When everything comes together, the image ends up in the local paper, on the charity&#8217;s socials, and in the sponsor&#8217;s annual report. When it doesn&#8217;t, it&#8217;s a blurry shot of two people holding a board nobody can read.<\/p>\n<p>This guide is about the event itself: what to write on the cheque, where people stand, how to angle the board for a clean photo, and how to turn the moment into coverage. For printing specs, sizes, and material options, see our related guide: <a href=\"https:\/\/printshop.paperlust.co\/blog\/giant-novelty-cheque-printing\">Giant Novelty Cheque Printing: Sizes, Templates and Presentation Ideas<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#f8f6f3;border-left:4px solid #c9a96e;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;\">\n<strong>Quick answer<\/strong><br \/>\n&#8211; Fill all six fields before the event: date, payee name, amount in numerals, amount in words, presenting organisation, and a signature line.<br \/>\n&#8211; Standard size is 1000 mm wide x 450 mm high, which photographs well from 5 metres on most stages.<br \/>\n&#8211; Hold the cheque at chest height, tilted 5-10 degrees toward the camera to avoid glare from overhead lights.<br \/>\n&#8211; Presenter and recipient stand side by side (not opposite), both gripping the cheque, so neither turns their back to the camera.<br \/>\n&#8211; Have a dedicated photographer and a 10-second portrait-mode video clip ready for Instagram Reels.<br \/>\n&#8211; File a one-paragraph media note to local press on the same day. Local news desks respond well to large, readable numerals.\n<\/div>\n<h2>What to Write on the Cheque<\/h2>\n<p>The six fields on a novelty cheque mirror those on a real bank cheque. Get them confirmed before the event so the printed board (or marker pen, if you&#8217;re filling in the amount on the day) is legible on camera.<\/p>\n<h3>The six standard fields<\/h3>\n<table style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:20px 0;\">\n<thead>\n<tr style=\"background:#1a1a1a;color:#fff;\">\n<th style=\"padding:11px 16px;text-align:left;\">Field<\/th>\n<th style=\"padding:11px 16px;text-align:left;\">What to write<\/th>\n<th style=\"padding:11px 16px;text-align:left;\">Notes<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"background:#f9f9f9;\">\n<td style=\"padding:11px 16px;\">Date<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 16px;\">Event date, not print date<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 16px;\">The day the cheque is handed over, not when it was ordered<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background:#fff;\">\n<td style=\"padding:11px 16px;\">Pay to<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 16px;\">Full legal name of the recipient<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 16px;\">Avoid abbreviations that won&#8217;t be recognised in press captions<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background:#f9f9f9;\">\n<td style=\"padding:11px 16px;\">Amount (numerals)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 16px;\">$10,000<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 16px;\">Use bold numerals at least 80-100pt equivalent; they need to read from 5+ metres<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background:#fff;\">\n<td style=\"padding:11px 16px;\">Amount (words)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 16px;\">Ten thousand dollars<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 16px;\">Standard cheque convention; reinforces the figure in captions<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background:#f9f9f9;\">\n<td style=\"padding:11px 16px;\">From<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 16px;\">Presenting organisation or sponsor name<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 16px;\">Include a logo in the cheque design wherever possible<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background:#fff;\">\n<td style=\"padding:11px 16px;\">Signed<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 16px;\">Name and title of signatory<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 16px;\">The signatory should be present at the handover for the photo<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3>Print the amount or leave it blank?<\/h3>\n<p>Print the amount if you know it before the event. A pre-printed figure is sharper and more legible than hand-written marker text, particularly on the rigid 5 mm TEKpvc foamboard surface used for <a href=\"\/products\/novelty-cheques?utm_source=paperlust&amp;utm_medium=internal_link&amp;utm_campaign=tierb_blog\">custom novelty cheques<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If the final figure is confirmed on the night (common for live fundraisers where running totals are announced at the event), order a blank-amount version and use a thick black marker in a large, even hand. Practice writing the number at scale at least once before the event. For recurring events, a dry-erase laminate finish lets you update the amount each time without reordering.<\/p>\n<h2>Sizing for the Stage and the Camera<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image ps-blog-img\" style=\"margin:32px auto;text-align:center;max-width:100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/printshop.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/novelty-cheque-presentation-ceremony-guide-inl1.jpg\" alt=\"A 1000mm wide novelty cheque held up by two presenters on a stage\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:4px;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\" style=\"font-size:0.85em;line-height:1.45;color:#666;margin-top:8px;text-align:center;\">A 1000mm wide novelty cheque held up by two presenters on a stage<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The standard novelty cheque size is 1000 mm wide x 450 mm high. This width allows two people to hold the cheque at their sides without their arms obscuring the text, and the height keeps the font large enough to photograph clearly from 5 metres.<\/p>\n<p>If your stage is particularly wide, or you are presenting in a large hall or outdoor setting, a 1400 mm version carries more visual weight from the back rows. A smaller cheque on a large stage reads as a piece of card in photographs, which undercuts the moment.<\/p>\n<p>Transport note: 1000 mm x 450 mm fits flat in most SUVs and station wagons. If you are transporting via rideshare or a smaller vehicle, measure the boot length before ordering.<\/p>\n<h2>Staging the Handover<\/h2>\n<p>The handover photo fails in one of three ways: someone&#8217;s back is turned, the cheque is held too low for the amount to read clearly, or arms obscure the fields. All three are fixed before the photographer lifts the camera.<\/p>\n<h3>Two-person handovers<\/h3>\n<p>Position the presenter and recipient side by side, with one hand each gripping the left edge and right edge of the cheque. Both face the camera at a very slight angle, no more than 10-15 degrees. Neither person should stand directly behind the cheque.<\/p>\n<p>A static grip reads as a posed formality in photos. If the moment allows it, capture the actual mid-motion exchange of the cheque from one person to the other. The transfer shot is almost always more compelling than the static hold.<\/p>\n<h3>Group or team presentations<\/h3>\n<p>For three or more people, the cheque stays in the centre of the frame. The most senior representative from each organisation holds one end; additional team members step in slightly behind and toward the outer edges, so the cheque face remains fully visible. Keep groups to five people or fewer in the formal shot. Larger groups work better as a candid after the formal photo is done.<\/p>\n<h3>Stage versus table settings<\/h3>\n<p>On a stage with a lectern, move the lectern out of frame before the photo. At a table presentation, check the background in the 3-4 metres behind the principals: remove clutter, close visible doors, and ensure no conflicting branding appears in the shot. A stretch fabric media wall directly behind the subjects gives the cleanest background and keeps the focus on the cheque and the people holding it.<\/p>\n<h2>Getting a Usable Photo<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image ps-blog-img\" style=\"margin:32px auto;text-align:center;max-width:100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/printshop.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/novelty-cheque-presentation-ceremony-guide-inl2.jpg\" alt=\"Clean presentation photo showing the cheque held at chest height and tilted slightly toward the camera\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:4px;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\" style=\"font-size:0.85em;line-height:1.45;color:#666;margin-top:8px;text-align:center;\">Clean presentation photo showing the cheque held at chest height and tilted slightly toward the camera<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Three technical details separate a usable, shareable image from one that sits in a folder.<\/p>\n<h3>Hold height and tilt<\/h3>\n<p>Hold the cheque at chest height, tilted approximately 5-10 degrees forward so the top edge angles toward the camera. Holding the board flat, parallel to the ground, produces glare from overhead stage or venue lighting. Tilting it slightly forward eliminates the reflection and keeps the text readable. Grip both sides firmly so the cheque stays horizontal rather than sagging in the middle.<\/p>\n<h3>Background and lighting<\/h3>\n<p>A plain backdrop or a branded step-and-repeat banner gives the cleanest result. If the venue doesn&#8217;t have one, choose a wall without visible cabling, fire exits, or competitor branding.<\/p>\n<p>Avoid windows directly behind the subjects: backlight will silhouette the people and wash out the cheque surface. For indoor events with overhead lighting, two fill lights at 45 degrees from each side of the subjects work well. Direct on-camera flash pointed straight at the board creates flat lighting and glare on the foamboard surface. If the venue has existing stage lighting, use it.<\/p>\n<h3>A 15-minute shot list<\/h3>\n<p>Block out at least 15 minutes in your event run sheet for the photography moment. Capture these in order:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Wide establishing shot<\/strong> &#8211; the cheque being carried onto the stage or revealed<\/li>\n<li><strong>The handover in motion<\/strong> &#8211; mid-exchange, a genuine moment rather than a pose<\/li>\n<li><strong>The formal posed hold<\/strong> &#8211; clean, both faces toward the camera, full cheque visible<\/li>\n<li><strong>A close crop on the cheque face<\/strong> &#8211; useful for print media captions and press releases<\/li>\n<li><strong>A 10-second portrait-mode video clip<\/strong> &#8211; hold still; the clip itself is the content for Instagram Reels or TikTok<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Have a second person capturing the room&#8217;s reaction on Instagram Stories at the same time. The candid response shot pairs well with the formal image in a post or media kit.<\/p>\n<h2>Social Media and PR: Making the Moment Work Harder<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image ps-blog-img\" style=\"margin:32px auto;text-align:center;max-width:100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/printshop.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/novelty-cheque-presentation-ceremony-guide-inl3.jpg\" alt=\"A polished social media post layout alongside a media release document\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:4px;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\" style=\"font-size:0.85em;line-height:1.45;color:#666;margin-top:8px;text-align:center;\">A polished social media post layout alongside a media release document<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The image is the asset. Get it working across three channels before the event ends.<\/p>\n<h3>Post on the day<\/h3>\n<p>Tag all parties (presenting organisation, recipient, key sponsors) in the caption. Post to both organisations&#8217; accounts using the same image or a set of three crops: wide, mid-close, and cheque-face-only. Lead with the dollar figure in the first line of the caption. &#8220;$10,000 raised for [cause]&#8221; consistently outperforms &#8220;We are so proud to support&#8230;&#8221; as an opening line for reach and engagement.<\/p>\n<p>For Instagram Reels or TikTok, a five-second clip of the cheque being handed across, with a text overlay of the amount, performs well with no editing required. Shoot it vertically on the day.<\/p>\n<h3>Filing for media coverage<\/h3>\n<p>Community newspapers and local news websites run donation handover stories regularly, particularly during major fundraising periods. A strong submission includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A sharp, high-resolution photo (minimum 2 MB, horizontal orientation for print)<\/li>\n<li>A one-paragraph summary covering who, what, how much, why, and when<\/li>\n<li>A direct contact at the recipient organisation for follow-up quotes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Send it the same afternoon as the event. Most community editors work to a 48-72 hour cycle; a same-day submission gives you the best chance of catching the next edition.<\/p>\n<h3>Add a photo opportunity station<\/h3>\n<p>A <a href=\"\/products\/selfie-frames?utm_source=paperlust&amp;utm_medium=internal_link&amp;utm_campaign=tierb_blog\">selfie frame<\/a> positioned near the presentation area extends the handover moment into an ongoing activation. Attendees photograph themselves through the frame alongside your branding, and those images travel onto their personal feeds throughout the event. Pair it with a printed event hashtag for an organic social stream that runs all night.<\/p>\n<p>For a full suite of printed collateral to support your event, explore <a href=\"\/categories\/marketing-materials?utm_source=paperlust&amp;utm_medium=internal_link&amp;utm_campaign=tierb_blog\">marketing materials<\/a> including pull-up banners, counter cards, and branded signage panels.<\/p>\n<h2>Planning Your Presentation Timeline<\/h2>\n<p>Order at least two weeks before your event to allow for design review, production, and shipping transit.<\/p>\n<h3>A reliable countdown<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Three weeks out:<\/strong> Confirm the final amount, payee name, presenting organisation, and signatory. Brief your graphic designer or use a template. Lock in the cheque wording so no changes are needed after artwork is submitted.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Two weeks out:<\/strong> Submit artwork for production. Novelty cheques print and ship within 3-4 working days of design proof approval. Production time begins after proof sign-off, and shipping transit adds additional days depending on your location.<\/li>\n<li><strong>One week out:<\/strong> Confirm receipt of the cheque. Test your marker on the surface if using a blank-amount version. Add a 15-minute photo block to your event run sheet and brief the MC on the handover flow.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Day before:<\/strong> Confirm who stands where, who holds which end, and where the photographer will position themselves. Walk through the sequence in the room if possible.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Day of event:<\/strong> Arrive with a clean soft cloth. Wipe the cheque surface before the first shot to remove any fingerprints or transit marks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Custom novelty cheques from $97.81 inc.

Including the presenting organisation&#8217;s logo in the design helps with recognition in photos and press captions.<\/p>\n<h3>What size novelty cheque is best for a stage presentation?<\/h3>\n<p>The standard size of 1000 mm wide x 450 mm high suits most event stages and photographs well from 5 metres. For large arenas or outdoor presentations with a wide-angle backdrop, a 1400 mm version carries more visual presence from a distance.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you hold a novelty cheque for photos without glare?<\/h3>\n<p>Hold the cheque at chest height and tilt the top edge approximately 5-10 degrees toward the camera. This angle eliminates glare from overhead stage or venue lighting. Both presenters should face the camera directly, standing side by side rather than facing each other.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I order a novelty cheque with the amount left blank?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. If the final amount is confirmed on the event night, order a blank-amount version and fill in the figure with a thick black marker before the handover. For organisations that run recurring presentations, a dry-erase laminate surface allows the amount to be updated and wiped clean for each event.<\/p>\n<h3>How far in advance should I order a novelty cheque for an event?<\/h3>\n<p>Order at least two weeks before your event: allow around one week for artwork preparation and proof approval, plus 3-4 working days for production, plus shipping transit time. Ordering three weeks out provides buffer for any design adjustments.<\/p>\n<h3>How do I get press coverage from a cheque presentation?<\/h3>\n<p>Submit a high-resolution photo (minimum 2 MB, horizontal orientation) and a one-paragraph summary covering who, what, how much, why, and when, to local community newspapers and news websites on the same day as the event. Include a direct media contact at the recipient organisation. Local news desks run donation handover stories regularly and respond well to clean, readable images where the cheque amount is clearly visible.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What should I write on a novelty cheque?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The six standard fields are: the event date, full legal name of the recipient organisation, the donation amount in numerals, the amount in words, the presenting organisation's name, and a signature line.
