Parents of teenagers often take part only during the preparation of a home party. Guests of the birthday boy, who is 11-17 years old, want to have fun themselves. It seems to them that it is enough to download a couple of games in the form of applications on a smartphone, and everyone will have fun for 4-5 hours straight. In reality, everything is not so simple, so it is better to prepare simple and effective entertainment for guests in advance.
By the way, we have a program for girls (Photo party in a photo studio) and an offer for a mixed company (everything is similar, but there is no makeup artist, games with a host have been changed and added), which we call Insta-party.
If you are in Moscow, call us and we’ll discuss it.
Here I tried to collect ideas that do not require large financial costs and are easily implementable. It’s fun to come up with ideas, it’s fun to pose, it’s fun to look at it all later.
If you gather a lot of guests, it is better to choose a different program. Insta party is suitable for 3-7 close friends.
What is an Insta-party
This is a house party that teens can host on their own. The point is that the birthday boy and each guest get a maximum variety of photos to post on Instagram. To do this, you need to prepare well in advance so as not to waste time searching for props during the holiday itself. Then there is the opportunity to have a lot of fun, coming up with images, choosing a good angle, creating emotions in the frame along the way, etc.
There is no need to post during the holiday. At home you will be able to select good shots, apply different filters and share with friends.
There are no games or competitions here, but it won’t be boring. Preparation for shooting and the photo shoot itself with humor and imagination - this is the entertainment program of the insta-party.
For great shots, make a list of ideas that best suit your mood, choose backgrounds and accessories. I will begin to collect ideas in this article (I will add them gradually), and I will turn to site visitors for help. One head is good, but the collective mind is capable of more!

Where to get accessories for an Insta party
First , collect in one box all the hats, scarves, sunglasses, bracelets, bags, rolls, beautiful diaries, candles, etc. that you find in your own apartment. You can go around relatives and friends, borrow spectacular wardrobe items.
Secondly , get all the carnival accessories, even if it happens in the summer. With wigs, carnival glasses and even New Year's garlands, you get great photos at any time of the year.
Thirdly , you can buy the cheapest paper caps, cardboard photo props on sticks, disposable stickers for the face and body, Chinese lanterns, etc. in specialized holiday-themed stores.
What could be the background
This is the hardest part! Photos against the background of wallpaper and furniture, if this happens in an apartment, cannot be avoided, but you can try.
Here you can get ideas for creating a photo zone. There are all sorts of simple techniques for making a background from corrugated ribbons and paper garlands.
What else... Help each other! Hold vertically by the two upper corners different backgrounds made of tablecloths, blankets, large stoles and scarves. Place houseplants on multi-level surfaces, choose unusual angles for ordinary objects. When handled correctly, even a simple white shelving unit becomes photogenic!
Let there be light!
Participants of the Instagram party will be filming on smartphones, so you need to take care of additional light sources in advance. The more light, the better the image. Turn on floor lamps, table lamps, find the most illuminated place by the window if the holiday takes place during daylight hours.
Remind each other to face the light source to avoid deep shadows under the eyes in every shot. If there is something like a disco ball with colored highlights, turn it on and place it as close to the photo zone as possible.
I’m not a millionaire blogger, but I want to go to a TikTok house. What to do?
Like any celebrities, popular TikTokers have agents. If producers take on the maintenance and promotion of TikTok house residents (and this can cost up to 1 million rubles per month), then they receive from 10% to 50% of the commission from advertising contracts.
But among those who are yet to reach their first million and get involved with Pepsi or Ozon, TikTok parties are popular. Bloggers rent a loft for a day and make the most of this time to shoot content and network. It turns out to be driving, and no producers dictate their terms.
This is on topic
7 facts about parties in lofts Tips on how to relax 100% in a loft.
Making your own list of ideas
I don't know who your friends are. I don’t know your hobbies, what musical instruments you have at home, what furniture is in the room, what goodies are in the kitchen. I don’t know how developed a sense of humor your guests have. There are no universal tips, I just collected more than 20 ideas.
Perhaps none of what is written below will suit you, but it may well help you to fly with your imagination and create completely new ideas for such a party.
Collective handshake
There are quite a lot of pictures on the Internet with unusual brush grips.
Since friends have gathered, we need to say hello in this wonderful way first. We shoot from above. Make sure that everyone leans back a little, otherwise someone's head will definitely ruin the picture. Any plain background will do. If there are few people, find an example of a two-handed grab (first your own wrist, then a friend, and so on in a circle).
All in white
Identical clothing items in photos of friends always look impressive.
Ask your guests to bring their favorite jeans and a white T-shirt for this photo. If you can attach a white sheet or tablecloth along the wall as a background, that would be great. At the time of the photo, cheer each other up so that the emotions are also the same!
Retro
Portraits with black and white filters almost always turn out well.
In this way, you can “unite” people in clothes of incompatible colors in a photo, and it makes sense to use this technique in group photographs. Here you need to be especially careful with light sources. Look for the brightest part of the apartment!
Balloons
Selena Gomez is not the only one who looks spectacular among the balloon fireworks.
In order for the balls to fly like this at the moment of shooting, you need to “throw them into the frame” from both sides. Make sure that the feet and hands of those who help create the balloon mood are not visible in the final image. If the balls are thrown by the person who is being photographed at that moment, the movements will be blurred. You need to choose a pose and wait for the fireworks from the balloons. By the way, there can be one ball, but it’s very big!
Sleeping Beauties and Handsome Men
Photos with “sleeping” beauties can be found on the pages of many bloggers, we need this too!
Success, apparently, lies in the fact that you don’t need to think about looking into the frame and facial expression. During artificial sleep, everyone turns out to be peaceful and beautiful. You can bring pillows, blankets, turn on the night light and put the alarm clock in the cage.
Resort
Resort photographs taken in an ordinary apartment are a separate type of creativity.
To do this, you need a bright beach towel, dark glasses, a wide-brimmed hat and a large glass of juice with a straw. If only your head is in the frame, you can do without a swimsuit. Direct the light of a table lamp onto your face (this will be sunlight for us); any blue or yellow fabric (sea or sand) will do as a background.
Parody of beauty bloggers
Well, everything is simple here. They're so excited about packaging new powder and foundation that it's not that hard to make a parody. Instead of cosmetics, you can use bright magazines, beautiful diaries, cosmetic bags, handbags and scarves. Just hold something in your hands and feign joyful admiration with all your might: “Look what I have.”
Cozy blanket, socks, tea and book
Another stamp that is easy to repeat at an Insta party.
Choose things in soft pastel colors, try to ensure that only the most comfortable items are included in the frame. Dreamy photos get a lot of likes, so it makes sense to try and take such a shot for each participant in the holiday.
Music lovers
Large headphones are needed for photography.
To make the emotions real, it is better to turn on your favorite composition for real. By the way, on this topic you can make a series of retro photographs with large old records. You’ll definitely find them at your grandparents’, they still feel sorry to part with them.
Sun
Without such a photograph, the Internet would not survive)). For a circular portrait, there are two options: lie on the floor and photograph from above (someone needs to climb onto the table with their feet) or photograph from below, but you need to stand in a circle and bend your heads towards each other, looking into the camera lens. There is always little light inside such a circle, so you need to turn on additional lighting.
Unusual photos with a mirror
There are a lot of examples with large and medium-sized mirrors on the Internet.
There is a main condition here: you need to press the mirror towards you and turn it a little to the side so that the flashes and the person who is filming you at that moment are not reflected. The mirror should reflect beautiful objects, balls, faces of friends, pets, flowers, a landscape from a window or a bowl of fruit.
Make a wish!
You can blow out candles at an Instagram party not only for the birthday boy, but for all the guests.
It always turns out beautifully even on a smartphone camera. If there is no birthday cake, just come up with a romantic photo shoot with candles, petals and flowers. Let's not change traditions, let's repeat the favorite story of all times!
Photo props
There are a lot of such cardboard pictures on sticks for sale, the themes are very different.
Rehearse in front of the mirror how best to hold this or that accessory. This photo prop looks especially impressive in group photographs. You can buy it here, for example.
Big toy
Of course, not every apartment has a two-meter bear. But you or your friends will definitely find something noticeable. Come up with an interesting story with a soft toy, this is fun in itself. Drinking tea together, a declaration of love, a quarrel and resentment, a photo in the same clothes, etc.
Yummy
Let's make a parody of another Internet stamp.
You need to eat something with delight: an apple, a cake, a lettuce leaf, a lollipop. Just make sure it doesn't look cheesy. It may be funny, but it’s not good. Here it would be good to remember the meal of the main character from the film “Prisoner of the Caucasus”.
Hairstyle with pencils (spaghetti, curlers)
To create something unprecedented on your head just like that is strange. And as part of a joke party, it’s fun. Make each other funny hairstyles using pencils, clothespins, or hard spaghetti from the packaging instead of hairpins. Use bright Velcro curlers, make a funny turban from scarves, etc.
Portrait likeness
Here you need to pre-select for each guest a character from a movie or a famous picture.
The magazine "Caravan" often publishes paintings by famous artists recreated by a photo artist. It's not easy, but you can try. You can also take anime heroes, characters from Harry Potter, other films and TV series. In order to make it clear to everyone who you are trying to copy, it is better to combine the example and the result into one image.
Sadness and melancholy
Oh, this is also a favorite story.
You just need to sit by the window and look longingly into the distance. It immediately seems that your head is full of philosophical thoughts, that your heart and soul are filled with dreams, that you have something to think about for hours alone. Everyone especially likes to photograph the rain outside the window so that everyone can see that you are cozy and warm.
LED magic
The New Year's garland does not need to be put away in boxes with toys.
This is a cool accessory for a photo shoot at any time of the year. It can serve as a background, lie on the table among goodies, or complement your romantic image. It is important to choose the right lighting for the room. If it is too light, the flickering of the light bulbs is not visible. If it’s too dark, you won’t be visible among the LED glow. Let's experiment!
Favorite scent
People take pictures with beautiful bottles not only for the sake of advertising eau de toilette.
This is another stamp that is designed to create a special mood. Apparently, bloggers think that viewers feel the aroma, and the photo becomes special. Look for examples on the Internet and make a funny, romantic parody.
Oh, a present!
I’m always surprised by the number of enthusiastic people with boxes: “What’s in there” or “Oh, so many gifts.”
I myself often insert such photographs into articles about gifts to cheer myself and my readers up. Take a beautiful box with a gift or, like our famous bloggers, packages from famous brands and do a photo shoot with an avid shopaholic.
Bright umbrella
The umbrella is a beautiful backdrop in itself.
Even if it happens in an apartment, find a nice large umbrella and take a few bright shots so that no other background is visible. If you really want to, you can pour a glass of water on the front of the umbrella. Looks like it's raining...
To profile
This is one of the famous photos of the stars of the television series "Friends".
They didn't come up with it, but it turned out well. To make this shot effective, find a dark background, stand close behind each other, turn your heads towards the light source and smile. If your guests are of different heights, ask the tall ones to sit down or stand on the tiptoes of the short ones. Your chins should be at the same level. Hold the camera at shoulder level with the person closest to you.
How to decorate a room and table at home?
To decorate a room in TikTok style, you can buy themed black, turquoise and red balls and a banner for the wall, make a photo zone or banner. You can make your own black photo frame with TikTok or Likee symbols using cardboard. There are free templates for printing paraphernalia, use the Google or Yandex search engines. Templates for free paraphernalia can be obtained from our partners from the VKontakte group “Children’s holiday: decor, free templates.”
If your holiday and family budget allows, you can order a ready-made stylized cake. The cake can be ordered with images of likes, social network icons, logos and the child’s age number. But if you still want to save money and make a stylish cake yourself, you can use custom-made cake decoration elements. For example, decorate any neutral, ready-made holiday cake with gingerbread cookies (3-5 pieces will be enough), and mastic figures (you need to order 3-5 confectionery figures based on an image from the Internet). Well, the most budget option is to print a flat image on A4 size sugar or rice paper and apply it to the cake itself. The cost of decoration on rice paper in our city is from 250 rubles, gingerbread from 130-150 rubles per piece. I indicate approximate prices to make it easier for you to navigate and choose the option that is reasonable for you. The photo shows an example of a stylized cake from pastry chef @green_cake_ufa.
You can decorate the table with TikTok toppers by sticking them into fruits, cupcakes, and muffins. Paper napkins, a tablecloth, disposable tableware, stickers for drinks in the style and colors of a blogger's holiday - everything can be made and found on the Internet. But weigh the pros and cons of the environmental friendliness of using disposable tableware, especially if you are hosting a party at home. Sometimes it’s better to plan your budget more effectively towards the entertainment itself, gifts and food for the holiday table. The costs of paraphernalia are sometimes unreasonably high and such items only serve once. We recommend using our templates from materials; cutting from paper is of course troublesome, but you can involve your children in the holiday chores and preparation. And it will be an environmentally friendly family holiday.
