Children’s parties have been getting a little old hat, and it’s no surprise why parents are looking for something fresh and new to try. Although they may have a theme, food, and entertainment booked: decorating may still feel sparse. Instead of pulling out tacky streamers and decor from the 1990s, you can surprise your kid with something unique and fun.
Cardboard cutouts are more than they sound like and offer your party a spark of fun and entertainment while also having room for a custom touch.
Here are the top three cardboard cutouts for any kids’ party and how you can put them to use.
Faceless Cutouts
What’s a party without some excellent photo opportunities? You can help create this for your celebration by including faceless cutouts for your party-goers to use. There are classics, like cowboys and fun aliens, but you can also lean into the party’s theme and create something new and exciting. If your child is throwing a party based on their favorite television show, order a cutout that allows the party-goers to feel like they’re part of the show.
Not only will faceless cutouts allow the party kids to feel like they’re throwing a one-of-a-kind party, but it’ll also give guests something that they’ll want to talk about for ages.
Characters and Things They Love
Whether your child adores Elsa from Frozen or is obsessed with Spider-Man, you can give them their favorite character in a unique and fun way they can keep after the party. Not only does having a life-sized Elsa at a party mean great photo opportunities for party-goers, but it also adds to the authenticity and makes a party feel more legitimate.
If you’re not sure which characters to get, talk to your child and find out what they would love to see most of all.
Don’t fear creativity with this one! If your child loves your pet dog to bits, you can get a cardboard cutout made with your dog’s image. Remember that you have to take a clear picture for anything custom and ensure that it’s one you’ll want to look at for a while since your child will probably want to decorate their room with it afterward!
Themself As A Hero
One of the most incredible ways to use custom cardboard cutouts is to help your kids see themselves how you do. Using photoshop or any other image editing software, you can turn your child into a superhero or anything else they’d want to be. Unlike the faceless cutouts that allow anyone to look however they want, this cutout would let your child feel special and unique. You can get creative and make them look like a pirate or a ballerina, or go for a classic superhero or ninja look. If you add a speech bubble, it will look like your kid popped right out of a comic book!
Cardboard cutouts have the opportunity for change, inventiveness, and fun- while still staying relatively portable and inexpensive. Instead of going for the old classics, try sprucing up your next party with a cool cutout.
