Backdrops are the newest trend for parties and events, but have you ever wondered how big are backdrops? In this post we will get into the details of party backdrops and discuss and explain, how and why they are how they are.
Backdrops come in all shapes and sizes and uses, some of which can be defined below.
The Party Backdrop
The party backdrop is generally used to bring the wow factor to an event. Its typical purpose is to complement the decor and theme of the party, while acting as a backdrop for all the nights major photos.
These can come in all shapes and sizes but will typically range from 1-2m in width for a standard backdrop. There is no right or wrong size for your party backdrop, however there are some pros and cons when decided on how big or small you want to make it.
We recommend your party backdrop to be at least 3m in width. The reason we recommend this width is purely so your friends and family don’t cover your backdrop when taking your precious photos. See below this image by Ethos Events is one of our smaller set-up.


The Centrepiece Backdrop
Want to add a special touch to your event without worrying about all the decor and decorations? Just add a fabulous backdrop centrepiece to your event and forget about the decor. Here is The Last Disco Backdrop, a backdrop that worked all the magic at Sammy’s Hens night in Melbourne CBD. This gorgeous and sparkly thing did all the work for fabulous videos and was a magical addition to the back of the girl’s photos.
This beauty measures at 4m in width and 2m at its highest point, just the perfect size to make sure theres a bit of sparkle in everyone’s photos.


The Showstopper Backdrop
If you want to make a real big impression, we would definitely recommend a show stopping backdrop. A Ethos Events we are inspired to create unique backdrops that are one-of-a-kind and hard to replicate. Something like our Fairy First Birthday Backdrop is what we would call a showstopper. 4-5m in width this backdrop acts almost as a stage for your party theme. Your videos and photos become instantly magical with this backdrop in its midst and people posing in front of it doesn’t cover the entire backdrop.
This show stopper measures at 5-6m in width (it can be condensed a little if you’re tight on space) and has a total height of 2.2m (WOW)
