Photobooths, or super photogenic graduation party backdrops, are becoming more and more popular for high school graduation parties. Who doesn’t want an Instagram ready photo studio for all of their friends and family to enjoy?

This post shows you how to find the absolute perfect graduation party backdrop. Yep, you’ll be able to find one that’s in your price range, that you can DIY easily, or that takes care of the work for you. One more piece of decor sorted out and done! 

GRADUATION PARTY BACKDROP

1. SIMPLE FOIL

This graduation party backdrop is almost as simple as they get. Plus, they’re so cute! This tinsel like background comes in a variety of colors, making sure it’ll match every theme. A great option for this backdrop is to hang it on a blank wall, or attach it to a sheet that will be hung up on a stand. 

2. SEQUIN CURTAIN 

Here is another great backdrop idea that takes the tinsel option above up a notch. This backdrop provides a little more structure since it is one solid piece, allowing you to hang it on a backdrop stand on its own. 

3. SILVER CARPET WALK

This combination of a silver glitter curtain and a balloon garland is seriously perfection. Balloon garlands are surprisingly easy to assemble, too! The balloon garland linked above comes with everything you need to create the garland that you see in the picture. 

4. UTILIZE WOOD PALETTES 

Wood palettes make such a cute graduation party decoration. I love how this person made it into a simple graduation party backdrop by adding the balloon garland and balloons in the number of the graduation year. 

5. FOR BOOK LOVERS

This graduation party photo booth idea is probably as unique as they come. The photos taken in front of this backdrop have to be absolutely amazing! You can find a lot of books to help assemble this graduation party backdrop from thrift stores. If you don’t want to use actual books, we linked some faux antique paper above for you to decorate to your hearts content.

Custom hashtags are a fantastic addition to any graduation party photo booth idea. This backdrop integrates your custom hashtag perfectly! We love how well the metallic gold looks on top of the green leaves. Plus, this is a super easy graduation party backdrop to put together. 

7. PRE-ASSEMBLED FLOWER WALL

Not the super crafty type? This is the ultimate backdrop for you! This beautiful flower backdrop comes completely pre-assembled, leaving you with little work to do. 

8. PARTYGOERS LOVE THIS ONE

Take elements from a New Years Eve celebration and throw them right into your graduation party! Gold and black is a great color combination for a graduation party theme, too! 

9. JUST ADD BALLOONS

Here’s another graduation party backdrop that uses palettes. We love how these palettes are painted white, to create a nice and clean background. If you don’t have rustic elements as part of your graduation party theme, but you want to utilize wood palettes that you may have, painting them white or another color to match your graduation party theme is a fantastic way to still put them to good use. 

10. BALLOON FRENZY

If you’re looking for a graduation party backdrop that may take some time, but is worth the results, this is the one for you. Different sized balloons make up a super textured backdrop that is absolutely adorable in photos.
