Swag Planning

Start with your logo, school colors, mascot, or an event theme that you design, and then get as extravagant or simple as you want – yes, simple can still be fun! If you’re on a budget, consider home printed stickers, ink stamps or Cricut machines that make it easy to personalize just about anything (such as tags for small potted flowers or succulents, cups, candy wrappers, gift bags of sweet treats, and t-shirt iron-ons). 


Important Questions to Ask When Choosing a Swag / Party Favor Vendor
For larger groups and more formal events, choose a vendor to create custom t-shirts, hats, party favors, and swag. Doing your internet research will often stretch your budget and ensure there aren’t any surprises. 

  • Will you be purchasing local or ordering something custom on-line?

  • How likely is it that this item will be kept and used?

  • What are the discounts by quantity?

  • What sizes will you need?

  • Are any sites offering seasonal discounts or deals?

  • What is the lead time to produce and ship your items?

  • What is the cost and timing of shipping?

  • How is the company’s quality and customer service rating?
