What is a Custom Touch-to-Start Screen & How to Get One for Your Event

Your event is all about the details—the little touches that make it feel uniquely you. One of those details? A custom touch-to-start screen for your photo booth! This is the first thing guests see when they walk up to take their photos, setting the tone for an elevated, seamless experience.

So, what exactly is a touch-to-start screen, and how can you make it your own? Let’s break it down!

What is a Custom Touch-to-Start Screen?

A touch-to-start screen is the welcome screen displayed on your photo booth before guests begin their session. Instead of a generic start screen, you can customize it to match your event’s aesthetic and personal style. Think of it as the first impression of your photo booth—something that instantly connects with your theme and adds a polished, professional touch.

With Neon Flamingo Photo Booth, you have three ways to personalize your touch-to-start screen:

1. We Create It for You

   Love a cohesive, beautifully designed experience but don’t want to worry about the details? We’ll take care of it! Our team will design a custom screen that complements your chosen photo template and event colors. Trust us to make it look amazing while keeping everything perfectly on-brand.
   

2. Submit a Photo

   Have a specific image you want to use? You can submit a high-quality photo, and we’ll set it as your touch-to-start screen. Just make sure it meets the following guidelines:

   • Size: 2048px × 2732px (or a 3:4 aspect ratio)

   • Composition: The bottom ¼ of the image should be free of important details, as buttons will be placed over this area.

   • Cropping: If the photo doesn’t match the required aspect ratio, it may be cropped to fit the screen.
     

3. Submit a Video

   Want to take things up a notch? Use a video instead of a static image! Your event’s branding, a short welcome message, or a subtle animated effect can make a stunning first impression. Here’s what you need to know:

   • Size: 2048px × 2732px

   • File Limit: Must be under 5MB

   • Composition: Like with photos, the bottom ¼ of the video should remain clear to avoid buttons covering key elements.

Your event is a reflection of you, and every detail should feel intentional. A custom touch-to-start screen:
