How to Setup the Perfect New Year's Eve Photo Backdrop
Step 1: Set Up The Crossbar
Set up the crossbar and place it on the stage where you intend it to stand.
Step 2: Insert the Backdrop
Once the crossbar is set up, you can insert three backdrops of different materials and colors for added depth and design.
You can try our black poly premier fire retardant drape on the center with a silver glitz sequin backdrop on the sides for a shimmering look.
Tip: Iron or steam your panels before putting them on your pipe and drape set. Use a hand steamer once hung for touch-ups.
Step 3: Inflate Balloons
Inflate all the balloons before arranging them. Blow them up to different sizes ranging from large, medium, and small.
The large ones will be used for the base of the entire setup, medium ones for the middle part, and small ones for the accent. You can use white, silver, and gold for variety and to complete the glamorous look.
Tip: Save time on the day of your event by inflating balloons with air the day before.
Step 4: Arrange the Balloons
Arrange the balloons by tying them together. Place the bigger ones at the bottom to hold everything together as a base until it goes all the way up with the smaller ones at the top.
Use a clear fishing wire to tie balloons together for the balloon garland.
For the small accent balloons that you can tie, use a glue gun to stick them to the entire garland.
Tip: Use a low-temperature glue gun to add small filler balloons to any gaps in the balloon garland.
In addition to balloons, other DIY photo backdrop ideas for party photo booths include using paper flowers, paper chains, colored papers, or wrapping papers to make colorful backdrops.
Step 5: Setup Tables
Place cocktails or side tables nearby so guests can place their drinks before taking photos. Dress them up with a combination of a black sequin tablecloth and a silver Payette sequin round 120" tablecloth to match the backdrop.
Tip: Use cocktails or side tables of different heights to create a multi-dimensional look.
Step 6: Top Off With A Neon Sign
Complete the overall setup of your new year's eve photo backdrop by placing a “Let’s Party” neon sign in the middle panel.
