Why hire a party caricaturist for a holiday party in Blainville?
Because it brings people together without forcing them into a game, and leaves every guest with a gift.
At an office party, teams often stick together. The line in front of the easel or screen mixes departments: people watch, laugh and talk.
At a family gathering, it appeals to grandparents and teens alike. Everyone leaves with their portrait — one more little Christmas gift.
It runs alongside the DJ, dinner or gift exchange. Nobody has to stop the evening.
When in the evening should caricatures run?
At arrival cocktail or right after dinner, avoiding speeches, draws and Santa's arrival.
Cocktail: guests arrive in waves and look for something to do. That's when a line forms most naturally.
After dinner: a shorter block warms up the room before the dance floor opens.
Send the evening schedule (speeches, draws, gift handout) with your request so the caricature block lands at the right time.
- Arrival cocktail: busiest
- After dinner: calmer line
- Avoid: speeches, draws, Santa
Digital or paper for a Christmas party?
Digital suits office parties in a hall; paper is ideal for a family gathering or a small room.
In digital, Diane draws on a large touch screen. The portrait can be projected, and a holiday theme or the company logo can be added on request. The digital gallery even includes a Christmas party example with Santa.
In traditional, each guest gets an original on paper, easy to slip into a card or stick on the fridge. No outlet needed.
Describe the hall or home in your request and Diane will recommend a format.
What logistics should you plan in Blainville in December?
A visible, well-lit corner near the bar or entrance, a table, two chairs, and a power outlet for digital.
Avoid the dark corner by the coat check: good lighting helps the drawing and attracts guests.
Share the exact address and parking. In December, snow and traffic on Highway 15 or Boulevard du Curé-Labelle can slow arrival; setting the setup time with some buffer helps everyone.
For a reception hall or restaurant, confirm access time with the venue manager.
