Larry graduated with honors from his tap dancing class, and this was a special gift to him from an admirer! He loved it! He framed it and it hangs on his wall in his office. By the way, he's also using it for artwork on scratch pads!

Amanda's invitation to her "Twist and Shout" party (with a Beatles bent) at Amanda's Rock and Roll Diner...turned out to be one of the best parties ever! What you can't tell from this artwork is that the 45 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame pin Amanda is holding is real—it was actually pinned to the invitation for everyone to wear to the event.

Vince's was turning 50 and his wife had no idea what to do for an invitation! We suggested a caricature that depicted Vince doing what he loves best. She answered a few questions, and--voila!--here's the result. The Party Girl also suggested she use this caricature as a sign-in board.

It was a wedding reception to remember. The couple, Beth and Jeff, were married in Philadelphia but the reception was in Cleveland. Thus, the title and theme, "The Philadelphia Story." The theme was carried out from start to finish for more than 200 guests.

What do you do when you want to honor both people at a rehearsal dinner by pulling together a theme that works for both? Well, this caricature was a hit with Lisa & Michael. It tells a little bit about each of them, and sets the stage (a concert film) for a theme that incorporates what each does in their career.

When inviting people to a roast, you better give them something to work with. And that's what the Party Girl did for this 60th birthday invitation for Alan. Using a play on words, we incorporated the fact that Alan is in the window business with the fact that he was being roasted for his 60th! Guests were very creative during their remarks, and Alan hasn't been the same since!

How to order a caricature:

What is the basic caricature and how much does it cost?

Caricatures are 8 ½" x 11" and executed on quality paper in full color. The caricature may include some words and is very graphically detailed.

The base price of our caricature with one person is $ 150.00. For each additional person included in the caricature, there is an additional charge of $40.00. If there are many extra objects and details to be drawn, additional art charges may apply. If our review of your materials indicates that there may be an additional charge for extra detail/items, we will notify at the time you place your order.

Please note our caricatures are only available to be used for our custom product.

What do we need in order to create your original caricature?

We require a picture of the person you would like to feature, as well as specific information and details that you want included in the caricature. The artist will render a black and white draft, which will be faxed to you for a preliminary review. You can make changes to this initial sketch. A revised draft will be faxed to you again. You may make a second set of changes, if you wish. Once you return the second draft with your approval to us, it is final. If you request additional changes thereafter, we reserve the right to charge for those additional changes.

Before any art is created, we must receive your nonrefundable down payment of $125.00, payable by MasterCard, Visa or American Express.

What can I get with my artwork?

Caricatures are only sold when used for any of the following products:

1. Flat card invitations bearing a 5" X 7" copy of the caricature (including envelope): single sided $1.85 each.  Invitations sized 8 1/2" X 11" are also available at $2.50 each (including envelope). If you want copy or something else printed on the reverse of the card, there is an additional charge of $.50 per invitation. Custom wording (such as a poem or other creative writing) is available at a flat additional charge of $25.00.

2. Sign-in Boards - a 24" x 36" foam core poster featuring a raised copy of your original caricature, a border, and celebratory message for $125.00.

3. Table centerpieces - constructed with foam core and are copies of the original caricature. The base can be filled with shreds (colorful paper) at a cost of $22.00 per base. Flowers and/or balloons are an additional cost.

4. Life size stand-ups - copy of caricature made into life size stand-up for $155.00.

Please note that there may be some color variations between the original caricature and the reproductions.

What if I need the caricature right away?

Normal production time, which means that from the time we receive your original photograph until we are ready to ship the caricature, is about three (3) weeks. It can be longer if you take a long time to review copy or request changes. RUSH orders, meaning orders placed with less than three weeks production time to shipping date, will be charged an additional $50.00. Keep in mind, the three (3) weeks begins once we have your material in hand.

What if I need to cancel my order?

Because each caricature is drawn by hand and because of the time they take to create, a $75 drawing fee will be applied in the case of a cancellation once the artist has done a proof.

What the handling and shipping charges?

Packing and handling charges are based on the products selected and will be given to you at the time you place your order. Shipping  charges are  determined based on the weight and size of the shipment, your location and  the method ( i..e ground, two day, overnight) that you choose). The total charges will be assessed to your credit card prior to shipping. See our shipping rules for more information
