2x6 vs 4x6 Photo Booth prints: Which one fits your event best?
When you book Alegría Photo Booth for your event, you get more than just a camera and a backdrop. You get prints that guests will want to keep long after the music fades and the lights dim. But before the first photo snaps, there’s one small choice to make — do you want 2x6 photo strips or 4x6 prints?
Both are popular at weddings, quinceañeras, corporate events, and community gatherings across Oregon. Both give your guests something fun to take home. The best choice depends on your event’s style, your guests, and what kind of keepsake you want to share.
In this blog, we’ll walk through each option and help you figure out which print fits your celebration best.
Understanding the difference is important
4x6: If you’ve ever held a postcard, you already know the size of a 4x6 print. These prints are larger and give more room to show off details — whether it’s a single photo or a collage of shots. The layout can be either landscape or portrait, depending on the look you want. Guests usually appreciate the size too, big enough to make an impression, small enough to tuck into a bag without folding.
2x6: These strips are the classic look people trust and love. Typically they include three photos in a slim design that brings a touch of vintage nostalgia.
The layout is always vertical, making it easy to slip into
a guestbook or use as a book mark.
Why Choose 2x6 Photo Strips?
2x6 photo strips are the classic choice for photo booths — and for good reason.
Nostalgic and Iconic: They evoke a sense of classic photo booth fun and are instantly recognizable.
Easy to carry: Guests can slip strips into their wallets, use as bookmarks, or hang on their refrigerator without hassle.
Great for guestbooks: Strips fit neatly into photo guestbooks, allowing guests to have more space for writing a sweet message alongside it.
Why Choose 4x6 Photo Prints?
4x6 prints give you more room to showcase both the photos and your event details.
Here’s why many hosts pick them:
Larger size, bigger impact: The postcard-style print stands out and gives guests a bigger photo they’ll want to display or frame.
Flexible layout options: You can choose a single large photo, or a collage of 2-4 photos
More room for custom designs: Whether it’s a logo, event message, or decorative elements, the extra space makes it easy to include these without crowding the photos.
Crisp detail visibility: The larger print size makes faces, outfits, and backgrounds sharper and more noticeable in each shot.
