Sometimes you need to have your favorite Wookiee at your wedding. Offbeat Bride reader Carly had a life-size cut-out of one of her favorite Star Wars characters, Chewbacca, at her reception. This is one of those amazing ways to inject a little humor into a formal occasion. Pick your favorite pop culture icon and go nuts!

Perhaps the 10th Doctor? Sheldon Cooper? Superman? Or Ron Weasley, like at Jillian and Michael's theater wedding.

Or you can just get a CUSTOM cardboard cut-out of whoever the eff you want!

I would wager a guess that there were a lot of guest + Chewbacca profile photos on Facebook the next day.

How to make cardboard face cut-outs for your photo booth

We've long loved the idea of having far-flung guests or pets cameo at your reception with cut-outs of their faces. It's pretty easy: a print-out, a craft stick, and some glue. But what if you want a BIG face instead? You might see them at concerts and of course, in photo booths! Big cardboard head cut-outs are easy enough to make if you've got the time and aren't already overburdened with DIY projects. Here's how to make cardboard face cut-outs...

  1. My fiancee and I are planning of making life sized (maybe a little larger) cutouts of our cats, since they are our babies but cannot make the wedding 🙂

  2. Thank you so much! I’ve been meaning to find one of these in stores in France for the longest time… and they were waiting for me on the Internet.

  3. Heh, or even one of the wedding couple. Because you WANT to get pictures with everyone at your wedding, but you never do.

  5. We had a cutout of Captain Kirk and a lifesize Yoda plush at our photo booth, but they both quickly made it onto the dance floor! Good times.
