Big Head Cutouts Aren’t Just for Sports: 10 Unexpected Ways to Use Them
When most people think of a custom Big Head Cutout, they picture a packed gym, football stadium, or senior night with parents proudly holding a giant version of their athlete’s face.
And we love that.
But sports are only the beginning.
Custom face cutouts can turn just about any celebration into something people remember—and they're almost guaranteed to end up in photos. Here are 10 fun ways to use a Big Head Cutout when there isn't a scoreboard in sight.
1. Graduation Parties 🎓
Your graduate has spent years getting to this point. Why settle for a normal decoration?
Put their giant face by the entrance, next to the cake table, in the backyard, or use several throughout the party. They're also great for graduation photos when the actual graduate is busy making the rounds.
Bonus points for digging up an old elementary-school photo.
2. Birthday Parties 🎂
Imagine walking into your birthday party and seeing your face everywhere.
Big Head Cutouts work for kids, adults, milestone birthdays, and surprise parties. Use a great current photo—or make things considerably more embarrassing with a childhood picture.
We won't judge.
3. Weddings 💍
The bride and groom can't be everywhere at once. Their giant heads can.
Put custom face cutouts in the photo booth, near the dance floor, or at the bar. They're also a fun way to include a friend or family member who couldn't attend.
And if your wedding party needs giant faces of the bride and groom on the dance floor, we're absolutely here for it.
4. Bachelor & Bachelorette Parties 🎉
There are few things funnier than carrying an enormous version of the bride or groom's face around all weekend.
Bring it to dinner. Take it sightseeing. Put it in every group photo.
By the end of the trip, the Big Head may have its own photo album.
5. Retirement Parties
After years—or decades—on the job, someone deserves a proper sendoff.
Big Head Cutouts make hilarious decorations for retirement parties and give coworkers something memorable to use in photos.
For maximum effect, find an old photo from their first few years on the job.
6. School Events & Fundraisers 🏫
Big Heads aren't limited to athletes.
Teachers, principals, coaches, mascots, club sponsors, and even favorite staff members can become part of the fun at school carnivals, fundraisers, pep rallies, dances, and spirit weeks.
Want students to pay attention to a fundraiser booth? Put the principal's giant face next to it. Problem solved.
7. Photo Booths 📸
This one is almost too easy.
Big Head Cutouts make fantastic photo booth props because they're personalized to the event. Guests immediately know what to do with them, and they create photos people actually want to share.
For weddings, birthdays, graduation parties, corporate events, and school celebrations, a few custom faces can make a standard photo booth much more personal.
8. Going-Away & Welcome-Home Parties
Someone leaving for college? Moving across the country? Coming home from deployment? Returning from a long trip?
A giant version of their face makes a pretty hard-to-miss welcome.
They're also great for airport pickups—although we can't guarantee the person you're picking up won't pretend they don't know you.
9. Family Reunions
Every family has a few legendary characters. You know exactly who they are.
Turn Grandma, Grandpa, the cousins, or an old family photograph into Big Head Cutouts and use them for reunion photos.
They can also be a fun way to remember family members who aren't able to attend.
10. Office Parties & Corporate Events
Yes, Big Heads can even make work more fun.
Use them for company celebrations, employee recognition, retirement parties, trade shows, team-building events, award ceremonies, or a coworker's birthday.
Nothing says “Employee of the Month” quite like seeing your head enlarged to ridiculous proportions.
The Best Part? Make It Personal.
The reason Big Head Cutouts work so well isn't really because they're big.
It's because they're your person.
Your graduate. Your best friend. Your kid. Your spouse. Your coworker. Your coach. Your dad.
That's what turns a simple piece of party decor into something everyone wants to grab for a picture.
