What is a silhouette cutter?

A silhouette cutter is an artist who cuts a guest's profile freehand from black paper using only scissors and a sharp eye, usually in a couple of minutes. The finished silhouette is mounted on card for the guest to take home.

It is an old craft with a vintage charm that suits weddings, Gatsby and Parisian nights and elegant corporate events. Because each cut is quick, an artist can see a steady stream of guests, and watching it happen is part of the entertainment.

Where it works best

  • Weddings

    A keepsake favour for every guest.

  • Brand events

    Silhouettes mounted on branded card.

  • Corporate receptions

    A personal gift guests actually keep.

  • Parisian themes

    Old-world charm for a French night.

  • Christmas parties

    A personal take-home from the night.

  • Gatsby nights

    A vintage art form for a 1920s party.

Tips from our team

  1. 1

    Set up in good light

    A bright, even light on the guest's profile makes for a crisp silhouette.

  2. 2

    Manage the queue

    Place the artist where a queue will not block a walkway or the bar.

  3. 3

    Brand the mounts

    Silhouettes can be mounted on cards with your names, date or logo.
