Birthday Backdrop Considerations
A well thought out birthday backdrop definitely plays a crucial role in setting the tone and creating a joyous atmosphere. These backdrops serve as a visually appealing background for photos, and helps to capture special moments from the celebration. Whether it’s a simple family gathering or an extravagant party, the right birthday backdrop can enhance the overall aesthetic and make the event more memorable.
Here are some things to consider when you are choosing or designing birthday backdrops:
- Have a Theme:
- Decide on the overall theme of the birthday celebration before selecting a suitable backdrop. For example, a specific colour, cartoon or a custom theme.
- Bright and vibrant colours are great for birthday backdrops since they create a lively and cheerful atmosphere.
- Type & Material:
- Choose between an arch, circular or rectangular backdrop to complement the chosen theme.
- Choose a material that suits the setting and purpose of the backdrop. Popular choices include arch foam boards, curtains, tinsel or sequin backdrops.
- Consider adding other props such as floral arrangements, helium balloon bouquets, or other accents to make the backdrop stand out.
- Customisation:
- Discuss with your event planner for the option to make a customised board if you require special designs.
- Consider using photos on the backdrop boards to form a collage-style backdrop that tells a story of the person’s journey.
- Personalised backdrops add a unique touch to the celebration. By incorporating the birthday person’s name, age, or significant details into the backdrop design, it makes that particular backdrop special to that individual.
- Versatility:
- Select a backdrop that can be used for various purposes during the birthday celebration.
- For example, get a backdrop that works well for both the cake-cutting moment and group photos.
- Size and Placement:
- Decide exactly where the backdrop should be placed after determining the overall venue space.
- Thereafter, decide on the size of the backdrop based on the dedicated space and the number of people that will be in the photos. A backdrop with a longer width may be necessary for bigger groups so as not to block the backdrop.
- Lighting Considerations:
- Keep in mind the lighting conditions of the venue when selecting colours for a backdrop.
- Bear in mind that the actual colours chosen for the backdrop might differ in pictures due to various lighting conditions.
- Transportation and Setup:
- If the celebration is at a venue, consider the ease of transporting and setting up of the backdrop.
- Alternatively, if you engage a professional event decorator, be sure to check if set up, delivery and collection is included in their package prices.
Remember, the goal of a birthday backdrop is beautify birthday celebrations. Whether its a simple or elaborate design, choose one will elevate the overall ambience. Make sure to not clutter or crowd out the entire space such that guests feel uncomfortable.
