Every guest takes home their own face in a Christmas bauble. The Photo Baubles Experience runs on standard Surrey FaceBooth hardware — pair it with the Selfie Pod, Retro Pod, Vintage Photo Booth, Digital Photo Booth or any of our other supported pods — and turns each booth photo into a tree-ready decoration. Guests pose, the photo prints on the spot, and our team member fits it inside a clear bauble finished with a ribbon, assembled in front of them and handed over the same evening.
This is an attended experience — a Surrey FaceBooth team member runs the booth throughout and assembles every bauble as the prints land. Indoor, or covered outdoor on a solid level surface. Booked across Surrey, London, Kent and UK-wide.
Why we built this experience
Photo strips get pocketed and forgotten. A bauble gets hung — and then it comes back out of the decorations box every single December. That's the whole idea: a photo booth keepsake with an annual comeback. At office Christmas parties the baubles double as favours and place settings; at venue parties guests hang them on the tree as the night goes on, so the tree slowly fills with faces and the booth becomes a live feature of the room; at family gatherings they're the decoration grandparents actually ask for.

How a Photo Baubles session actually runs
- Quote and book — drop your event date, postcode and guest count into the instant quote, confirm with a deposit, and tell us your host booth choice.
- On the day, before guests arrive — we turn up 30–60 minutes before your event start time, set up the host booth, test the camera and printer, and get the bauble station ready before doors open.
- Guests use the booth — step up, pose for the camera, and watch the print go straight into a clear bauble finished with a ribbon. Our team member assembles it in front of them and hands it over.
- Hang it or take it home — baubles go straight onto the venue tree as the night goes on, or home with the guest, ready for their own tree.
- Digital sharing — guests scan the QR code on the screen, or share by email / SMS / AirDrop straight from the booth.
- After the event — we pack down and send the host a branded online gallery of every photo from the night, ready to share with guests.
Where the experience works best
- Office and corporate Christmas parties — baubles as favours, place settings and desk decorations that resurface every December
- Venue Christmas parties — guests hang their baubles on the venue tree through the night, and the filling tree becomes a feature of the room
- Winter weddings — a festive twist on the favour table, and a decoration the couple's tree gains every year
- Family Christmas gatherings — the keepsake grandparents actually ask for
- Christmas markets, fairs and community events — a queue-friendly attended experience with a take-home moment built in
- Festive brand activations — a giveaway that reappears on customers' trees every year
Why guests remember it
The bauble is the point. Guests watch their own photo go into it at the booth — there's a genuine reveal moment when the print lands inside and the ribbon goes on — and then it becomes the one piece of the party that comes back out every Christmas after. For hosts it's favours, place settings and tree decorations rolled into one hire; for guests it's the photo booth keepsake that never ends up in a drawer.
