Here Are Some of Our Favorite Photo Booth Setups with Neon Signs:

💡 Why Neon Signs Work So Well

They do more than light up the wall—
They tell your story. Whether it’s your new last name, a favorite phrase, or something cheeky like “Let’s Party,” a neon sign makes your booth feel like you. That personal touch? It makes every photo feel more connected to the celebration.

They show up beautifully in photos—
Even in black and white. Even with glam filters. Even in the dark. Neon signs have that crisp, consistent glow that adds just the right pop—without overpowering your guests.

And yes—we’ll handle the setup.
When clients bring their own neon signs, we’re happy to hang them for you. We attach them directly to our pillow-top backdrops so they sit smooth and secure (no drooping wires or awkward angles here). We also use dimmers to adjust the brightness so it looks amazing on camera—bright enough to glow, soft enough to flatter.

Want it above the booth? Centered behind you? We’ll make sure it fits the vibe and the frame.

📏 So... What Size Should You Get?

We get this one a lot. While every event is different, here’s the sweet spot:

  • 30–36 inches wide = perfect for most 6–8 ft backdrops

  • One line = safer for staying fully in frame

  • Bold or simple script fonts = easiest to read, even in group shots

Want to go a little bigger? Go for it. Just know your booth type and how wide the frame goes. (SELFIE Booth = up close. PRO Booth = wider shots.)

  • Better Together

  • Let’s Party

  • All You Need is Love

  • Drunk in Love (you know who you are)

Your guests will walk over because the booth looks inviting. They’ll take more pictures because it feels fun.

So if you’re thinking about adding a neon sign to your photo booth backdrop—this is your sign. ✨
