Print Parties for Special Occasions: A Fun & Creative Way to Celebrate
Create Something Memorable
Some of my favorite moments at The Awesome Company happen during our print parties. There is music playing, people laughing, heat presses warming up, and that spark of excitement when someone sees their design pressed onto a shirt for the very first time. Print parties are hands on, creative, and honestly just a really fun way to celebrate special occasions.
We host print parties around holidays with special themes, and the idea is simple. Guests purchase their blank apparel ahead of time, then come to the party and choose from a wide variety of premade designs that match the theme. Our team helps them heat press the designs, and they leave with a totally custom garment they made themselves. No design experience required and no crafting mess to take home.
These events are about more than just printing shirts. They are about creating something memorable, expressing creativity, and celebrating together. In this blog, I am excited to share what print parties are, how they work at TAC, and why they have become such a fun and creative way to celebrate holidays and special moments.
What Are Print Parties?
Print parties are creative, hands on events where guests design and customize their own apparel in a fun, guided environment. Instead of ordering something online and waiting for it to arrive, people get to be part of the process and walk out wearing something they helped create.
At The Awesome Company, guests purchase their blank apparel ahead of time so everything is ready when they arrive. During the party, they choose from a large selection of premade designs that fit the theme of the event. With help from our team, they heat press the designs onto their garment and leave with a finished piece the same day.
We also offer premade embroidered apparel at many print parties, giving guests the option to choose something stitched and ready to wear.
The best part is that no design skills are required. All artwork is created in advance by our design team, so guests can focus on choosing what they love and enjoying the experience.
Why Print Parties Are Perfect for Special Occasions
Print parties turn a celebration into an experience. Guests do not just attend, they participate, create, and leave with something meaningful.
They Create Lasting Memories
When someone presses their own design onto a garment, it becomes a memory tied to that moment. Every time they wear it later, they remember the celebration.
They Work Beautifully for Holidays and Themes
Holiday and themed print parties feel intentional and cohesive. Designs match the occasion, making the experience feel festive and special.
They Are Accessible to Everyone
Because all designs are premade and press ready, anyone can participate with confidence. Kids, adults, beginners, and creatives all feel comfortable jumping in.
They Combine Fun and Function
Guests leave with something they can actually wear. A custom shirt or sweatshirt becomes part of their everyday wardrobe, not something tucked away.
They Encourage Connection
Print parties spark conversation and collaboration. People share opinions, celebrate finished pieces, and connect through creativity.
