Directional Signage
We've seen a lot of requests for event signage tips. This is an area I have always enjoyed pondering before an event, walking a space as if I've never seen it and trying to imagine what my experience would be like as a guest. If you're a little unsure where the restrooms are and how to get back to the meeting room during your site check, your guests will be too.
Having a large banner outside any event is a huge help to your guests and also sets the tone as an organized function before they walk in the door. I personally like freestanding retractable 3x8 banners that are easy to set up, re-use and ship if needed. These banners are great for branding throughout large venues and next to your registration tables.
To save money, and trees, consider creating large black arrows that can be laminated and used at all your upcoming events. By adding Velcro to the back of the arrows, you can simply create generic signs for placement on easels with your logo and the words "Restroom" or "Registration" and place the correct arrow on the sign. This is a great trick if you're in multiple venues and are not exactly sure where each sign will be placed at the time you go to press.
We've uploaded a list of basic event signage to the Event Templates section. More entries on signage will be posted this week. Thanks for the feedback.

Gala Tent - The ideal way to celebrate your event in style
It’s always stressful planning a party - where to go, what to do? The hassle of transport; local pubs and clubs jam-packed with strangers struggling to buy drinks from the bar. Why not host your own party at home?! You may be celebrating a wedding, moving into a new house, enjoying a summer barbecue. Perhaps your special event is a birthday, anniversary, New Year’s Eve, team building or office party. Party Tent Packs provide an inexpensive way to add glamour and space to your event with our extensive range of Party Tents to suit all budgets and occasions starting from just £99
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Be the host with the most - everyone will be talking about your event for years to come. There’s nothing better than inviting friends, family or work colleagues round for food and drink and catching up on all the latest news.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our Party Tents will provide the extra room you require and you won’t have to worry about the unpredictable English weather! The Party Tent Pack is your insurance ‘cover’.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the event is over you will have a marquee available for special occasions in the future. You could even hire the Party Tent out to friends or business associates, and they’ll always be family members who’d love to borrow it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10 great Party Tent ideas to get that party started:
1. If you’re planning a party with friends, why not have a whip round to pay towards the purchase of a Party Tent. The Party Tent Pack also has all the accessories you may need – tables, chairs and even a dance floor!
2. Send invitations out giving your event that special personal touch. Don’t forget to mention bring a bottle!
3. Fancy dress parties are great fun. Why not theme the event: gangster and moll, horror, super heroes, TV characters, cartoon, back to school
4. Karaoke competition - everybody thinks they can sing after a few jars! You could even make this a chance to dress up as your favourite artiste, just like ‘Stars in their eyes’.
5. Murder mystery parties are always enjoyable and inexpensive.
6. ‘James Bond’s Casino Night’ is always popular: guys suited and booted, girls in classy evening dress. Now, really Miss Moneypenny.
7. Charity nights are a great way to raise funds for a good cause.
8. Race nights, - everyone likes a little flutter and they’re easy to organise.
9. We’re obsessed with quizzes in the UK! Pop quiz, sports, general knowledge: choose your teams and let the contest begin.
10. Relive your youth with a 60’s disco – or, in my case, a 90’s disco!!
