Why Fans Work for Silent Auction & Charity Gala Fans
Silent Auction & Charity Gala Fans brings people into a hot room or a hot field for hours. A real bamboo fan moves real air and stays in hand the whole time. Cheap fans tear in an hour. Bamboo holds.
Front of the fan carries the headline. Silent Auction & Charity Gala Fans mark, date, host name, or the photo that matters. CMYK runs the colors the brief calls for, edge to edge, on real wood grain.
Back of the fan carries the schedule, the scripture, the sponsor block, or the message the host wanted on every guest. One fan, two pages, no upcharge for the second side. Free design help unlocks at 25 fans.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the typical budget for gala fan favors?
Most nonprofits spend $12–16 per fan at gala volumes (100–300 fans). That puts the total favor cost at $1,200–4,800 for a 100–300 person event—a small line item that signals real budget to donors. Upgraded finishes (metallic, holographic) add $2–3 but are worth it for the perceived value.
Can we use a fan as both a silent auction item AND favor?
Absolutely. Order a batch of 30–50 fans to highlight as silent auction items, then order a second batch of 100–200 for table favors. Two different designs tell a cohesive story: one celebrates the specific auction item, the other marks the night as a whole.
Do you offer white-glove packaging for gala favors?
Standard packaging is bulk-friendly, but you can request custom wrapping (in-house or via local gift wrapper). We recommend budgeting $1–2 per fan for presentation. For galas, it's worth it—the unboxing moment matters.
How early should we order for a fall gala?
Galas usually happen September–November. Order by late May or early June to secure your 30-day window comfortably, and buffer 1–2 weeks for packaging/assembly. That gives you the fan in hand by mid-July with time to integrate into gala logistics.
Can we feature a different design for each table or auction category?
Yes. We can do small-batch runs (minimum 10–25 fans per design). If you have 8 tables and want 25 fans per design, you'd order 200 total across 8 unique designs. Cost per fan stays competitive at the 200+ tier ($8–11).
