Wedding Guest Survival: Why a Caricature Gift Saves the Day

Let’s be honest, attending weddings can be… tricky. Especially when it’s your partner’s old mate from school, the one you’ve never met, and you suddenly find yourself sat at a table of strangers trying to explain what you do for a living to a man who only wants to tell you about his koi pond.

Then there’s the food. Ah yes, the “carefully curated” vegan wedding menu. Who doesn’t love watching Uncle Dave try to work out what quinoa is while quietly wishing for a bacon sandwich? And if you’re lucky enough to avoid the dry nut roast, there’s still the free-for-all debate at your table – Brexit, bin collections, and whether pineapple belongs on pizza  all fuelled by the drunk uncle who’s now eyeing up the dancefloor.

And speaking of the dancefloor– it’s a barren wasteland until about 9.30pm when everyone’s had enough prosecco to suddenly believe they are Beyoncé. Cue Dad-dancing, high heels abandoned, and a conga line nobody asked for.

But here’s the real dilemma: the gift. Do you go for the toaster? The envelope of cash that feels like a bribe? Or worse, that panicked last-minute Amazon order that screams “I forgot”?

This is where we step in. A bespoke caricature from Steph’s Sketches is the antidote to all that awkwardness. Thoughtful, funny, personal – and unlike the vegan canapé selection, it won’t leave anyone disappointed. The happy couple get a keepsake they’ll treasure (and laugh at) forever, and you get to look like the wedding guest hero who really nailed the gift.

So next time you’re dreading the politics debates, dodgy playlists, and dry speeches – at least you can relax knowing your gift is sorted.
