Custom Cups for Weddings and Private Events: What to Know
Custom cups for weddings and private events require a 250-unit minimum order and about 7 business days of standard production — plan artwork approval at least 3 weeks before the event date to avoid rush fees.
Minimum order applies even for one-off events
The standard 250-unit minimum applies to weddings and private events the same as any commercial order — screen setup costs are fixed regardless of the occasion. Most events order between 250 and 1,000 units depending on guest count and expected servings per guest.
Timing your order
Standard production takes about 7 business days after artwork approval. Because event dates are fixed and can't move, we recommend submitting final artwork at least 3 weeks before your event to leave a buffer for shipping and any last-minute proof revisions — or budget for rush production if your timeline is tighter.
Popular design choices for events
- Monograms or initials with the event date in a single elegant color
- Full-wrap floral or pattern designs in 2-3 colors for a premium look
- PET clear cups for cocktails where drink presentation matters
Material recommendation
PET clear cups are the most popular choice for weddings and upscale private events — the crystal-clear finish shows off colorful cocktails and mocktails, and photographs well for guest social media posts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I order fewer than 250 cups for a small wedding?
250 units is our minimum per design due to fixed setup costs. If your guest count is smaller, many couples order the 250 minimum and keep extras as keepsakes.
How far in advance should I order cups for my wedding?
We recommend submitting final artwork at least 3 weeks before your event date to comfortably cover standard 7-day production and shipping.
