Live Printing for Weddings & Private Parties in Washington DC

A live printing station, and favors your guests actually wear home.

Weddings and private parties in DC run from cocktail hour to send-off, and the station should feel like part of the evening, not a vendor table. Guests pick a design, we print it, and they go home with a favor they'll actually wear.

We print at weddings, birthdays, bar and bat mitzvahs and private parties across the DMV, from a Georgetown reception or a rooftop at the Wharf to a backyard in Bethesda. Because the crew flies in from Fullerton, the travel line is the same whatever the guest count, so booking early is what keeps it reasonable.

What live t-shirt printing looks like at a DC celebration

Space and power for a live printing station at a DC reception

The station needs a 10×10 ft spot and two 120V/20A circuits the DJ and the bar aren't already on. At a downtown hotel ballroom, have the banquet captain write a dedicated circuit and our load-in window onto the banquet order, because a lot of those buildings only let vendors in through the dock at set times. Georgetown's townhouse and historic-house venues are lovely and tight: narrow stairs, a couple of outlets per room, so tell us which room the station goes in and we'll bring cord to reach it. On a Wharf or Navy Yard rooftop, wind comes straight off the water, and we weight the canopy and keep the shirt stacks clipped down. For a backyard party in Bethesda, Arlington or Alexandria, text us a photo of the breaker panel and we'll pick between a cord run and a generator. July and August are humid with evening thunderstorms, so a covered terrace or a spot just inside the doors keeps the presses dry. A shirt takes about two minutes and two presses do 100+ an hour, which gets 150 guests wearing theirs in about 90 minutes. Freight ships ahead from Fullerton and the crew flies in the day before.
