I don’t always draw gag caricatures, but when people ask me to, it’s hilarious! I recently had the chance to create this kind of artwork at a New Year’s Eve wedding in Jackson, NH, and these guests were hilarious. One of my drawings nearly brought the woman to tears!
This type of caricature can be especially fun at weddings because guests get to see a completely different side of their friends and family. Instead of simply creating a traditional caricature, I can incorporate a funny idea, inside joke, personality trait, or ridiculous situation into the artwork. The result is a personalized wedding keepsake that gets people laughing.
Live Caricature Entertainment for Weddings
Live caricature entertainment is a great way to get wedding guests interacting during a reception. While I’m drawing, people can watch their artwork come together and see the reactions of friends and family members waiting their turn. Then comes the best part: the reveal.
These drawings aren’t just something for guests to take home. The drawing process itself becomes part of the entertainment. The drawing process itself becomes part of the entertainment. Guests get to talk, laugh, watch the artwork develop, and see what the caricature artist comes up with.
For this New Year’s Eve wedding in Jackson, I had plenty of opportunities to have fun with the guests and their drawings. This type of artwork can be based on a person’s personality, hobbies, occupation, favorite activities, an inside joke, or just a funny idea that comes up while we’re talking. That’s what makes each one different and gives the guest a personalized keepsake from the wedding.
Wedding Caricatures That Become Keepsakes
One of the things I love about wedding caricatures is that they serve two purposes at once: they’re wedding entertainment and a personalized keepsake.
A traditional wedding favor might eventually get put away in a drawer, but a caricature created specifically for the guest is something they can actually display. It captures the person, the personality, and the experience of being at the wedding.
Because each drawing is created live, every guest gets something made specifically for them.No two drawings are exactly alike.
