Birthday caricature ideas
- Birthday card: Put the caricature on the front with a joke inside. Cheap, fast and memorable.
- Cake topper: Print it on edible paper or card stock on a stick for the cake.
- Party invitations: A caricature of the birthday person on the invite sets the tone for the party.
- Milestone birthdays: For a 30th, 40th or 50th, frame a large print and have guests sign the mount.
- Office birthdays: A team card with the coworker's caricature beats a generic store card.
Why caricatures work so well for birthdays
Birthdays are about the person, and a caricature is about as personal as a gift gets: it's literally them, with their best-known features played up for laughs. It also works at any budget, from a card you print at home to the centerpiece of a bigger gift.
Since it takes seconds rather than the days a commissioned drawing needs, it's also one of the easiest last-minute gifts you can make.
Keep it fun, not mean
The best birthday caricatures exaggerate things people like about themselves, like a big smile, great hair or expressive eyes. Pick a photo where they look happy and the result will be flattering-funny rather than awkward.
