Favors - caricature or almonds

Ooh, I love the caricature idea! That would be something that is super fun and would be a personalized keepsake for each guest.

A caricature would be fun! But what is your guest count? I am just trying to figure out how all of your guests would be able to get one within a few hours. Unless there are multiple artists to draw them.

View Quoted Comment They said it’s takes about 3 mins for black and white drawings and about 6-9 for colored drawings. We sent out invites for 240 people and waiting on RSVPS. One person mentioned that you can also hire someone that’s in charge of handing out numbers and speaking with guests on any questions so the artist isn’t being interrupted with questions. I was going to book for maybe 3 hrs?

View Quoted Comment Thank you! I thought it could be nice to have something to remember

Caricatures would be so cool, and definitely a unique favor! I had a digital one done at a corporate event a couple years ago and loved it. There will be some people that will opt out of getting their caricature done, and you could possibly hire two artists if your budget allows (the event I went to had two and there was hardly ever a long line and it was just walk-ups).

View Quoted Comment Oh that’s so good to know! I was worried that people may hang around that area waiting instead of being on the dance floor. Thank you!

I vote caricature!! I love favors that I can keep and hold on to since I'm sentimental, so that would be great!

Oh okay I was thinking a longer time to draw, but that should be enough. & some people will opt out of it. That sounds really fun, such a good idea!

View Quoted Comment Thank you!

View Quoted Comment Thank you! I thought the same. I was shocked with how quick they can make them especially with some of the detail.

I love the caricature idea but you would definitely need at least 2 artists. If everyone got black and white they could only do 20 people and hour. With 3 hours you would get 60 drawings total. Inviting 240 people let’s say 200 come, even if everyone got drawn as a couple you will not have enough.

I would say caricature instead of almonds just because its a bit more original and I would worry about nut allergies.

View Quoted Comment Oh didn’t even think about nut allergies!

Nut allergies have increased over time. Is there a different edible you can serve? Otherwise skip favors and put money toward what guests actually notice (food, open bar, dj) or your photos.
