The Caricature Upgrade, Explained

What changes, what guests get, and why this upgrade is the most-loved add-on we offer.

The Caricature Upgrade, Explained

Standard sketch vs. caricature

Our standard sketch is a clean, flattering line portrait — recognizable, elegant, and fast. The caricature upgrade pushes the artwork further: exaggerated features, more expression, more personality, and a drawing style that reads as illustration rather than outline.

Why guests love it

Caricatures make people laugh. They get passed around the table, photographed, and argued about in the best way. Where a portrait gets an "aww," a caricature gets a reaction the whole table hears.

It also photographs better on the live-view TV, because the linework is bolder and reads clearly from across a room.

What to know before you add it

Caricature drawings take slightly longer per guest, so for large headcounts we pair the upgrade with two bots to keep the line moving.

We finalize the look during your pre-event design consultation so the style matches the tone of your event — playful for a birthday, more refined for a gala.
