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?

Painted Chocolate Boxes for Stam Chocolaterie , Glen Ellyn

A local chocolate shop I have loved working for, Stam Chocolaterie Glen Ellyn, was a stop along the ladies night out this past Spring in Glen Ellyn, IL. I had so much fun painting boxes and bands for their chocolate with florals, perfect for Mother’s Day celebrations and Graduations!

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?
