take home from your wedding.
What questions should couples ask when renting a photo booth?
Jess: Always ask to see their output and event setup photos. Ask what equipment they are using and have an idea on what you’re looking for. Do you want a digital iPad Booth or a Booth with a DSLR Camera and Studio flash? Look for quality work when sorting out vendors. Be picky but keep in mind that quality does cost, but it doesn’t cost an arm and and leg. Don’t rush to book. Ensure you’re booking the right vendor who’s right for you and can provide the level of service you’re expecting to receive.
Key takeaways: There’s a difference in photo booth equipment and service; ask about it! Make sure their photo portfolio meets your expectations.
Do any of your clients have regrets after renting your booth?
Jess: We have an average of 75% referral rate. Most times my clients say they didn’t book enough time. No one ever books enough time, they are worried about budgets. I’ve also been told, “I wish I would have taken more photos.” We do our best to make sure the guest of honor makes it to the photo booth. We approach the Bride and or Groom and/or parents of the B&G to let them know where we are at on time and that we still need to get those family photos. We’ll remind them once or twice but if they are too busy or have other activities going on, it’s hard for them to find time to get into the photo booth.
Key takeaways: Either book extra time for your wedding photo booth, or schedule in time to get all the photos you need (ie, family, friend groups).
What’s your most memorable wedding photo booth experience?
Jess: We work a lot of weddings and with our referrals we see a lot of our past clients come through the booth as guests. This one particular wedding we did was 9 months prior and I saw the B&G (now happily married for 9 months) standing in line. They got out of line, came over to give me the biggest hug you could imagine and said, “you made our wedding” “we love the photos and the memory book you created for us” “we look at that book every night.” It means a great deal to me to know that my passion for creating a memorable evening carries on longer than I could ever imagine.
Key takeaways: If you had a fun photo booth experience, let them know! Online reviews are great, or if you see them at another event, go say hi. Feedback helps small businesses thrive and grow.
What was the biggest disaster—and how could it have been avoided?
Jess: Our biggest disaster was setting up outdoors for a large corporate employee appreciation event. I knew 10 days out the weather wasn’t going to be great and that heavy rain was in the forecast. I reached out to the client many times with our concerns over the rain and was told the event is outdoors and the show must go on. I was assured that they had the proper canopies and that we’d be protected from the sun, wind, and/or rain. We arrived ahead of time to set up and when we arrived at our setup location we were provided canopies that were old with holes everywhere. I set up knowing this was not going to end well and within minutes of go time the rain was pouring down on us. There were no side walls to the canopies so rain was coming at us from all directions, including above us. Our equipment, the booth, printer, backdrop, props, basically everything was soaked. We no longer set up outdoors without a weather clause and a weather clause has to be signed prior to booking.
Key takeaways: Even if the weather forecast says sunny skies, have a back-up plan! Make sure you discuss this with the photo booth team before your event so everyone is on the same page. Like Jess has, ask about a weather clause.
How have you used Studio Style products with your booth?
Jess: We use Studio Style folders as part of our advertising. We include a logo, a QR code to our website, our contact information and a “thank you” for visiting our photo booth which is included on the folders. This is a small expense and a great way to keep our logo, name, and business out in the general public. It’s cost effective as most clients keep their folders since they keep their photos in them.
Key takeaways: We love making photo booth folders for CaptureME! Check out a recent design we created:

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.

Christmas photo booth folders with event logos and branding printed on the front covers.
Many event planners opt for completely custom photo folders with their brand design if one of our themed designs doesn’t fit their look.
This is a nice gift option for event hosts, the married couple, guests of honor, or maybe everyone! Custom mat board frames for photo booth prints are an upscale gift option. If you make 4″ x 6″ prints, we have some picture frame mats to accommodate.
If you make 2″ x 6″ prints, you’ll need a custom picture frame mat—but the end result will wow. Interested? Let’s talk custom picture mats.

So many school memories… which photo frames should you use to frame school pictures?
We’re here to help you break apart that mystery, and give examples of how teachers, PTAs, and booster groups use paper picture frames and school photo mounts.
Let’s dig in and learn about cardboard school photo mounts.
How to frame school portraits from picture day
The kids get all dressed up (usually) and do their hair (usually), so let’s give them that luxe framing option. And this is something that could be tied to a fundraising event.
Offer picture frame mats—either on their own or with the frame—with the school mascot imprinted on the mat. It’s a professional framing option that will protect the print, add a bit of elegance, and it just looks nice, whether displayed on the desk, the mantle, or hanging on the wall.
Whether you’re looking to frame memory mates, player portraits, or candid photos from field day, we have ideas that will suit any need, any budget.
If you’re looking to frame 8″ x 10″ Memory Mates, you have options: a sturdy paper photo folder to get the print home and store it OR a sturdy cardboard picture frame (below).
But if you have other school sports photos to frame, we have some more colorful options. One of our most popular school photo mounts is a custom printed photo folder, complete with the school mascot, colors, and maybe even some photos.
Here’s why cardboard photo folders for school sports pictures are so popular:
The photo folder cover protects from fingerprints
Sturdy cardstock material protects the print in the backpack
A fun, colorful way to get the photo to parents or grandparents
Custom sports photo print holder with school mascot printed and die-cut on the folder pocket. Learn about custom photo folders.
How to frame academic awards ceremony certificates and photos
Don’t just give students the paper award. Give it to them in a sturdy paper or cardboard certificate frame. Make it fun by adding your school crest, mascot, or slogan, or keep it simple by ordering blank award frames.
How teachers can use paper frames in the classroom
Want to roll a craft and gift idea into one? Have your kiddos decorate some paper frames. Draw with crayons, markers, colored pencils, stickers, or stamps. We recommend not using water colors or paints; that can warp the paper.
You might be asking yourself: are DIY school picture frames really popular?
Absolutely! DIY picture frames made at school are such a sweet, simple gift for parents or grandparents.
Teachers can integrate this activity into their curriculum for the hands-on portion. Have students draw what they’ve been talking about. Blank paper frames are popular for this, or the school can order paper frames in bulk for all the teachers to use. Add the school mascot for a school-wise coloring event!
Color on any of our white picture frames or photo folders with markers.
How to present and display Student of the Month photos
Show off your Star Students! Display their photo for the month or week they are the star student, then send the photo home in a cute frame to display on the family bulletin board, fridge, or even on mom or dad’s desk.
We have you covered. We make paper photo folders and cardboard frames for all sorts of school events and activities. Check out our line at StudioStyle.com or get in touch with someone from our team at (800) 346-3063.
Deciding what to give the kids for camp giveaways can be tricky. Sometimes, it’s a small budget that keeps you from giving what you want. Other times, it’s trying to decide what you can give that ALL the campers will enjoy.
It’s a tough decision. But one thing that almost always works? Picture frames. Here’s why:
Want to be a camp budget hero? Summer camp picture frames made out of paper are an inexpensive giveaway.
If the kids don’t like the frame, we bet the parents or grandparents will love it! It’s a win-win.
Full-color printed frames with summer camp theme
DIY isn’t for everyone. And that’s ok! For those who want an easy summer camp picture frame gift, check out our printed frames.
We can create fully custom printed paper picture frames that make the perfect end-of-camp giveaways for campers—or their parents.
Design it to match the camp theme (or we’ll help!).
Shown: Custom printed picture frame for summer campground. We can make frames like this match your camp theme! Learn more about printed picture frames.
Camp craft: let campers decorate blank picture frames
Decorate with stickers, washi tape, stamps, or scrapbooking embellishments. Or pick up small sticks or leaves and glue them to the frame.
However you choose to let kids decorate, these easy camping picture frame craft is something that parents (or grandparents!) will love as a gift from summer camp.
It’s a craft and camp giveaway in one clever package! You simply design a frame with a coloring book pattern, we’ll print it, and your campers color it in! Crayons works, as do colored pencils. Markers give a vibrant splash of color, but be careful! They can smear easily on the paper frames.
Greeting cards as picture frames… gifts for loved ones
Not a traditional picture frame, photo insert cards can be used as a frame… but first, kids get to send them as a greeting card.
These 5″ x 7″ picture frame cards hold a 4″ x 6″ photo. Have campers write a note inside, and that’s it! These photo insert cards come with envelopes, so they are super easy to mail to loved ones or friends. And once they get the card, they can frame it! The card frame border acts as a simple matting for the photo, so just slide the whole thing in a 5″ x 7″ picture frame.
Take a photo of the camper, mail the card to loved ones from camp. Campers can decorate the card or just write a note inside.
More than just a party, but not a permanent experience, a brand activation is an immersive, interactive experience for consumers to get to know your brand, product, services, or mission. It’s often used for new product launch, rebranding, or to re-engage consumers with your brand.
Sometimes, brand activations are just a one-night party, kind of like a launch party. Other times, it’s a temporary install either at your place of business or somewhere related. And sometimes it’s a cross-country experience.
And a brand activation experience takes more than a party planner to pull this off. You need brand experts, designers (graphic design, interior design, architectural design, you name it). You need a marketing team to advertise the experience and keep it going while it remains open.
And you need someone to record the experience, to help you remember it. That’s where a photo booth comes into play.
1. What’s an event without the pictures?
You spent all the time and money on your event or install, you don’t want people to just forget about it, do you?
It’s that whole “proof or it didn’t happen” idea. Whether you go for a digital booth, virtual booth, or hand out printed photos so event guests can show them off at home or work, photos keep those memories alive.
The pros of a digital photo booth: Guests can instantly share their photo booth pictures to social media. Add a custom hashtag for the activation, and you have some good, lasting brand memory on social media. Also, no printed picture means nothing for guests to have to hold onto at your event; they can print it on their own time.
The pros of a photo booth with printed pictures: Guests get a printed photo from the photo booth to display at home, work, school, wherever. The print will last, and won’t get lost on their phone. But what about social media sharing? you may ask. Create selfie stations, tell them to tag your brand and use a hashtag. While a photo booth can help guests share your brand on social media, they’ll often share it own their own.
2. It’s not just for taking pictures. The photo booth is an experience at your activation.
There’s something about a photo booth where people just let loose and go wild. Throw their inhibitions to the wind (within reason!). Whether you offer custom props, use a branded backdrop, or build a custom photo booth set just for your brand activation, the possibilities are endless—and there are lots of photo booth owners who love working with creative clients who think outside the box.
Think more than just taking a picture. Make the photo booth part of the experience.
Create the custom props. Make a background that makes them says “WOW.” Design a photo set that creates an unforgettable scene.
3. Many photo booth companies offer installs or virtual options
This is the perfect option is you want a photo booth with digital images. The photo booth company will install their photo booth at your location and leave it. If you choose to go this route, be sure to ask the photo booth owner about regular service checks and to make sure their booth is insured for this use.
Don’t want a physical booth at your event? That’s where a virtual photo booth comes into play. A virtual photo booth lets users take their own photo and add a “virtual” frame on their image. These images are really easy for event guests to share on social media. As a bonus, those images they share will have your activation branding on it, giving your brand that extra boost.
4. That photo booth picture is an easy event giveaway
If you’re already adding the photo booth to the event, may as well make the output part of the party package.
Offer printed photos as part of the swag for your activation. Photo booth companies offer templates for their 2×6, 4×6, or 5×7 prints—and often you can design your own branded frame for the print.
Another swag idea is to package the print in photo folders or paper picture frames. It’s an inexpensive addition to your event, but helps create a longer-lasting experience because of the branding potential of these photo booth giveaways.
5. Doesn’t need to take up much space.
You might have such a big install or such little space in general that you think a photo booth won’t fit. Not true!
While you can create an experience with the photo booth, you don’t have to. Many photo booths just need about 2 square feet for the camera (really!) plus space for enthusiastic guests to have their photo taken. Plan for an 8′ x 8′ space.
But there is another option… the handheld roaming photo booth! This requires someone to walk around with the camera (typically an iPad) and take pictures of guests. This option takes up the least amount of space, and as an added bonus, you get to interact with the photo booth attendant (they’re the one who takes the pictures). Roaming photo booths typically offer digital images only.
So are you getting a photo booth for your brand activation?
What activities or events you have at a brand activation? The sky’s the limit. Dream big, or crush it with something smaller but more memorable.
But having a photo booth helps guests capture their memories. It’s a worthwhile investment that will help keep people talking about your brand.
But pictures with Santa have changed. Remember the scene in “A Christmas Story” when Ralph and little brother Randy went to a department store to an elaborate setup with Santa up top and a biiiiiig slide for kids to go down? When’s the last time you saw a setup like that?
While getting your picture taken with Santa might not be as big of an ordeal as it used to be, it’s still very much a thing. But how you have those pictures taken has changed. Santa (and his helpers) don’t wait for you to come find them; nowadays, you’ll find Santa at just about any Christmas event planned during the holiday season.
While you can do a DIY set up to take your own photos with Santa, we have an idea that will give your party guests some fun, memorable prints: hire a photo booth.
Don’t think a photo booth is worth the rental cost? Read on to see why photo booths are such a great idea for getting your picture taken with Santa.
1. Photo booths have been around for a long time… people know how to have fun in them!
Even if the setup a photographer uses is similar to what a photo booth setup looks like, if you call it a photo booth, peoples’ inhibitions seem to dwindle a bit. Throw in some props and you have instant fun! How much fun would your party guests have if the guests and Santa used props in their photo booth pictures?
So if you want some fun, relaxed, candid photos with Santa at your company Christmas party or holiday event, consider a photo booth.
Photo booths often offer a more casual environment than studio portrait setups. Smile how you want, pose how you want, and shoot, give Santa a smooch if you want! Photos by Say Ya! Photo Booth. Visit them on Instagram or Facebook.
2. You can choose a backdrop to match your event décor.
Most photo booth companies have many different backdrop offerings. Some even offer custom designed photo booth backdrops!
But you don’t have to feel limited to just a solid screen. If space, time, and lighting allows, most photo booth companies will let you design your own backdrop—even if that includes Santa’s sleigh! So go on, think big.
The sky’s the limit when it comes to your Santa photo booth setup. Add the sleigh, trees, and a backdrop. Photo by Say Ya! Photo Booth. Visit them on Instagram or Facebook.
For this event, they put a beautifully decorated Christmas tree against a simple red curtain backdrop as vivid as Jolly Old St. Nick’s suit. The sparkling garland and classic white lights add festive holiday flair. Photo by PicBox Photo Booth Company. Visit them on Facebook.
3. You can get printed AND social sharing options.
When it comes to having pictures taken with Santa, most people want the print, and that’s it. And that is perfectly ok!
But what if you want to create an online experience to further the message of your event or brand? That’s where photo booths with social media sharing capabilities come into play.
These photo booths with digital downloads or social sharing options let you share your pictures direct to your social media channel of choice. Shoot, some even offer gifs! The possibilities here are nearly endless. If you choose a photo booth with social media sharing, be sure to have guests tag your company, event, or use a special hashtag so you can follow the experience online.
Be sure to ask around, though, as not all photo booth companies offer the social sharing option.
4. Easier for kids
Let’s face it, some kids get freaked out at the idea of sitting on Santa’s lap. Even if they recognize him as Santa, he’s still a stranger up close.
When it comes to Christmas party photo booths with Santa, you have a few options for getting pictures with the kids.
First, you can take the traditional route of the kid on Santa’s lap or standing next to him. For a lot of kids, this works great. Others… not so much.
In order to keep all the kids (and their parents!) happy, consider creating a photo booth setup for the whole family to enjoy. Wary kids will be more open to participating if mom and dad or their friends are all in the picture with them.
Santa and Mrs. Claus posed with the kids (and their silly glasses!) on a comfy couch with the rest of the family behind them. Photo booths can allow for large setups, meaning the whole family can have their picture taken with Santa. Photo by Shutter Booth Charlotte. Visit them on Instagram and Facebook.
5. You don’t really need Santa.
Gosh, we hope that statement doesn’t put us on the naughty list. But there’s some practicality behind that statement.
If hiring Santa for your Christmas event isn’t in your budget, you still have some great options with photo booths to make it look as though Jolly Old St. Nick was there.
Santa Replacement #1: Backdrops
Back to the topic of backdrops… some photo booths might have a backdrop with Santa on it. So you just pose in front of a picture of Santa and call it a day!
Other photo booth rentals might offer green screens, so you can choose from their library of backgrounds, or perhaps even design your own.
Santa Replacement #2: Props
Every photo booth has props. And most Christmas party photo booth rentals offer Christmas-themed props as part of their package. So while Santa might not be there, maybe you can wear his hat.
If the photo booth doesn’t offer Christmas-themed props, ask them if it’s ok to bring your own. If you go the DIY-route, check out any arts and crafts store or yes, even Target or Walmart.
Santa Replacement #3: Custom Photo Booth Print Design
If you opt for printed photos at your holiday party photo booth, ask the photo booth owner if they offer designs on their prints. Many photo booth companies offer designed prints in their packages. Here’s a bonus: some of them even let you add branding! As always, ask these questions to get the most out of your event budget.
How to find a photo booth for your Christmas party
Need help finding a photo booth near you for your holiday event? Here are three easy ways to find a photo booth near you:
Go to your search engine (ex: Google or Bing) and type in “photo booth near me”. The results will populate with local photo booth businesses for you to research.
Go to Facebook and search for “[your city] photo booth”. Below the search bar, scroll sideways to look for “Pages” and you’ll find a list of pages for photo booth companies.
Go to Instagram, tap the search icon and type in either “photo booth”. Scroll sideways below the search bar and tap on “Places”. Not all of these will be local to you, but many will. Another way to search on Instagram is to search for the name of your city, scroll to “Places,” and tap on the name of your city. This will give you a searchable map. If your local photo booth owners have added their business location, they will appear on this map.
If you’re taking photo booth pictures with Santa, send those prints home in a festive photo folder
At Studio Style, we design and manufacture a full line of photo folders and cardboard frames—and yes, we have LOTS of Christmas designs. Just choose one to go with your event, or design your own. Not sure where to start? We can help! Send us a message or call us at (800) 346-3063.
At Studio Style, we design, manufacture, and personalize a lot of golf tournament photo folders and frames every year. We’ve talked to a lot of golf tournament organizers, and helped them design picture frames for their events.
We see a lot of tournaments with a name, but no theme. It’s usually something like a scholarship fund, alumni raising money for a school, or a memorial event with fundraising dollars going toward research or helping families pay off expensive medical treatments.
But then sometimes we see a theme come through that really catches our eye. Themed golf events often double as fundraisers; the theme just helps make it a little more memorable.
So we’ve dug through our files and found some of the most memorable, most fun, and sometimes most quirky themes for women’s golf events.
Happy planning!

Fundraiser golf event theme ideas for women
If you’re planning a golf fundraising event, you can incorporate any theme you wish. However, there are some plays on words that fit specific fundraisers and awareness events.
Breast Cancer Awareness
Whether your club or group is involved with Play for P.I.N.K. or you’re planning your own event, here are some clever themes for breast cancer awareness fundraising golf events:
There is no way to define a specific list of themes for memorial golf events. However, one clever way to “theme” the event would be to honor the person or group of people the tournament is in memory of.
For example, if they loved watching football, make it a tailgate theme. Were they a glam diva? Incorporate those elements. When planning the event, have a brainstorming session to come up with some ideas as to what that person was passionate about, and what difference they made.

Photo booths had one heck of a ride in the early- to mid-20th century. Toward the later half of the century, they fell out of popularity, being relegated to dusty mall corners.
But the wedding and event planning business brought the booth back—and they brought it back BIG.
Those little photo booth picture strips the machine used to spit out? Photo booth owners still print those, but you can get photo booth pictures printed in so many more sizes: 4″ x 6″, 5″ x 7″, 2″ x 8″, and even 6″ x 20″!
The photo booth business is big, it’s bright, and it has a lot of options for brides, party planners, brand coordinators, and celebration enthusiasts.
Finding a booth is fun, choosing the props is fun, but there’s one thing that some event planners don’t always think about: how your guests are going to get those treasured photo booth pics home with them.
Sure, they could shove them in their purse or pocket, but that could leave the prints wrinkled, torn, or worse, lost.
Good news, we have some fun, affordable solutions for you.
We’re Studio Style, and we make paper photo folders and cardboard picture frames for event and studio photos. And we specialize in serving the photo booth market.

Because, while scrapbooks for photo booths are nice for the bride and groom or party honoree, they do nothing to help your guests get their pictures home.
So we stepped in to provide a practical solution for party planners. Let’s look at some photo booth picture frame options we’ve designed for party planners and photo booth owners.
Photo booth frame option #1: Paper photo folders
Have you heard of photo folders? In case you haven’t, all a photo folder is, is a paper picture frame with a flap that closes over it. Think of it like a picture frame inside a pocket folder. Photo folders are made out of sturdy paper (they’re sometimes referred to as “cardboard photo folders”).
The pros of paper photo folders
The cover protects the photo inside. No cake smudges. No fingerprints. No wrinkling, tearing, or creasing.
Paper photo folders can be printed or foil stamped for even more branding possibilities.
Long story short: a photo folder is the safest way to get photo booth prints home undamaged.
The cons of paper photo folders
Because they have a cover, they aren’t designed to be displayed like a standard photo frame.
To be honest, one con is all we can think of for photo folders vs. photo frames.
One more thing about photo event folders:
Printing has come a long way, and we can easily cut out any window size you need. Want a photo folder for your square photo booth prints? We can do that. 2″ x 8″? 3″ x 7″? We’ve got you covered. Go on, dream big.
Getting the classic 2″ x 6″ picture strips? Yes, we have paper picture folders for those, too!
Photo booth frame option #2: Paper picture frames
When you think of photo frames, we’re going to assume you usually think of the type of frame that can stand up on its own or be hung on a wall. Though photo booth prints aren’t the same as senior pictures or wedding photos, they still deserve a place of honor on your desk or end table.
They have easels that allow for horizontal or vertical display on a desk or table.
Paper is easy to personalize! Add your event details or branding with full-color printing or foil stamping.
Lots of sizes!
4″ x 4″
5″ x 5″
6″ x 6″
4″ x 6″
5″ x 7″
8″ x 10″
8-½” x 11″
The cons of paper picture frames
With paper photo booth print frames, there is no protective surface over the photo, so guests will still have to take care in transporting them home.
Paper frames from Studio Style don’t come with wall hanging tabs. However, since these frames are made out of lightweight paper, you can easily use a pushpin, some decorative tape, or magnets to hang your photos on the wall, the fridge, or even in your locker.
So what kind of paper frames can you get for photo booth pictures?
Studio Style has a few different options for paper photo frames:
14pt white cardstock
Can be printed in full color
Paper is as sturdy as a greeting card
We can make photo booth frames for square prints (4×4, 5×5, and 6×6), as well as 4×6 and 5×7 picture sizes (oh hey, we can also make custom sizes!)
Shown: Custom-designed square print for 4″ x 4″ photo booth pictures. Contact us if you’re interested in square frames.
Cardboard picture frames are sturdier than their paper alternatives, and are often used for higher-end events where full-color branding isn’t necessary. We have both cardboard options and frames made of of layered mat board material.
The pros of cardboard picture frames:
It has a higher-end appearance.
Very sturdy—stands up easily on any surface.
Pop-out easel for desk display PLUS tabs for hanging on a wall.
Cardboard frames for photo booth prints have foil stamped personalization for a classic touch.
The cons of cardboard picture frames:
Cardboard frames cost more per piece than their thinner alternatives (paper frames).
No printing options for cardboard or mat board frames (foil stamped only).
So why choose paper picture frames over acrylic photo booth frames?
The most popular alternative to paper picture frames are acrylic frames or plastic frames.
Here are three good reasons why paper is better than acrylic:
1. Paper is more eco-friendly to make and dispose of. There is a lot of discussion around paper vs. plastic (acrylic is plastic). The general consensus is that paper is generally more eco-friendly than plastic because it takes fewer resources to make, and is made from a renewable resource. A lot of it depends on where you source the paper from (we source our paper from mills that use sustainable forestry methods).
Lastly, if event guests decide to take their pictures out of the paper frames or folders, they can simply place their photo holders in the recycle bin.
2. Paper is so easy to personalize! There are so many options for adding your logo, monogram, or school mascot to paper picture frames. Want it printed in full color? That’s easy. Foil stamped? That’s classy… and easy.
3. Our paper photo booth picture frames are all USA-made. Since we make our photo event folders and frames (we make them in beautiful St. Charles, IL), we have complete control over the quality of the product. We can also get personalized frames to you PDQ.

Just because everyone else throws Daddy-Daughter Dances where the daughters wear semi-formal dresses and the dads wear a shirt and tie doesn’t mean you have to follow suit. We say, have FUN!
Below, we’ve selected some popular themes for parties that could easily be used for your dance. Whether you’re a park district, school, church, or community group, these ideas easily fit within even tight budgets.
And we’re just going to throw it out there, but a photo booth would be such a fun addition to any theme for a Daddy Daughter Dance. We always recommend hiring a pro (their expertise helps make your event run nice and smooth), but if you take the DIY approach, you can use a photo booth app or—if you have some photography expertise—you can set up your own photo booth.
But you’re here for theme ideas for a Daddy Daughter Dance, so let’s go!
Princess
This one might be the most used, but sometimes girls like getting dressed up like a fairy tale princess, or even their favorite Disney princess. Here are some tips to planning a princess-themed Daddy Daughter Dance:
Attire: Girls in princess attire (from any story, TV show, movie, or make-believe). Dads can wear a coordinating shirt color. Bonus points if they match the tie or bow tie!
Games: If the event is in a gym with climbing ropes, dads race to see who can climb Rapunzel’s hair the fastest. Daughters can have horse races (on stick horses, perhaps), or maybe a coloring contest.
Booths: Face painting! Be sure to let the kids choose the art that is painted on their dad’s face. If a face painter is out of the budget, consider a tattoo station with an assortment of temporary tattoos like these glitter princess temporary tattoos or Disney princess temporary tattoos.

Princess Crown Daddy Daughter Dance Photo Folder
This folder frame was designed with a princess theme in mind. Complete with a fairytale pink and gold crown, this design would complement the princess party theme perfectly.
Second to the princess theme is a sports-themed Daddy Daughter Dance event. Why? Dad either likes watching sports or played sports as a kid, and his daughter probably plays sports or at least likes catching a ball or playing soccer with dad. So really, this one makes a lot of sense!
Attire: Professional sports team jerseys, or even your own sports uniform! If some guests aren’t into sports, give them some other attire ideas, like sweats or leggings, plus a comfy t-shirt and tennis shoes.
Games: If the girls are old enough, you could have a friendly game of dodgeball (dads throw underhand). If you can plan an event outside, here are some outdoor kid-friendly sports-themed games you could plan.
Food: Pretend you’re at the ballpark and serve hot dogs, nachos, chips, and popcorn.

Sports Fuji Instax Paper Picture Frame
Know someone with a Fuji Instax camera? DIY your event photos and slip them in this cute little frame so that precious prints make it home safe and sound.
Let’s face it—Harry Potter and Percy Jackson will never really go out of style. The magic of some book series just seem to endure, so why not center your theme around that?
While not every girl might have read the most popular fantasy series, she probably has friends who has. And if dad hasn’t read them, he’s probably at least familiar with them.
Attire: Encourage dads and wizards daughters to dress in their best wizard or fantasy apparel. Dads could dress as knights, a prince, a wizard, or even a court jester. Girls could be a wizard, princess, or even the one and only Hermione Granger.
Games: Do a “Wingardium Leviosa” game. Give all the girls wands (just go on a hunt in your backyard for some nice sticks), and have them point it at dad and say, “Wingardium Leviosa!” When she says it, dad jumps! Measure the height of the jump. The most powerful wizard (and “levitating” dad) wins.
Country Western Hoedown
Well, yee-haw! Whether you live in a dense urban environment or you can hear roosters crowing out the front door, some rustic country flair is always a fun party theme. Whether you call it a Hoedown or a Buckeroo Ball, this one will be fun.
Here’s how to make a country-themed Daddy Daughter Dance work:
Attire: Plaid , checker print, boots, denim, flannel, bibs (or “bibbers,” if you prefer)… you get the idea. Need some inspiration? Think Dorothy and her aunt and uncle from The Wizard of Oz.
Décor: If you can find it (and the venue allows), add some straw bales for some casual seating. Just be sure to throw a blanket over the top—straw can be itchy!
Activities: For an easy ice breaker, have an event leader teach everyone a simple line dance. Some country karaoke would also be fun.

Country Western Printed Photo Folder
This one looks great as shown, but you could add your event name to the front cover. Want a more country-looking font for your personalization than what we offer? Just ask! Our design team is more than happy to help.
Take a trip to the beach! Well, at least pretend you are. Whether you build your own sand pit, or just have some kinetic sand for daughters (and dads) to play with, a beach-themed Daddy Daughter event is a fun idea—and a great reprieve from cold weather if your event is in the winter.
Here are some ideas for planning a beach-themed party:
Attire: Swimsuits might be out of the question if it’s winter, but encourage dads and daughters to wear bright colors, tropical patterns, Hawaiian Luau shirts, sunglasses, and beach hats. For an inexpensive giveaway, consider giving them leis when they arrive at the dance.
Games & Activities: Make colorful sand art in jars, make your own leis, or create a mini beach! Fill a kiddie pool with some sand, and add some beach toys. This would be a great activity for younger kids.
Music: Consider hiring a Hawaiian band to play at your tropical event, or at least a wandering ukulele player to entertain guests for a bit.

Who’s the superhero… dad or daughter? Or both? Whatever the answer, this one is sure to pack a punch with both the dads and their little girls. Whether they want to dress up with the big “S” for Superman or don Wonder Woman’s outfit, girls are sure to love this fun party theme for their Daddy Daughter Dance. We’re pretty sure it’ll be a hit with dads, too.
Attire: Superhero shirts or costumes. Be sure to check with your venue to see if costume accessories are allowed.
Activities: Create your own superhero! Kind of like a cut-out doll, but provide a table with the all the accessories (capes, masks, outfits, etc.), and let them go to town. You can make these out of paper, felt, fabric, or a variety of materials. Decorate with markers, paint, or—if you’re feeling brave—glitter.
Décor: Print out or draw icons of popular superheroes to hang on the walls: Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Spiderman, Captain America. Have an artistic event volunteer? Have them create a superhero icon unique to your event!

Comic Book Photo Folder
POW! This is a folder that even Superman would approve of. Designed in a colorful comic book-style theme, this folder would look great with your Daddy Daughter Dance photos.
Treat those girls and their dads like the stars they are! Roll out the red carpet for this Hollywood-inspired theme. Great for girls of any age.
To make it more “authentic,” set up your photo booth (or just have someone take pictures) when they walk in on the red carpet. Add a backdrop or your choosing. While you could find one online or at a craft store, a DIY photo booth backdrop can be a lot of fun to make.
Attire: Let them dress like their favorite actor or actress, or make it a black tie event.
Food & Drink: While champagne is really out of the question here, why not serve sparkling apple juice or sparkling grape juice? And if you haven’t heard, there is such a thing as gold sugar sprinkles. The perfect topping for cupcakes!

Red Carpet & Hollywood Star Photo Folders
The red carpet party theme is SO popular, we dedicated an entire line to it! Choose an actual red carpet, go black tie, or throw in a little Hollywood art deco.
What to do if dad can’t make it to the Daddy Daughter Dance
If you aren’t sure if dad can make it, be sure to extend the invitation to other adult important to the daughter, including grandfathers, uncles, brothers, or even a close family friend. Scheduling events can be hard on parents, so be sure to let them know it isn’t exclusive to just dads.
What themes have you used?
Daddy Daughter Dances don’t all have to be the same. Add a fun event theme to make it a truly memorable event for dads and daughters.
