Have you ever asked yourself, is photo booth one word or two? When it comes to spelling the name of fun and instant-picture-taking kiosks that are now popular at parties, weddings, and events, there seems to be a bit of a debate. Is it “photobooth” or “photo booth”? Here’s our take on this:
Photo Booth: This is the traditional and commonly accepted spelling. With two separate words, many view it as the most formal and correct form. Dictionaries often list it this way, as it clearly separates the function (“photo”) from the location or object (“booth”).
Photobooth: This combined form has gained traction in recent years, especially in social media. It’s a more compact version, often seen in casual contexts. While it’s not technically correct in formal writing, it’s increasingly popular in marketing, event planning, and among younger audiences.
Is photo booth one word or two for Smilen.nl? We mostly use “photobooth” in everyday life, but we also remember how our industry began and that is why it is “Photo Booth” in our logo. 🙂
In any case, whether you’re spelling it one way or the other, there’s no mistaking the fun and excitement that one of our photobooths can bring to your event!
