As an event planner or organizer, you know how important it is to make your events stand out. Custom apparel is a great way to do that, but finding the right designs can be a challenge – especially when you’re relatively new to all of this. That’s where custom heat transfer printing comes in. With endless design possibilities, you can create unique and memorable apparel for any holiday event. Don’t know where to start? Let these ideas serve as your inspiration:
Easter
Easter is a wonderful time to celebrate with family and friends, but if you’re charged with obtaining shirts that would be appropriate for your church’s easter egg hunt, for example, you also have to be careful that your designs are fun for the kids but also spiritually appropriate. Luckily, heat transfer printing gives you the freedom to create unique and memorable apparel that everyone will love, from classic Easter designs to playful springtime graphics.
Here are ideas to get you started:
• “Egg-cited for Easter” with an egg design
• “Some-bunny Loves You” with a cute bunny graphic
• “Hoppy Easter” with a hopping bunny design
• “Chillin’ with my Peeps” with a marshmallow peep graphic
• “He Is Risen” with a cross design
Fourth of July
Just saying the name of the holiday conjures up the sights and sounds of fireworks and the tempting smells of barbecue and smoked meat. The Fourth of July is also a popular time for events like company picnics and even participating in a parade. From classic American flag designs to playful graphics like fireworks and hot dogs, here are some red-white-and-blue ideas to show your company’s pride on the Fourth of July.
• “American as Apple Pie” with an apple pie graphic
• “Red, White, and BBQ” with a grill design
• “Home of the Brave” with a map of the United States
• “Land of the Free” with an eagle design
• “Stars and Stripes Forever” with a star and stripe pattern
Halloween
Who says only kids get to have fun on Halloween? Some communities want to keep their kids safe on the scariest of nights and host the trick-or-treating event themselves, as opposed to having kids going door-to-door across various neighborhoods. From classic jack-o’-lantern designs to spooky graphics like ghosts and skeletons, there are countless ways to get creative with some Halloween apparel – and you can organically include essential details on the shirts, too, such as the event organizer’s website and/or phone number.
• “Boo Yah!” with a ghost graphic
• “Trick or Treat Yo’ Self” with a candy design
• “Trick or Treatin’ & Eatin’ Treats” with a candy corn design.
• “Fangs for the Memories” with a vampire teeth design
• “Creepin’ It Real” with a spooky ghost design
Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is a time for giving thanks and spending time with loved ones. It’s also when communities band together for events like a Turkey Trot or services that feed the underserved. From funny turkey designs to elegant fall leaves, plenty of options will put you in a festive mood.
• “Gobble ‘Til You Wobble” with a turkey graphic
• “Thankful and Blessed” with a pumpkin design
• “Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice” with a pumpkin spice latte graphic
• “Eat, Drink, and Be Thankful” with a feast graphic
• “Grateful Hearts Gather Here” with a heart and turkey graphic
Winter holidays
The holiday season is a time for joy, cheer, and festivities. And lots of terrible, horrible, tacky – but fun – holiday sweaters and apparel. Is your company participating in a holiday parade? The winter holidays are also a busy time of the year for caterers who may be serving an office holiday party or event. From traditional designs like Santa Claus and reindeer to playful graphics like snowflakes and candy canes, there’s no shortage of options for your holiday apparel.
• “Jingle All the Way” with a bell graphic
• “Merry and Bright” with a light bulb design
• “Let It Snow” with a snowflake graphic
• “Deck the Halls” with a tree and ornament design
• “Fa La La La Llama” with a llama wearing a scarf graphic
Valentine’s Day
Charity runs and fundraisers. Valentine’s Day isn’t just for sending flowers and chocolates to your love interest – it’s also a day that charities and non-profits use to raise awareness about their causes, like a cancer run or a women’s shelter. And, of course, you can’t forget about school dances – the kids will be dressed up, but they’d probably love some custom-designed apparel like shirts to commemorate the dance or school spirit apparel. From classic heart designs to playful graphics like cupids and flowers, there are countless ways to get creative with your Valentine’s Day apparel.
• “Love Shack” with a house design
• “I’m Sweet on You” with a candy heart graphic
• “I Love You a Latte” with a coffee cup graphic
• “Bee Mine” with a bee and honeycomb graphic
• “Cupid Is Stupid” with a broken arrow design
Heat transfers = fast turnaround
Custom heat transfer printing is a fun and creative way to celebrate any holiday, and these ideas will make your apparel stand out in a crowd. And you typically get a relatively fast turnaround when you use heat transfers for your printing. The best part? These shirts can also serve as an organic way to market something, whether it’s your business or your corporate mission statement.
