    Hi All :D
    Well we have been thinking of entertainment as obviously we all wants our guests to have a good time as well as ourselves.
    We was going to have a Photo Booth but now decided that is so common now (stil a great idea) but we wanted something a bit different, so we are thinking of hiring a Caricature - as we both love them they have good banter and our guests get to have a keep sake and also on our very first date we had one done.
    What are your opinions on them and if you have ever used one can i get their info please xxxxxxxxx

    Personally I think it's personal preference but I think if you love it, go for it, especially as it links in with your first date. That's really sweet :) xx

    if you like that sort of thing go for it but i might just insist the characaturist is careful not to offend! i had one done at a seaside resort as im quite aware of my flaws but when it was pointed out in a picture by a stranger it really upset me and i didnt think i would care but i really did. the last thing you would want is to upset any guests .

    One BIG day will lead to lots of little happy days !!

    I was all set to have one but every one I have looked at draws big noses and what do I hate about myself ....my nose lol
    So this put me off, until I found this one guy who is brilliant! So I told him about the above and he promised real likeness only and he assures me IF I book him my nose will look perfect lol (creeping me thinks lol, will give you his details if you want?)

    I did start looking around for alternatives as well and came across silhouttes ....same sort of thing but they cut your silhoutte there and then BUT as there are only SIX people in the uk who do this they are quite expensive and can be between £4-800 for 2 hours hmmmm

    Will see what our budget allows after EVERYTHING else me things!

    Anyway if you like them then go for it, im sure your guests will love it!

    My best friend is having one at her wedding. It is costing a lot of money and I don't really see the point but she fell in love with the idea when she met him at a wedding fayre. Xx

    We went to a wedding a few years ago that had a caricaturist and it was a real success. However, in my opinion its something you can only really have done once during the night whereas a photobooth you can take advantage of as many times as you like. Perhaps something to think about?

    H2b wants one instead of a photobooth so been getting quotes etc, i think this option will suit him/ us better considering h2b thinks he's a comedian lol cant wait to see a picture of his shiny bald head on paper haha :-p x

    hahaha, Yeah see i think its more personalised and i love all things personalised lol. You can get all the paper with our names and date of our wedding and then they get a gift with banter at the same time :D its just thinking when is the best time i think we are going to go half and half, half time with just the day guests at the wedding breakfast and then half of the evening xx

    see we have quotes from £250 - £450 and im like why the big difference? But then i look at their portfolio and i see why, Need to make sure you have the best so i dont mind spending what seems alot - the photo booth we was getting was £450 anyway so not loosing anything - Can i ask who your going with Heybert? xx
