Don't Default To A Photo Booth
This depends on the party and the occasion. If you’re hosting an Oscar’s viewing party at home, having a tongue and cheek “red carpet” and backdrop as a stylistic nod to the festivities is cheeky, but for any random Saturday night dinner party at home with friends, that might feel a tad contrived. A floral wall as a backdrop for a wedding rehearsal dinner might feel appropriate in certain settings, but at home, it’s probably downright silly. Think about your occasion and whether it calls for a grander statement or something more low-key, and let that guide your staging.
