Did you know that something as simple as a wristband can make a big impact on your Christmas party?

Since party season is in full swing, we’re dedicating this post to party wristbands and the many ways they can add colour and fun to your event.

Read on to find five ingenious ways wristbands can help make your festive gathering a success, creating happy memories along the way.

Wristbands as name cards

If you’re planning a sit-down dinner over the festive season, you’ll love this unique twist on the traditional name card.

Get silicone wristbands customised with your guests’ names so they can find their place easily at your table.

As well as having practical use, a party wristband can be used long after the event as a memento of a great evening.

If your party has a festive theme, you can choose red and green wristbands to reflect the Christmas spirit. Or opt for guests’ favourite colours to add an extra personal touch.

Wristbands as party favours

If you have warm memories of receiving goodie bags at parties when you were a kid, revive the tradition for your festive get-together.

Make up some party bags for guests to take away and include some affordable but practical gifts that they can put to good use.

Wristbands are perfect for this purpose — even better if you have them personalised with your guests’ names and the date of your party.

Wristbands as game tokens

What’s a party without some fun and games? There are lots of ways wristbands can help you organise games for your party guests.

Allocate each guest a different coloured set of wristbands to use as game tokens, making it easy to keep track of their score.

Or arrange a treasure hunt where players find wristbands as they go along. The player wearing the most wristbands at the end gets to choose a prize from a selection.

There are endless possibilities when it comes to using wristbands for party games, so let your imagination run riot!

Wristbands as name tags

Parties can be daunting if you don’t know anyone there. Make it easy for your guests by creating some unique name tags for easy introductions.

Customise wristbands with guests’ names as a fun icebreaker for your party guests. Since everybody will be wearing a wristband, partygoers will find it easier to introduce themselves and get talking.

You could also use our custom silicone solid dog tags for a fun variation on the name tag theme. They’re available in a wide range of attractive colours and can be customised with your own logo or design for a unique look. (By the way, our dog tags also make great party favours for children’s parties!)

Wristbands for larger events

If you’re planning a ticketed or larger event, wristbands can help you with a number of different functions.

Tyvek wristbands provide a secure alternative to tickets. They’re made from a paper-like material that can be customised with the details of your event.

What sets them apart from paper is their durability — because you can only remove your party admission wristband by cutting it off, you can stop eventgoers from sharing wristbands and gaining free entry.

You can use colour-coded wristbands to allow entry to certain areas at your event or opt for token wristbands to manage food and drink sales. This means attendees can pre-pay for their refreshments, avoiding the need to carry cash or other payment methods.

If you’re going for a festival-themed event, then check out our range of fabric wristbands — they can be worn after the event has finished and will serve as a reminder of a fun-filled party.

Choose wristbands to make your event a success

Party time is one of the best seasons of the year, so make the most of it by paying attention to all the little details that will make your event a success.

Check out our range of silicone, Tyvek and fabric wristbands — they can all be customised with your guests’ names or the date of your event for an original touch.

Know that we ship our products across Australia with short delivery times, and we can even cater to rush orders if time isn’t on your side!

By the way, our sister company, Mediband, offers a wide range of customisable medical wristbands, which can also be invaluable over the party season.

If you or a loved one has a health condition, then be sure to invest in a wristband with their details in case of an emergency while you’re out and about this December.

And remember, whatever you’re doing this festive season — stay safe and have fun!
