Events are won in the two weeks before. Here's the print you'll need, in the order you'll need it, with lead times that leave room for a proof.
Four weeks out
- Save-the-date postcards or invitations (allow a week for mailing)
- Large-format banners and step-and-repeat backdrops
- Signage that needs a stand or frame
Two weeks out
- Programs, agendas and menus
- Name badges and lanyards
- Table numbers, tent cards and place cards
One week out
- Directional signs and A-frames
- Raffle tickets, drink tickets, vouchers
- Thank-you cards to hand out as guests leave
Tips from the floor
Print 10% extra of anything handed out. Put the event date on badges, so the design isn't reused by mistake next year. For outdoor signage, ask for the weatherproof vinyl option rather than paper.
