Wristbands for Highschool and College Reunions

Reunions for both high school and college can sometimes be a bit overwhelming.  Certainly, we have all seen the movies where the 10 or 20 year reunion occurs and the different groups are coming together again to see what life has been like for everybody. Regardless, of your own experience in high school it can be worthwhile going to the reunion. Wristbands can be created for such an event.

Sure high school was a formative time in almost everyone’s lives yet having a trendy silicone wristband to go home with will at least give you a sense of accomplishment(you survived the reunion).  For example, your high school reunion or college reunion silicone wristband can be created in the school colors and have the name of your school and year of graduation. For college reunions the name of the college or department which is organizing the reunion for its graduates is also a possibility. Perhaps your high school graduating class had a motto for that year, this phrase can also go on the silicone wristband.

Segmented and swirled silicone wristbands are great high school/college reunions because each of these contains multiple colors. Segmented and Swirled wristbands can be created with up to 4 different colors enabling you to include your school’s colors elegantly. Your message, and any artwork can then appear in a variety of colors because of the combination of the colors of the silicone wristband. Visit our wristband creator and get started designing your own customized reunion silicone wristband.  

Friendship Wristbands

Of friendship John Lennon said “I get by with a little help from my friends.”  We all have people in our lives that will laugh with us, cry with us, and catch us if we fall. Even if you don’t talk everyday with that one person or several people the minute you are with that person or them you pick up right where you left off. What better way to honor that friendship than with a personalized silicone wristband. Friendship bracelets woven from thread or yarn used to be the IT thing for many of us during middle school and even into high school. For those of us that are a little older whom have entered the business world, cannot really wear them. Rubber bracelets on the other hand often times look a little more professional and can be easily justified or hidden even for those high business attire work places.

Coming in an array of colors and styles, friendship rubber bracelets can be printed with messages such as “BFFs 4 ever” “together we are stronger” “brother/sister from another mother.”   The options on message are just as expansive as the color selection.  These rubber bracelets are an inexpensive and trendy way to express your bond. If you and your best friends aren’t in the same geographical location and have yearly weekend reunions, a silicone wristband can be created to commemorate the reunion. Once everyone goes home, they will continue to have their silicone wristband as a constant reminder of the fun and laughs shared during said reunion. 

Teens can also create their very own friendship wristbands especially now with the school year coming to an end and graduation, many are entering another stage in their lives. What better way to strengthen the friendship bond than with a friendship silicone wristband.  These friendship silicone wristbands are economical, and can fit any budget.  Simply visit our wristband creator and get started creating your very own wristband today!

Wristbands Rising to the Ocassion

Raised text or embossed silicone wristbands are great way to get your message and logo noticed. Since all text and images stand above the band, these messages have become very popular amongst nonprofit organizations trying to raise funds for those visually impaired individuals. Braille can be produced on these types of bands and are just as durable and long lasting as any of our other products. Many non profit and schools that work with the visually impaired have used this style of wristband for a number of reasons.

Anyone wanting to really get their message across can create an embossed silicone wristband. Companies, nonprofits and charities have all used embossed silicone wristbands because they are most desirable for promotions and marketing due to the fact that the message is often easier to read especially if your wristband is a darker color. Used for raising funds, inspirational quotes for the visually impaired, promotions, marketing; embossed silicone wristbands really do raise to the occasion. Embossed silicone wristbands can be produced with any solid color, swirl or segmented. The limit is your own imagination.

Wristbands for baby showers

The original intent of a baby shower was for women of the family to share their wisdom and lessons they had already learned and pass them on to the new mother. Traditionally baby showers were only thrown for women expecting their first born child. Over the years, this has changed and every child now has their very own baby shower.  Customs, ideals, and themes may have changed over the years however the concept is still the same. Give the mommy- to- be what she may need to make through at least the first few months. Wristbands would make a great addition to any baby shower.  Coming in the traditional baby blue for boys and light pink for girls, siliconewristbands would make a great party keep sake or part of a prize bag for one of the many baby shower games. What about those parents who do not want to know what their baby is?  They too can enjoy a silicone wristband with baby blue and light pink segmented on the actual band and then have their message printed.

In recent years, some more non –traditional styles of baby showers have started to crop up. The co-ed baby shower is starting to become popular amongst younger first time parents. The idea being that both parents will have to raise the child therefore both parents should be “showered” with the necessary gifts and tools. These same types of parents have also changed the rules on the colors for their child. More nontraditional baby colors include yellow, green and sometimes orange.  No matter your color preference, silicone wristbands can be printed for your baby shower with messages such as the date of the baby shower, or the names of the proud parents to be.

Once the bundle of joy is born, wristbands can also be done with the name of the child, date of birth and any other vital information and given to family, friends, and co workers. Visit our wristband creator today.

Festival Wristbands

  Wristbands for  Festivals

Summer festivals run the gambit from music to food and art. A traditional festival in many southern states is the BBQ cook off. Silicone wristbands can be used by the BBQ team for team unity or to distinguish the non cooking team members from the crowds of hungry cook off goers.  Sure T-shirts have been the traditional however being stuck on the grill leaves you with that sweet smokey smell. Silicone wristbands don’t have this issue.  Maybe you’re heading to some of the biggest and famous (or infamous) festivals. With a huge line up, Bonnaroo continues to attract music lovers from around the world and across the country.  With literally thousands of festival goers, it’s hard to imagine the sea of people all camped out and there for one reason… to enjoy some great music. Another world famous festival is Burning Man.  Burning Man takes place out in the desert in Nevada, typically in August. The desert becomes a make shift community for a very long weekend. In both cases with so many people in the same space why not make yourself stand out a little.

A personalized wristband saying “ I SURVIVED Bonnaroo/Burning Man” or  “ Burning Man/Bonaroo or BUST” or “ If lost…” The options on messages are endless but the idea is to have fun with your wristband.  For Burning Man why not create a bulk order and use them to barter since no currency is allowed at Burning Man, you’ll have the next best thing, a funny quirky silicone wristband to barter for what you may need. These are just a few examples of what Festival silicone wristbands can be used for. From festivals big and small, organizers and festival goers alike can take advantage of our silicone wristband which in turn can be used for so many reasons we can’t name them all. The key is to have fun creating your wristband.  Visit us at wristbands.net and get started today with our wristband creator.

Use Silicone Wristbands as Party Invitations

Silicone Wristbands as Invitations

Recently, we were contacted by two separate clients looking for custom silicone wristbands to be used as party invitations. What a great use of a silicone wristband!

One was for a themed party and the other was a teenagers’ house party. The silicone wristband was imprinted with a small slogan and party details on the other side.  For the first client, the themed party is something their organization does on a yearly basis; they decided to use the silicone wristband as the pass to get into their VIP section of the bar where their party would be held. This wristband was filled with color and therefore be long lasting. After the party would be over, the party guests would then have a keepsake and a reminder of what a blast they had.

We have all seen those movies I’m sure of a house party getting a little out of control, some current movie stars became stars because of those teen party movies. This client wished to create a wristband for his sons’ end of school year party. 1 inch wide color coated silicone wristbands were created and off went the teenager. The idea was that only those with a wristband would be allowed to enter the party. Definitely the coolest dad ever! The silicone wristband is one of the best ways to do crowd control because only those with the actual wristband would be allowed entry. The best part is there is really no way of duplicating the wristbands as with stamps or cards. Both father and son decided creating a silicone wristband invitation would save a few trees and be easier to keep unwanted gate crashers from attending and ruining the night or even creating the next big teen house party movie.

Thinking of going green for your next party? Sure one can create an event on facebook or blast twitter with your upcoming party but why not take these two examples and create your very own silicone wristband invitation. The message is simple… give your party a name and include any relevant information and bam! Instant invitation.   Inexpensive silicone wristband invitations are inexpensive, greener than printing off a big quantity on paper and serve as a constant remainder of the upcoming party.

Sweet 16 and Quinceñera are both important steps in a young lady’s life. For many Hispanic families watching their little girl become a woman is a magical time, at the same time watching your little girl become 16 and start driving is one of those things many parents sometimes dread. Both of these celebrations mark a transition in many cultures.  Both the quinceñera and sweet 16 stem from the Victorian era tradition of presenting of ones’ daughters’ to the community once they became of “marriageable” age.  In many southern states in the United States a remnant of this tradition still continues known as the Debutant ball.

Coming in the party girl’s color, the text could be secondary color.

Message may range from the name of the honored young lady and date of event to “Thank You for attending…”

The options are endless. Glitter silicone wristbands  can be just that little extra that can make one girls party the event of the year not only because of the music and food but the simple act of giving your guests a little keep sake that they can wear to show off they happened to be one of the few to actually get into the social event which your community may be speaking about for years to come.

Wristbands are the Way!

T-shirts or silicone wristbands?

The answer is obvious! Silicone wristbands make a much better idea for any occasion you wish to celebrate than a t-shirt. Silicone wristbands are more economical, easier to transport and are in higher demand than t-shirts. How many family reunions, corporate meetings/conferences, fundraisers etc have we all been too? What’s worse is having to find space for yet another t shirt and then trying to find the right occasion to wear them after the event has finished; typically those t shirts become the uniform for the weekend warrior. Silicone wristbands are small and can be worn by even the more “business” minded person in your family or social community.  Rubber bracelets also allow you to step outside of the box a little by going with a nontraditional product to mark a special moment in your life. T shirts in the long run will end up being used as rags for dusting the furniture or cleaning your car. Using silicone wristbands to mark an anniversary party, family reunion, or a corporate event will leave your attendees with something a little smaller that won’t take up any room in their luggage, something that will not shrink or fade with time as with t-shirts.    How many times have we been stuck trying to guess how many of each size to order, or what is worse is trying to figure out what to do with a box of unused, un sold t shirts? Sure we could donate the extras to charity however with a busy schedule, who really has the time to drive that box to their nearest drop off? Wristbands can really save the day! Silicone wristbands tend to be more economical than t-shirts and can sometimes be less of headache. Silicone wristbands take a lot out of the guessing game many of us have experienced when it comes to ordering t-shirts.  Sizes are easily determined and minimum quantity depends on the style of silicone wristband.  Regardless of your event, a silicone wristband is the obvious answer when it comes to the growing question of to order a t-shirt or a silicone wristband. Visit our wristband creator and watch the number of headaches float away leaving you time to really enjoy the event you are planning.

Laser Made Wristbands Vs. Debossed Wristbands

Often times the phone will ring and someone is seeking to create awesome wristbands after looking through www.wristbands.net and finding our wristband creator there is always some confusion about laser made versus debossed.  Looking through the creator can be daunting however we are here to clarify. Laser made and debossed while on the surface look the same, the harsh cold truth is they are not really the same.

Typically, laser made silicone wristbands take us an estimated 3-5 days to produce. Located in Houston, Texas our experienced staff take a blank silicone wristband and place it in a laser (hence laser made). The laser then cuts your custom message and art work into the silicone wristband. Text therefore will appear as the same color as the wristband.

Debossed while may look the same its not! In the debossed wristbands these are manufactured using a steel mold. A steel mold is cast with your custom message including artwork and then the silicone is pressed into the mold and BAM! Your wristband is ready to be worn. Debossed silicone wristbands typically take 10 business days to produce because of the process we take to ensure the best quality and best looking wristband.  Therefore your message and artwork will look deep and smooth on the wristband.

Both styles the message is sunken into the wristband, the devil is in the detail.  With debossed the production time is typically longer yet produces a elegant looking message; however, in the laser made the message is also sunken yet these are typically faster to produce and sometimes a bit more economical . Ultimately the choice and decision is yours. If time is of the essence laser made can be the difference between something and nothing. Any size, shape, or color… laser made and debossed will meet your needs.  Visit our wristband creator and get started today on your debossed or laser made wristbands.   

UV Wristbands for summer

As many parents of elementary school aged children can attest… the sun emits ultraviolet radiation. Our sun produces UVA UVB and UVC types of radiation which allows our planet to sustain all that we see around us. However, in the last few decades the natural shield has been eroded away by mans emissions of certain gasses into the atmosphere which has reduced the effective shield against these most hazardous and yet necessary types of radiation.  UV radiation has certain implication on human health.  From immunity, insulin secretion, blood pressure and even calcium metabolism UVB exposure is a necessity yet many will take advantage of the warmer weather and less clouds to bake themselves in the sun all for that beautiful tan look.

An overexposure to UVB radiation can cause some form of skin cancer. As summer quickly approaches we must protect ourselves and especially our children from the harmful UVA and UVB rays.  Sunscreen is very important especially for those who are outdoor enthusiast.

Many dermatologists have begun creating these with simple messages to distribute to their patients or simply as a way to get their own message across that while fun in the sun is important one must respect the sun as well. Visiting our wristband creator you too can take advantage of a UV wristband. These can be imprinted with your own message maybe to your loved ones to head in doors for a while or to apply more sunscreen.

Wristbands for the month of may

May for many will be a month they will not soon forget. Many parents and grandparents will see their young one become an adult and enter the world full of hopes and aspirations. Graduation marks an important step in “growing up”; it can be the first step into entering the adult world. Why not have this event documented on a wristband? For many graduating from high school it can be preparing to enter college or a vocational school or simply just entering the work force. For the teachers out there, it’s a time of pride and maybe even some relief that all your hard work and dedication has come to fruition and you have done the best to prepare your student of the challenges that come next. A silicone wristband while not a traditional gift can be a small token to mark the end of one chapter and the beginning of the next one.

By now most high school seniors have begun receiving their invitations, class ring, the keep sake books and a ton of other memorabilia to mark this most auspicious rite of passage.  Why not step outside of the box a bit by including or substituting one of those objects with a silicone wristband.  School officials or PTAs can take advantage of our color filled or screen printed silicone wristbands and create a customized wristband to honor their graduates. These can be in the school colors with a message of encouragement and praise or just in simple black with the text filled with another color. The best part is these will last a lot longer than the glass chalk writings we are all going to start seeing around our respective communities.  Many schools out there will also be having Pro Grad celebrations, those wonderful last school functions many of us had to endure. Silicone wristbands can be used as crowd control or simply to gain access to the school sponsored event. Parents and relatives can also take advantage of our wristband creator and create a customized silicone wristband for those in their family.

Silicone wristbands can also be created for college and graduate school grads. For those out there who are getting ready to enter the real big people world, it’s a time of excitement and nervousness and so many other emotions.  Again silicone wristbands are not a traditional gift or even keep sake however, from one graduate it would make a nice token. College organizations can honor their graduating members with a silicone wristband to show their gratitude for years of service or simply as a good luck as those members take the plunge into the “grown up” world.

Whatever your reason, take advantage of our wristband creator and get started on your Class of 2012 graduation wristbands.
