Personalised party cups are reusable cups printed with a name, an age, a photo or a hen do slogan, made for birthdays, hen weekends and any celebration that deserves better than a flimsy disposable. They double as party favours because they are dishwasher safe, so guests take them home and use them again. The minimum order is 50 cups, prices start from £0.22 per cup at volume, and every cup is made in the UK.
Why reusable party cups beat disposables
A printed reusable cup lifts the whole table. It photographs well, it will not crack underfoot in a garden, and it turns into a keepsake rather than a bin bag full of single-use plastic at midnight. Because the design is bonded into the cup wall with in-mould printing, a name or photo survives the dishwasher and stays sharp long after the party. For most hosts that makes the cup the cheapest part of the celebration that people actually keep.
Popular occasions
- Milestone birthdays: an 18th, 30th, 40th or a big 50th, with the name and age printed large.
- Hen dos: matching cups for the group with a slogan, the bride's name and the date.
- Children's parties: shatterproof and safe, printed with a theme or the child's name.
- Anniversaries and garden parties: a tasteful design that suits an all-day BBQ or a summer gathering.
What to print on a party cup
Keep it bold and readable. A first name and an age, a hen party slogan, a hashtag, or a single photo work far better than a crowded layout. Full colour in-mould printing handles photos and gradients with no colour surcharge, while a single ink screen print keeps a simple name design keen on price. You can supply your own artwork using our templates, or send a rough brief and we will set it out for you.
Choosing a cup format
- Pint to brim: the all-rounder for lager, soft drinks and mixers.
- 16oz cocktail: a tall, slim serve for spirits and long drinks. See the 16oz cocktail cup.
- Wine cup: stemmed and shatterproof for prosecco and wine.
- Half pint: a sensible measure for paced afternoons and younger guests.
