The 9 Must-Haves for an Event in Minnesota:
1. Get the Word Out: Save-The-Dates, RSVPs & Invitations
- Ever worry your turnout could fall short with email invites? Get the buzz going with our cost-effective, proven solutions. Start with your address list, and let's spread the word with a 9x6 postcard or a nice folded mail piece.
- Trying to reach a larger audience? We can start with your member list or donor list and add behavioral lookalikes who are most likely to join your cause.
- Give them something to remember you by. Flyers and brochures are great promotional leave-behinds to keep your event top-of-mind.
- And for personal events, get the party started with stylish invitations that set the tone! Whether it's a chic wedding, a fun birthday bash, or a corporate gala, our invitations are designed to impress. Set the mood with custom designs, premium paper, and a range of colors.

- Direct Traffic with Wayfinding Signs - Help your guests find their way with clear directional signs. Perfect for large venues and outdoor events.
- Build Buzz with Step and Repeat Banners - Roll out the red carpet! Your guests are the star as they pose for pics (and tag you on social media!) in front of a banner with a pattern of logos. Step and Repeat banners store easily and can be reused many times at trade shows and events.
- Stand Tall with Retractable Banners - Banners roll up in the compact base and pull tight to the top, making setup and takedown a breeze. They're easy to carry, making them ideal for trade shows, fundraisers, and conferences.
- Make the Space Yours with Posters and Backdrops - Visually communicate the theme and build the mood of a room, creating an immersive atmosphere.

4. Keep Everyone Engaged with Programs & Guides
Keep your crowd informed and in the loop. They want to know the schedule, who is speaking next, and how to follow up. A professionally designed program enhances the guest experience, and gives them something to bring home to remember.
Most program guides are saddle-stitched while others are simple bifolded brochures. It all depends on your design ideas, and much detail you want to include.
For fundraising events, we can add a QR Code and make it easy for people to donate!
