A fun night celebrating NHS Chicago 50th Anniversary celebration held at the always fun Griffin Museum of Science and Industry. Guest’s had the opportunity to choose a white or orange luggage tag for me to customize with a name of initials—some went silly, some went straight forward and some went simple, like my favorite “Q” tags you see below for a couple. What would you write on your tag?
Adding Customization to your next Corporate Event
Adding a customization experience to your event will always give your guests a “wow!” moment! From customizing liquor glasses to metal keychains, they will be excited to not only see the customization work done in front of them but take the item home for themselves or a loved one.
If it can be written on, it can be customized! Recent items that have been customized at corporate events include metal keychains, metal bottle openers, luggage tags and whiskey glasses! What would you want customized at your next event?
Personalized Engraving: Thank You gift, Whiskey Bottle Engraving
This customer reached out to me to create these beautiful, custom thank you gifts for their builder and design team that recently completed her and her families new home.
She wanted something that would remind them of their home that recently was completed, but also be used. She ultimately chose whiskey bottles they could display on their shelf or alcohol carts well into or even after they have drank the whiskey.
I created a custom, waterproof label with a personalized watercolor drawing of their new home and then etched in the glass each logo for each design firm. A one of kind keepsake!
This was such a fun combination of my skills and things I love to do. To see more of the bottles and the engraving check out the video on my Instagram!
Engraved Whiskey Glasses for a Corporate Event
One of my favorite take-away items for corporate parties is the simple rocks glass. These drinking glasses are the perfect thickness for glass engraving and no matter if you actually drink whiskey, they are a fun drink to have for your favorite beverage or just a pen holder on your desk.
These types of events are always fun to see what people would like to have engraved on the glass. Above, the woman just wanted flowers and gave me create free-reign to do whatever I liked. I loved how it turned out. Below you will see examples of cheeky sayings (left) or nicknames (right). No matter what the guest asked for, it is always a good time seeing their face when they come back to pick them up.
Hot Foil Calligraphy Offering
I love getting to be apart of so many special events–especially corporate events! You can add a special touch to your next corporate event by adding calligraphy customization with hot foil.
Hot foil is the art of using a special metallic plastic coating with a hot pen to adhere or melt it into the surface such as a notebook or faux leather item.
This fun event was a delayed holiday party where each attendee had the opportunity to pick a notebook or pouch with the company logo and have me add whatever they like written in hot foil!
Most people will opt to write there initials or name, but I always receive a few fun phrases to add to the items.
What would you add on your item?
