What is in this collection

The signature scene is an ivory, champagne and gold balloon crescent with white orchids framing a large gilded key, with gift boxes and champagne coupes. Glam sets include a giant gold birdcage with a blush velvet swing inside and a curved black lacquer bar with a champagne tower and backlit decanters. Nightlife sets include an ice bar glowing pink and violet, a nightclub DJ booth in front of a violet LED wall, a red velvet wall with neon heart, diamond, club and spade outlines, and a red and black harlequin panel wrapped with balloons. For a jet-set feel there is a yacht's teak stern deck at sunset and a private jet cabin with cream leather seats and clouds through the windows, and for a relaxed evening, a fairy-lit garden tree with rugs and floor cushions.

21st birthday photo booth backgrounds

For a party booth, the bars and club sets work best as 21st birthday photo booth backgrounds: guests stand on a clear floor in front of the champagne tower, the ice bar or the neon card suits. The key, the birdcage, the yacht and the jet cabin make good 21st birthday photography backgrounds for a portrait of the birthday guest, and the square crop keeps the key or cage whole for invitations. For a casino or Las Vegas theme, the neon card wall and harlequin wall also sit in casino; for more black and gold, see black and gold birthday; and for a club night, nightlife.

Tips for using these scenes

  • Give the guest of honour the key or the cage. The gilded key crescent and the gold birdcage swing frame one to three people, and the birdcage has a seat inside, so the birthday guest can sit on the swing.
  • Use the bars and decks for friends. The champagne bar, the ice bar, the DJ booth, the neon card wall, the harlequin wall, the yacht deck and the garden tree fit four to six people.
  • Respect the floor. The casino and club sets have glossy black floors that reflect, so add a faint reflection or a soft dark shadow under feet. The ice bar and DJ booth are cool; the yacht, jet cabin and champagne bar are warm.

Frequently asked questions

Why is there a key in a 21st birthday scene?

In the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand a 21st was traditionally the day you were given "the key of the door", and a key is still a popular 21st symbol. The gilded key crescent uses it without any number, so it also suits other glam birthdays.

Do the scenes show the number 21?

No. The gilded key does the job of the number and there is no text anywhere, so put "21" and the name in your booth print template, or have guests hold number balloons.

Which 21st scenes have a seat?

The private jet cabin with cream leather seats, the yacht deck with a curved sofa, the garden tree with floor cushions and the gold birdcage with a swing. The bar, club and casino sets are standing scenes.
