a Custom Sign-In Board  for a wedding— a guest book you can hang as art.

Custom Sign-In Board — a Unique guest book alternative that doesnt get stuffed in a box! 

AKA "Add-Ons"

These aren’t just add-ons.

They’re ways to bring your event to life at every stage—from the first impression to the last takeaway.

Here’s how it all comes together:

Custom Wedding Sign-In Boards & Welcome Signs
          (That Guests Actually Enjoy Signing)

guest book alternative

Most wedding signs are printed and forgotten.

This is different.

 

Your sign-in board becomes part of the experience.

Guests don’t just sign their names—they interact with it, laugh, and later, you take home a piece of frameable artwork with all your loved one's well wishes.

It doubles as:

  • a wedding guest book alternative

  • a custom welcome sign

  • and a keepsake you’ll actually hang in your home

Before the Event

Custom Artwork & Keepsakes

 


Start the celebration early with personalized art that sets the tone for your event.

  • Custom Caricature Signage – A beautifully drawn couple’s portrait (or guest of honor) to display at your event. Also great for save-the-dates, invitations, and programs.

  • Sign-In Board – Mounted version of your caricature with space around it for guest signatures.

  • Stickers & Labels – Add your custom caricature to thank-you notes, favors, or water bottles.

  • Custom Cake Topper Sculpture – A 3D version of your caricature made into a fun topper.

  • Wedding Commission or Gift Piece – An heirloom-quality artwork created from photos, with custom backgrounds, pets, venues, etc.

  • Digital Files for Print – Vector files for use on stickers, cups, napkins, banners, wedding invitations, or anything else you can dream up.

Your custom artwork becomes more than just a drawing—it turns into personalized wedding favors your guests actually want to keep. From cups and napkins to welcome signs and thank-you gifts, your artwork ties everything together and gives your event a cohesive, fun, and completely unique feel.

Your company logo, married names, “Happy Birthday,” or any custom text can be preprinted on the paper. The only cost is for printing.

During the Event

Live Experience Add-Ons
Make the live drawing experience even more fun, polished, and guest-friendly.

  • Pre-Printed Paper – Your event name, date, or a special message printed on each sheet.
    Investment: $1/sheet (B&W), $2/sheet (Color). (typically only needed for half your guest count)

  • Plastic Sleeves or Tubes – Keep caricatures protected on the way home.
    Investment: ~$2 each (typically only needed for half your guest count).

  • On-Site Framing – Guests can have their art framed right at the event with the help of an assistant.

  • Custom Backdrops – Add ambiance to your caricature station with balloon arches, florals, or branded signage.

  • Additional Artists – For larger guest counts, I can bring trusted professionals to help ensure everyone gets drawn.

  • Live Digital Wedding Painting – A single large painting created live throughout your event (on screen or projected onto a wall)

After the Event

Turn Your Art Into Keepsakes
Extend the fun and memories with printed or digital treasures.

  • Custom Thank-You Notes – Send heartfelt thanks with your caricature printed front and center.

  • Photo Books or Print Sets – High-res scans of the art collected and printed for you.

Themed Caricatures (A Fun FREE Upgrade)

A Fun Caricature Event - SHrek Fest! Drawn in Pensacola at Perfect Plain in Pensacola FL

If you’re planning a themed event, this is where things get really fun.

I can draw your guests as anything—Disney characters, superheroes, vintage styles, beach themes, Mardi Gras, you name it. It turns each drawing into more than just a portrait… it becomes part of the experience.

The best part? There’s no extra cost for themed caricatures.

They do take a little longer per drawing, which makes them a great fit for smaller events or when you want to prioritize a more detailed, customized feel for each guest.

This is one of my favorite ways to make an event feel truly unique and memorable.

If you’re dreaming this up and thinking “okay wait… this could be really fun,” you’re exactly my kind of client.

Take a look at my different event pages to see how all of this comes together in real life—from weddings to corporate events to private parties. You’ll get a feel for what fits your event best and how we can make it unforgettable.
