How to Plan an 18th B'Day in Hunter Valley

An 18th sits between two kinds of party. Family want a cake, a speech from a parent and photos with the grandparents; the birthday girl or boy wants friends, music and something that becomes a story the next day. The simplest plan is often to give each its own part of the night, with family early and friends taking over later.

Photobooths Newcastle is a photo booth and party hire company that travels to Cessnock & Wollombi, Pokolbin & Surrounds and Maitland & Lower Hunter. It brings several booth styles: an open DSLR booth, a curtained kissing booth, a mirror booth and 360 video booths. Printing is unlimited and on the spot, with two copies of each photo, one for a guest book and one to take home, which gives older relatives a keepsake and friends something to share.

The same booking can add party extras: slushy and popcorn machines, a lolly cart, balloon garlands and PA speakers, with pricing from $439. For a backyard or hall party, that covers a good share of the setup with one delivery.

Ways to give an 18th a shape:

  • Early: family arrive, the cake comes out and speeches happen while everyone is listening
  • Booth time: the guest book fills with prints from both generations
  • Later: friends take over the music through the PA speakers
  • Late night: the slushy machine and lolly cart keep things going without a second food service

Picking a booth style

  • Open DSLR booth for big group shots
  • Curtained booth for friends who want a bit of privacy
  • Mirror booth or 360 video booth for something different from the classic setup
  • 360 video clips suit guests who would rather share a video than a print

Hosting at home or in a hall

  • Check there is space and power for the booth and the slushy machine
  • Plan where the PA speakers go so speeches can be heard
  • Set a finishing time with the neighbours in mind
  • Balloon garlands can dress a plain room quickly

Questions to ask the hire company

  • How long the booth runs and when it is set up
  • Whether a guest book comes with the prints
  • Which extras can be bundled into one booking
  • Whether your venue is within their travel area
