What to order first for an event
Start with the photo spot, because it shows up in every picture after the event. A 10' W x 8' H Step and Repeat Backdrop with graphic and frame is $534.99. The frame comes with it, and it is produced the next day after you approve the proof. It is printed in the USA and ships by ground to any US address.
Next, greet people at the door. An 18" × 24" Foam Board Sign is $74.99. A welcome sign tells guests they are in the right place and sets the colors for the whole room.
Then dress one table that every guest walks past, such as the gift, dessert or check in table. A 30” x 72” Table Runner is $117.69.
Step and repeat backdrops
A step and repeat is a backdrop with a repeating pattern of logos, names or a monogram. The name comes from how guests use it: step in, pause for a photo, step out, repeat. Because the pattern repeats, every photo shows the names no matter where people stand.
Ours is 10' wide by 8' tall with the graphic and frame. That fits a group photo with room on each side. Put it on a wall or corner with space in front for the photographer and decent light on the backdrop.
For a smaller photo spot or a second station, a retractable banner stand sets up in one piece. A 33" x 81" Standard Retractable banner stand is $213.99. A banner also works behind a head table or on a stage. A 6' × 3' 13oz Standard Custom Printed Banner is $133.
Welcome signs and wayfinding
18" x 24" is a common welcome sign size for an easel. Foam board is light and smooth, which suits indoor signs: welcome, seating, the bar or the program for the evening. Foam board signs are produced in 3 business days after proof approval.
Outdoors, use a sign that stands on its own. A Standard Signicade A-frame with a 24" x 36" graphic is $267.49. Put it at the parking lot or the venue door so guests know where to go.
Inside, floor graphics mark an entrance, a logo spot or the start of a line. A 24" × 36" Anti-Slip Indoor Floor Graphic is $64.19. They are indoor anti-slip vinyl with UL certified slip resistance. Posters cover the rest of the walls and easels. 25 12x18 16pt Gloss posters are $106.99, which is about $4.28 a poster.
Table covers, runners and table tents
Printed table linens carry the names, monogram or logo without extra decor. A 48” Standard Height Round Table Cover is $288.89. A 30” x 72” Table Runner is $117.69. Both are produced the next day after proof approval.
Table tents stand on every table with the schedule, the drink list, a hashtag or a sponsor thank you. 1,000 4x6 Tri-Fold Cover Stock table tents are $641.99, which is about $0.64 a table tent. They take 3 to 5 business days after proof approval.
Outdoor festivals, fairs and street events
A branded tent gives an organizer, sponsor or booth a spot people can find. A 10x10 Event Tent with canopy graphic and frame is $973.69. Canopy tent orders include the artwork design, and tents are produced in 3 to 4 business days after proof approval.
Always weigh down every leg. Tent Hardware sells sandbag sets (4 piece), replacement 10x10 frames, wheeled carry bags, flag holders and half wall hardware.
Feather flags mark entrances, stages and sponsor areas from across a field. A Large 14ft Feather Angled Flag is $224.69. Yard signs point people to parking and restrooms. An 18" x 24" 4mm Coroplast Standard Yard Sign is $64.99.
Not ready to buy the tent? Canopy Mockup & Print Files give you the canopy mockup and print files first. Order the canopy within 30 days and that amount comes off the canopy, before tax.
Timeline for weddings, parties and festivals
Work back from the event date. Leave time to approve the proof, then add production and ground shipping. Production counts from proof approval: next day for the step and repeat, retractable, table covers, runners, flags and yard signs; 48 hours for posters and floor graphics; 3 business days for foam board signs, banners and A-frames; 3 to 5 business days for table tents; 3 to 4 business days for tents.
Lock names, dates and spelling before you approve the proof. A proof is the last chance to catch a typo before it prints.
Proof, artwork and reusing your design
You get a free proof with every order. We email the digital proof after you place your order, and nothing prints until you approve it.
No artwork yet? Check out and send your names, colors and a sample you like, or choose Design it for me. For a yearly event, reorder from the order page in your account or the Order again link in your shipped order email. The artwork on file carries over, so you only send the new date.
Shipping to any US address
Everything is printed in the USA and ships by ground to any US address. Shipping is $10 for each different product on an order, so a backdrop and a table runner on the same order ship for $20.
