Black White and Gold 40^th Birthday Party with Printable Photo Booth Props

A few months ago I went to my neighbor’s surprise 40^th birthday party. They are such amazing people that I wanted to do something special. I decide to help by making a photo backdrop and photo booth props. If you have a friend named “Brad” you will also be happy to know I have a special printable just for you. Here is my black white and gold 40^th birthday party with printable photo booth props.

This party was an evening cocktail party so we placed votive and floating candles in cylinder vases as centerpieces.

I also framed some of the printables I designed (get them for free below) and placed them on the tables in black and white frames.

Making the Photo Booth Backdrop

Since I live down the street, I built a 6-foot-tall wooden frame on wheels to use as the backdrop and simple wheeled it over to their back yard. I draped and pinned black table clothes around the frame. On the front, I made a black, white, and gold balloon arch using a combination of safety pins, string, and tape to hang it all up.

I placed the photo booth props on tables next to the backdrop in vases.

40^th Birthday Party Photo Booth Props

I made different photo booth props and glued them to glittered card stock, using paper straws and sticks.

They say:

• +/- 40 and Fabulous!
• 40
• Who are these people?
• Don’t tag me in this photo!
• Drank too much.
• Didn’t drink enough.

Use your own different colored card stock to match your party theme.

Brad is Rad Photo Booth Props

I also made photo booth props personalized to the guest of honor.

They say:

• Brad is rad.
• Don’t be dumb. B-RAD
• This is Brad. He is rad.
• #BeRad
• Happy 40th Brad

The photo booth was a definite hit. It broke the ice for some, and created lots of laughs and fun memories.
