Fifty is a big one, and Tracey celebrated it in style. On Saturday 24 October, she turned her Redcliffe backyard into a black and gold party venue, and invited us along to bring the photo booth.
🌧️ The Rain Finally Stopped
It had rained for nearly a week before the party, and with everything set up outdoors, there was plenty of sky-watching in the lead-up.
Then, on the night, the rain finally let up. Perfect timing for a backyard celebration. ☀️
⛺ A Backyard Fit for a 50th
Tracey didn’t spare any expense. She had two large marquees set up in the backyard, giving her guests plenty of room to eat, drink, dance and, of course, visit the photo booth.
Marquees are a great option for home parties: they keep everyone covered whatever the weather does, and they give a backyard a real event feel.
🖤 Black & Gold Cocktail Attire
The dress code was black and gold cocktail attire, and the guests went all in: sequins, gold dresses, sharp black outfits and plenty of sparkle. It made for some seriously glamorous photos.
📸 Our Setup: The Glow Up Booth
Tracey booked our Glow Up Booth package, with the Vintage Audio Guest Book added on.
The setup included:
- A premium DSLR photo booth with studio-quality lighting
- Our Lights Foggy Night premium backdrop, with warm, glowing string lights that suited the black and gold theme perfectly
- A props table for extra fun
- Instant digital sharing, so guests could send their photos straight to their phones
- A custom black and gold photo frame reading Tracey’s 50th Birthday
- Our Vintage Audio Guest Book, so guests could leave Tracey a birthday voice message
🎉 The Night in Numbers
Tracey’s guests barely gave the booth a break. Over the night, it captured:
- 155 sessions
- 289 photos
- 10 videos
- 126 shares, almost all of them sent straight to phones by SMS
☎️ Messages for the Birthday Girl
The Vintage Audio Guest Book gave guests a fun way to leave Tracey a personal message. They picked up the vintage phone, recorded their birthday wishes, and Tracey can listen back to every one of them long after the party.
