Big Head Cut Outs: The Ultimate Guide to Custom Face Cutouts

Custom big head cut outs are one of the easiest ways to make a game, party, graduation, or special event more memorable. You send us a photo, and we turn it into an oversized face sign that is made to stand out in a crowd.

At Game Face Photography and Printing, our big head cut outs are made from your photo and printed on sturdy foam board so they are easy to hold, display, photograph, and bring back out for future events.

What is a big head cut out?

A big head cut out is an oversized printed version of a person’s face. The background is removed, the face is enlarged, and the finished cutout becomes a fun sign or photo prop.

They are sometimes called giant face cutouts, face on a stick signs, fat heads, or custom face signs. No matter what you call them, the idea is the same: make someone’s face impossible to miss.

Best occasions for custom face cutouts

Sports and senior night

Big heads are perfect for basketball, football, volleyball, wrestling, soccer, baseball, hockey, and other school or club sports. Parents and friends can hold them in the stands, use them for team photos, or bring them to senior night.

Graduation

A giant face cutout makes it much easier for your graduate to find you in a crowd. It also works as a fun graduation party decoration or photo booth prop.

Birthdays and surprise parties

Big head cutouts are an easy way to personalize a birthday without needing a complicated theme. Use one giant face as a surprise or order several for a group.

Weddings and bachelor or bachelorette parties

Custom face signs are popular for wedding receptions, bachelor parties, bachelorette parties, and photo booths. They are especially fun when the guest of honor is not expecting them.

How to choose the best photo

The best results start with a clear photo. Use an original phone photo whenever possible rather than a screenshot from social media.

  • Choose a sharp, in-focus image.
  • Use a photo with good lighting.
  • Pick a face that is not blocked by hands, hats, or other people.
  • A straight-on or slightly angled face usually works best.
  • Higher resolution is better, especially for larger cutouts.

What size should you order?

Smaller face cutouts are easier to carry and work well for parties, tables, and younger kids. Larger cutouts create more impact from across a gym, field, auditorium, or stadium.
