Event Souvenirs Singapore: Keychain, Magnet or Sticker?

Whether a souvenir survives has almost nothing to do with how nice it is. It depends on one thing: whether it has somewhere to live.

A framed photo needs a shelf nobody has spare. A branded mug competes with six better mugs. But a keychain goes on keys that already exist, a magnet goes on a fridge that's already there, and a sticker goes on a phone case someone is holding right now.

That's the whole decision, and it's why we price all three the same — $988 for 2 hours, $788 for one. You're not choosing a budget. You're choosing a surface.

The three surfaces

Keys — the keychain

A photo keychain clips onto something the guest carries out of the house every single day. It's sealed in acrylic, so it survives being in a pocket with coins and a house key for three years, which is more than can be said for a paper print.

It's also the format that travels into offices and onto lanyards, which is why corporate clients pick it most. We've been making these in Singapore since 2017.

The fridge — the magnet

A photo magnet goes home and stays there. The difference from a keychain is who sees it: a keychain is seen by the guest, a magnet is seen by their whole household, every time someone fetches milk.

That makes it the strongest format for family weddings and milestone birthdays, where the people at the event are the people who live together.

The phone — the sticker

This is the newest of the three, and the surface is the reason. A photo sticker goes on the back of a clear phone case, a laptop lid or a water bottle — and a phone case is the single most-looked-at object its owner holds.

It's also the only one of the three where the guest actively chooses the placement. Nobody sticks something on their phone by accident, which is exactly why it works: applying it is a small decision in your favour.

Side by side

Every one includes unlimited souvenirs, a design built for your event with 2 revisions, props, your pick of backdrop, crew, and free setup and teardown. Logo branding is included on all three for corporate bookings. Full details on the packages and prices page.

How to choose in one question

Picture a guest three months after your event. Where are they, and what are they holding?

If the answer is driving to work, that's a keychain. If it's at home with their family, that's a magnet. If it's looking at their phone, which statistically it usually is, that's a sticker.

For a Chinese banquet with three generations in the room, keychains and magnets tend to win because the older half of your guest list doesn't decorate a phone case. For a 21st, a company D&D with a young team, or a second reception, stickers land harder.

The budget argument nobody makes

Most planning spreadsheets carry a photo booth line and a door gift line. The door gift is ordered months ahead, in bulk, for people nobody has met — and a meaningful share of it gets left on the tables.

Any of these three formats collapses those two lines into one. At $988 for two hours with unlimited souvenirs, a 250-guest banquet works out at roughly $4 a head if most guests use the booth — usually less than a decent bulk gift, and without the guessing.

Our 15 wedding door gift ideas piece covers what else is worth considering, and the 2026 price guide sets out what every booth costs.

What to put on it

The photo is the easy part. The design around it is what makes a souvenir feel made rather than printed.

• Names and date — the minimum, and enough on its own
• A line that sounds like you — an in-joke beats a quote from the internet
• Theme colours, so it sits with the rest of your styling
• A logo or hashtag for corporate events, included at no extra cost

Every booking includes a graphic designer and 2 rounds of revisions before the day. Keep the text short — on a 2" × 2" Mini sticker, three words read better than a sentence.

Practical bits

All three booths need about 3m × 3m and one 13A power point. Setup takes 45 minutes and our crew arrives 45 minutes before your start time. A 2-hour session comfortably serves 150 to 250 guests with a 3-person crew printing and assembling continuously.

One thing worth asking any photo booth vendor: what happens if the queue is still moving when the booked time runs out. Our rule is that if a guest has taken their photo inside the window, the crew stays until that person has their souvenir in hand. Peculiar Booth has run these formats since 2017 and holds a 5.0★ rating on Google.

Event souvenir FAQs

What event souvenir do guests actually keep?

The ones that land on a surface the guest already uses every day — keys, the fridge, a phone case. Souvenirs that need a new home of their own, like a framed print or a branded mug, are the ones that end up in a drawer.

How much does a photobooth souvenir cost in Singapore?

The keychain, magnet and sticker booths are all $988 for 2 hours or $788 for a single hour, with each additional hour at $380. Unlimited souvenirs, custom design, props, backdrop and crew are included, so the price is the same whichever format you choose.

Which souvenir is best for a wedding banquet?

Keychains and magnets both work well where guests span three generations and a keepsake reads as a proper favour. Stickers suit younger guest lists and second receptions. If you have a separate door gift line, any of the three can replace it.

How many guests can a souvenir booth serve?

A 2-hour session comfortably serves 150 to 250 guests, with a 3-person crew printing and assembling continuously. If a guest has taken their photo inside the booked window, the crew stays until they have their souvenir.

Can we run two souvenir formats at the same event?

Yes, and some hosts do — particularly at larger events where a second station keeps the queue moving. Tell us your guest count and venue and we'll quote the combination rather than two separate bookings.
