Frequently Asked Questions — Birthday Caricature
How long does it take to receive a birthday caricature?
A digital caricature is delivered within 5 business days after receiving your photo and order confirmation. Printed products (canvas, mug, socks) take 7 to 12 business days. For an urgent birthday, you can request an express option by contacting Sébastien directly.
What photo should I send for the best birthday caricature?
A clear, well-lit front-facing photo works best. You can also include a reference photo showing a specific expression or pose you’d like captured. Pop culture, Star Wars, superhero and sports themes are all possible — just mention it when ordering.
Can I order a caricature as a birthday gift surprise without the person knowing?
Yes, absolutely. Many customers order from a photo they find on social media or taken discreetly. Sébastien works from any clear photo and the gift is always a surprise. The digital file can be sent directly to you for printing or sharing.
Do you ship birthday caricature gifts worldwide?
Yes. Digital files are sent by email worldwide instantly. Physical products (canvas, mug, socks) are shipped internationally via Printful — delivery is available in the US, Canada, UK, Europe, Australia and more.
Is a birthday caricature always flattering or is it embarrassing?
Sébastien’s style is humorous but always kind. The exaggeration is affectionate, not cruel — the goal is to make the birthday person laugh and feel special, not self-conscious. You can also request a more realistic portrait style if you prefer.
