This set will be very useful for photographers, as well as those who want to get funny photos. We understand perfectly well that you won’t be surprised with just a mustache and sponges, and therefore in this set we have prepared various hats, scarves, bow ties, ties, smiles, glasses and other interesting little things.
All you have to do is print them out on construction paper, cut them out with a craft knife, and add a stick!

If you organize everything yourself, it is important to prepare 5 components:
- The photographer or friends, colleagues or relatives responsible for photographing.
- Think up an interesting photo zone (you can see something in the article “15 ideas for a photo zone”)
- Buy curly balloons in the form of numbers or characters, order foam letters or hashtags, life-size flowers, just a cloud of multi-colored balloons (guests hold all this in their hands).
- Buy hats, carnival glasses, photo props on sticks (if you didn’t have time to buy them, print them out and glue them together, description below in this article).
Of course, a more advantageous option is a mustache on a felt stick, but thick cardboard also looks great! Today I tried to collect not only mustaches , but also beards, bowler hats, glasses, smoking pipes and sponges.
Just in case, I also made outline templates for printing, because a black mustache will ruin us on a cartridge :-). There are also options for a color printer, because not everyone can color so beautifully!
How to glue
We print cardboard mustaches (beards and lips) on thick paper or trace templates made on plain paper on colored cardboard, whichever is easier for you.
You can use wooden sticks (available in every supermarket now) for kebabs. We attach the stick to the back side using a piece of thick paper and PVA glue. You can simply insert it into the slots, as in the photo on the left.
If you are using felt, you need to cut out two identical blanks and glue the stick between them using a hot gun.
I advise everyone to buy a glue gun (also called a “hot one”). Then it will be useful for creating bouquets of sweets and toys, decorating gifts and... I don’t remember now, but I need it all the time :-)!
And it’s convenient to buy felt in a creativity kit (there are small squares of multi-colored pieces of felt - exactly what we need).
Now I’m posting the templates for mustaches on a stick, beards on a stick, sponges, hats and glasses! We print it out and delight ourselves and our guests!
All these pictures can be printed from Yandex Disk here
If you don’t have time to make holiday accessories, I suggest you look at my selection of finished products for family and corporate celebrations!
The tradition was brought to us from Europe (where such mustaches are used at weddings, and not only men, but also women are photographed with a beard, even the bride :-)). I wouldn’t limit myself to just a wedding - at a certain point during the holiday you can get these funny preparations and amuse guests big and small.
Be sure to make sure that people are holding the sticks correctly , and that the attached jaws look as symmetrical and in place as possible.

Prop templates for wedding photography
If you want to make them yourself, find suitable pictures on the Internet and paste them into Word. This will create a ready-made template, which all you have to do is print it, stick it on cardboard, cut it out and fix it on a skewer.
Another option is to copy everything you like from the pictures and cut out the shapes along the contour. For those who don’t want to bother with such work, we offer ready-made prop templates. Here you will find false mustaches, glasses, lips, face masks. They will also need to be cut out and attached to skewers.
Please note that it is better to make templates on a computer than by hand: it will be faster and more accurate.

About signs with phrases
One of the entertainments during a photo shoot can be signs with funny inscriptions and remarks (small cards with text). Such an accessory will enliven the photo and add excitement during shooting.
Usually they use:
- A4 / A3 size plates
- Small speech bubbles , like in comics (these are attached to wooden skewers, which are convenient for holding a card with a phrase / sometimes they are called “photo shoot toppers”);
Such accessories allow you to take original pictures, both with a professional photographer and on a smartphone (in the form of a selfie).
For any subject
Photo props for a birthday, wedding, corporate event or graduation help create a festive mood and play up the characters in skits and competitions.
The plot of the pictures can be absolutely anything (fairy tales, comics, historical subjects). You can offer guests several options to choose from.
Neutral, not tied to a specific topic:
These details can be combined with each other without fear of violating the stylistic concept.
Thematic images are suitable for themed parties, but often require additional details to create the image - capes, vests, evening dresses.
Image elements can include a full set of attributes and correspond to one of the popular styles:
Children's photo props usually depict animation heroes and fairy-tale characters and are no different from adult ones except for the size of the masks. However, there are no age or plot distinctions as such - adults try on children's roles, and children take on adult roles. A baby with a Poirot-style mustache and pince-nez, and dad with a pacifier and a cap - a funny and common subject of family photographs.
