Event types / holiday parties
The holiday favor people actually keep
Every December closet holds a pile of forgotten party swag. Personalization is what breaks the pattern — a hoodie with your name stitched at the cuff doesn’t go in the donate bag.
Garments that fit the season
Holiday bookings skew heavyweight: Gildan 18500 hoodies, crewnecks, beanies with stitched cuffs, and — the sleeper hit at hotel parties — plush robes monogrammed at the chest. A three-item menu (hoodie, beanie, robe) in two colorways each keeps decisions quick and lets us pre-stage sizes by department if HR shares a headcount split.
Thread palettes go rich in December: metallic gold on forest green, tone-on-tone cream, burgundy script. We test-stitch your shortlist on the actual blanks and send photos before you commit, so the look is decided in November, not debated at the party.
Book the date before the menu
The two December Saturdays before Christmas sell out across every vendor category, embroidery crews included. The practical order of operations: hold your date with us first (a venue city and guest estimate is enough), then finalize garments in early November when blank inventory is still deep. Companies between 100 and 250 guests usually land in the mid-tier package with a stitch + patch hybrid; larger parties add a second head. Numbers live on the pricing page, and the cost answer walks a 200-person party example end to end.
One more December-specific tip: run the bar during dinner service, not after the program. Guests visit in table waves instead of one crush at the end, and coats-on departures don’t strand finished pieces at the rack. Your coordinator and ours can lock that flow in one call — (562) 614-4800.
