Finding the right decorations for an event or party isn’t always the easiest task. Not only do you have to worry about making the event look nice and fitting with a theme, but you also have to worry about things like your budget and availability of materials. A great decoration option you can go with when it comes to decorations are personalized cardboard cutouts, decorations that can fit in with a theme, spruce up a venue, and won’t break the bank. However, before committing to using personalized cardboard cutouts to decorate your event, you’ll likely want to know a little bit more about them. So how are personalized cardboard cutouts made, and how can they help your event look more complete? Let’s take a look. 

Provide Photo

The first thing that needs to happen for a personalized cardboard cutout to be made is to provide a photo. The photo you provide for the cutout will obviously have a huge effect on how it will turn out. For example, if you choose a photo of a person, you can have a life-size cutout that looks exactly like an individual. Alternatively, you could choose a picture of a logo or a saying rather than a picture of an individual. The photo you provide will have a huge effect on what types of sizes and styles will look good. As a result, if you’re thinking of having a personalized cardboard cutout made, ensure that you provide a high-quality photo that will actually work in the context. When a good photo is picked, a crisp and high-quality cutout can be made from it, which can add a lot to an event. However, if you use a poor photo to blow up into a cutout, the cutout will appear low quality and won’t be that great of a decoration.

Pick a Size

The next thing you need to do is pick a size that you want your cardboard cutout to be. In most cases, sizes go well with specific types of photos. For example, if you chose a photo of yourself, you would likely want to make the cardboard cutout lifesize. Making a cutout any smaller than that would make it appear weird and out of place. Alternatively, if you want to order a cardboard cutout of a logo or something similar, then ordering too large of a size could ruin the way it looks. Size is important when ordering a cardboard cutout, so ensure you choose a size that would best match your photo.

Choose a Style

Lastly, you’re going to need to decide whether you want any specific cutout style when you order it. For example, you may want a big head of your favorite football player to wave it around in support at a football game. Alternatively, you could be planning a political fundraiser and order a photo stand-in of the candidate, allowing guests to get the perfect photo opportunity. There are many different styles of cutouts you can go with, so ensure that you choose a style that best allows you to use your cutout effectively.
