Custom Hand Fans, Made Properly
Wood, bamboo, and satin, printed with your artwork, monogram, or logo. Not paper. Not a kit you assemble the night before. The favor your guests keep.
FSC-certified materials · Pantone color matching · Digital proof before we print · 30-fan minimum
Why Most Custom Fans Disappoint
You've seen the cheap ones. Paper, printed thin, ribs that snap by the second toast. They get left on the table with the half-finished cake and swept into a bin at midnight.
That's not a favor. That's a line item you paid for twice, once to buy, once to throw away.
Ours are different: FSC-certified wood, bamboo, or PVC with recycled fabric or satin. Your artwork printed edge to edge, not a stock template with your name added. Pantone Coated color matching. A digital mockup you approve before anything prints. And they arrive finished, not flat in a box for you to assemble.
Think Per Guest, Not Per Fan
You're already spending real money per head, catering, florals, rentals, the bar. Against that, the fan is one of the smallest lines on the sheet, and it's the only one that goes home with people.
It also does more than one job: the favor, the program or escort card printed right on the panel, the photo prop that ends up in guests' cameras all night, and the fix for a warm ballroom or an outdoor ceremony in full sun.
Priced against a paper fan, ours costs more. Priced against the three line items it replaces, it's the cheapest thing you'll buy.
Volume pricing applies. Per-fan cost drops meaningfully as quantity rises. A 300-fan order is priced very differently from 30.
Sizes, Materials, Artwork
Small — 9" closed, 16.5" open. Place settings, bridal parties, gifting, everyday carry. FSC-certified wood with 75% recycled cotton/poly blend.
Large — 13" closed, 24.5" open. Dance floors, stage moments, high-visibility branding. Bamboo with satin, or PVC with holographic finish.
Pai Pai fans available as an alternative format.
Add-ons. Wrist strap hooks, velvet or satin pouches, painted ribs.
Pricing & Minimum Order
Minimum order: 30 fans per design.
Your quote depends on fan size, material, quantity, and add-ons like wrist strap hooks, velvet or satin pouches, and painted ribs. Volume pricing applies — per-fan cost drops as quantity increases.
Wood Color? You Pick.
Most of our fans come in natural wood tones, but we can customize the ribs in black, pink, red, white — or practically any color to match your aesthetic. Want black bamboo? Hot pink ribs on a natural fan? Let's make it happen.
We print in CMYK with Pantone Coated color matching. If you have a Pantone code, send us the Pantone C reference. Working from a different color system? We'll match as closely as possible, though exact reproduction can't be guaranteed.
Got a Design? Let's Make It Pop
Send your artwork as vector (AI, EPS, or PDF) for the sharpest print — or a high-resolution PNG or JPEG at 300 dpi. Not a designer? No problem, we'll help with layout and formatting to ensure your fan looks 🔥 when it's flapping.
When to Order
The clock starts at artwork approval, not your first email. Work backward from your date:
Late October — approve artwork by Mid-September
Thanksgiving week — approve artwork by Mid-October
December holiday party — approve artwork by Early November
New Year's Eve — approve artwork by Mid-November
Spring 2027 wedding — six weeks out, minimum
Tight timeline? Ask about rush production. We'll tell you honestly whether we can make your date rather than take the order and hope.
Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can I choose for my custom fans?
Small fans: FSC-certified wood with a 75% recycled cotton/poly blend. Large fans: bamboo with satin, or PVC with a holographic finish. Ribs can be painted to almost any color.
Why are yours more expensive than the fans I found online?
Because they're a different object. The inexpensive ones are printed paper on plastic or thin wood ribs, usually a stock design with your name added, and they frequently ship unassembled. Ours are FSC-certified wood, bamboo, or PVC with fabric or satin, printed with your artwork edge to edge, Pantone matched, and finished before they ship. If your priority is the lowest possible unit cost, we're honestly not the right fit — and we'd rather tell you now.
What's the minimum order?
30 fans per design. Two designs means 30 of each.
Do I have to be a professional planner to order?
Not at all. Plenty of our custom orders come from people planning their own wedding, quinceañera, or milestone party. Same process, same standard.
How long does production take?
Production takes 2–3 weeks, plus shipping. Plan on 3–6 weeks total from artwork approval to delivery, depending on order size, design complexity, and destination. Rush options may be available — ask when you request your quote.
Can I get a sample or proof before ordering?
Absolutely! We provide digital mockups so you can see your design on the fan before we print. For physical samples, we can arrange that too — just ask.
Do you offer bulk discounts?
Yes! Larger orders qualify for volume pricing. The more you order, the better the price per fan. Contact us to discuss your bulk needs.
I'm not a designer — can you help with my design?
Of course! We can help with layout, sizing, and formatting. Send us your ideas, photos, or brand assets, and we'll work with you to create something amazing.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes! We ship worldwide. Shipping costs and timelines vary by location. Contact us for a quote on your specific order.
What if there's a defect in my order?
We stand behind our work. If something isn't right with your order, contact us with photos and we'll make it right.
