People have been using silicone wristbands and bracelets as fashion accessories since the 1980s. However, through the years, the use of rubber wristbands has evolved. Aside from their use as personal accessories, you can use them as learning aids, party souvenirs, marketing tools, event accessories, etc.

Today, there are many ways to customise wristbands to achieve your goals and convey certain messages. Custom wristbands can be branded or printed with the logo or text you want. You can even select the material you want to use, such as bamboo, Tyvek, fabric or silicone.

Wristbands are also considered a practical, cost-effective marketing tool. This is why customised options provide more than just a choice of colour or material. You can include information about an event, including the organiser’s name and event date. During special events, custom wristbands can be used as identification tools or passes and as special souvenirs.

Now that Christmas and New Year are just around the corner, you might find yourself needing silicone wristbands for your family or workplace event. Here are a few ways by which you can use them:

1. Party invitations

Since silicone wristbands are customisable, you can use them as party invitations, too. You can send them by mail or distribute them personally. Each wristband would bear the name of the event, the venue, date and time. You could require all attendees to wear their wristband to the event.

If you have a big event, you can even ask invitees to use their wristband as their party pass and food and drink token. This means your customised wristbands will be performing more than one function: as party invites, passes, food and drink tokens, and souvenirs.

2. White elephant gifts

During Secret Santa or white elephant gift exchanges, silicone wristbands are an option you can consider. To make it meaningful, you can have it printed with a greeting or funny message that everyone can appreciate. You can also add a dash of practicality to your wristband gift by wrapping it around some hand sanitisers.

3. Club or group holiday souvenirs

Christmastime is a great occasion for spreading holiday cheer using custom wristbands. If you have a book club, bible study group, running club or any type of organisation, you can use wristbands as holiday souvenirs. Distribute them as Christmas bracelets that not only deliver positive messages but also strengthen team spirit.

4. Party favours or holiday giveaways

You can use silicone wristbands or customised wristbands as part of your event holiday giveaways. If it’s a family affair, you can even personalise them to include your surname. You can include the wristbands with your special cookie and holiday treats tray or basket.

You can also hang them up with your décor. At the end of the party, you can ask everyone to take one home as a souvenir. Aside from holiday greetings, you can have an inspirational message printed on all of them.

For both family and corporate parties, you can distribute customised wristbands saying ‘Merry Christmas’ or ‘Happy New Year’ to all your party guests. The wristbands you give them will serve as mementoes of the holiday party you’ll be holding this year.

If you’re exchanging goodies in your neighbourhood, you can include wristbands with your neighbourly gifts. Have your family name imprinted along with your holiday message to make the exchange more personal and meaningful.

Furthermore, if you're a business owner, you can include free wristbands with customer purchases. You can also distribute them to passers-by. Your wristbands can then work as excellent marketing tools. They’ll help promote your business and earn people’s goodwill at the same time.
