Photobooth Ideas for World Emoji Day
Smiley emojis!
Every July 17th, people around the world celebrate World Emoji Day — a lighthearted holiday dedicated to those tiny icons that say so much! Hosting an event for World Emoji Day is a creative way to bring friends, co-workers, or your community together for some laugh-out-loud fun. And what better way to capture those silly moments than with an emoji-themed photobooth? Here are some playful ideas to make your photos as expressive as your favorite emojis!
1. Build a Bright Emoji Backdrop
Set the mood with a bold, colorful backdrop packed with giant emoji cutouts. Smiley faces, hearts, sunglasses, and tears-of-joy emojis make the perfect background for fun, shareable photos. For extra flair, hang emoji balloons or add speech bubbles so guests can pose “inside” a conversation.

2. Emoji-Filled Props
Props are a must for World Emoji Day! Stock your booth with handheld emoji paddles, cardboard emoji masks, or headbands with emoji icons on springs. Add signs with popular text phrases like “LOL,” “OMG,” or “BFF” to keep things lively. The sillier, the better — guests will love acting out their favorite emoji moods.
3. Add a DIY Emoji Craft Station
Take the fun up a notch by letting guests create their own emoji props! Provide blank paddles, markers, and emoji stickers so they can design an emoji that matches their mood. Once they’re done, they can strike a pose with their custom creation.
4. Encourage Group Shots
Emojis are all about expression and connection — so invite everyone to pose together! Whether it’s families, friends, or co-workers, bigger groups mean more laughter (and more emojis in one photo).
5. Share the Smiles
Make it easy for guests to keep the fun going. Offer instant prints they can take home or set up a digital gallery so they can post their best emoji poses online. Add a custom hashtag for your event to keep the conversation rolling on social media.
