Galas run hot and run long. Real bamboo fans cool the guests, carry the event branding, and walk home as the keepsake the host actually wanted to give. Bulk pricing keeps the budget honest.
Why Fans Work for This Event
Galas put guests in their seats for stretches that paper handouts cannot survive. A real bamboo fan moves real air and stays in hand the whole night.
Front of the fan carries the event mark or the couple monogram. Back of the fan carries the schedule, the sponsor block, or the thank-you note. One object, two pages, no upcharge for the second side.
Real bamboo holds shape, holds ink, and holds up. The fan that arrives at the venue is the fan we proofed. Real material outlasts the event and shows up in homes for years.
Design Notes for Galas
- Front of fan — Event name, date, brand or couple mark. Read from across the room without leaning in.
- Color palette — Pull straight from the invitation, the brand book, or the room palette.
- Handles — Custom handle text for VIPs, head table, or table numbers as place cards.
- Photo print — Real photos reproduce clean on bamboo. Best at high resolution and high contrast.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many fans for a formal gala?
One per guest with minimal extras (gala guests don't "forget" favors—they carefully keep them). 150-person gala = 160 fans. At 150+ units, price is $13/fan with free custom design.
Should fans match the gala theme?
Yes. Galas often have themes. Masquerade galas = mask imagery and jewel tones. Gold gala = golds and champagne tones. Design should match theme while maintaining sophistication.
Can we include multiple sponsor logos?
Yes. The fan works perfectly for sponsor logos arranged in organized rows. Formal arrangements look better than scattered layouts. Sponsors appreciate the visibility at high-end events.
What makes fan design appropriate for formal dress code?
Metallics, jewel tones, minimal/clean layouts, formal typography, and upscale color schemes. Avoid bright primary colors, cartoon imagery, or busy patterns. Think "luxury hotel lobby" not "beach resort."
