Birthday Party Photo Booths

Once upon a time, if you wanted a photo booth for your kids' parties, you had to rent one from a professional. Then, creative people everywhere figured out you didn't need an actual booth to have a photo booth. And so began the tradition of designing backdrops, props and decorative photo-op settings where guests could pose for the camera at any event.

If you're looking for ideas for your next kids' party, get inspired by these 10 fun photo booth ideas.
