Adding a personalized touch to Joan's 70th Birthday

January 7, 2026

Behind Your Design was honored to collaborate with Gerych’s Flowers & Events on a stunning 70th birthday celebration that blended elevated design with deeply personal touches. Hosted at the chic and modern MAD NICE, this event was a beautiful example of how the right details can transform a milestone birthday into an unforgettable experience.


This celebration came together thanks to an incredible group of collaborators:


The Power of Personalized Details

Behind Your Design created several custom pieces for the event, each designed to feel intentional, meaningful, and seamlessly integrated into the overall aesthetic. These details played a big role in making the celebration feel one-of-a-kind.

Welcome Sign

The custom welcome sign set the tone the moment guests arrived. Designed to reflect both the event style and the guest of honor, it created a warm first impression and instantly made the celebration feel personal and thoughtfully curated.

Olive Oil Labels

Custom olive oil labels turned a simple favor into a lasting keepsake. Personalizing these bottles added a meaningful touch that guests could take home and enjoy long after the party ended. It’s these thoughtful, usable details that help an event live on beyond the night itself.

Match Books

The personalized match books added a subtle but stylish layer of branding to the event. They tied into the overall design while offering guests a nostalgic, functional takeaway.
Small accessories like these often become cherished mementos, especially when they’re beautifully designed.

Napkins

Custom napkins are one of the most visible elements at any event. These added polish to the tablescape and reinforced the cohesive look of the celebration. When everyday items are personalized, they elevate the entire guest experience.

Hand Towels

The personalized hand towels brought an unexpected touch of luxury and attention to detail. Often overlooked, these elements show guests that every aspect of the event was considered, adding to the overall feeling of care and hospitality.

Why the details matter

Personalizing small details is what transforms a gathering into a meaningful celebration. These elements tell a story, honor the guest of honor, and create moments that guests remember and talk about long after the event. Thoughtful customization doesn’t just enhance the look of an event—it deepens the emotional connection and makes milestone moments feel truly special.



We loved collaborating with this talented team to help bring such a memorable celebration to life and are proud to have played a part in honoring 70 years with style, intention, and heart.

Some promotional products are practical. Some are useful. And some simply make the whole event more fun. Foldable cowboy hats fall into that last category. They bring instant energy to an event and create a shared moment people actually participate in. Whether you're hosting a company picnic, sponsoring a festival, organizing a golf outing, or planning a community celebration, foldable cowboy hats are an easy way to add personality and interaction right away. A Giveaway That Sets the Tone Foldable cowboy hats are lightweight, packable, and made for events where people are moving around and having fun. They fold into a compact pouch, making them easy to distribute and easy for guests to keep. Once opened, they pop right into shape and become part of the experience almost immediately. Perfect for Summer Events Foldable cowboy hats fit right in at: Company picnics County fairs Music festivals Rodeos Golf outings Customer appreciation events Campgrounds and outdoor recreation School events Community festivals Beach and lake events They are fun to wear, easy to carry, and naturally encourage participation and photos.

Back-to-school season is one of the busiest times of year for schools, community organizations, and family-focused businesses. Open houses, orientations, festivals, and school supply giveaways all provide opportunities to connect with local families. While everyone else is handing out another pencil or notebook, consider giving them something they'll actually enjoy using: a coloring book. Coloring books are interactive, memorable, and offer a fun way to keep your brand in front of families. Better yet, there are two ways to make them work for your organization. Branded vs. Custom Coloring Books Branded Coloring Books A branded coloring book starts with a professionally designed, ready-to-print book. Your logo, business name, and contact information are added to the cover, creating an affordable giveaway that's quick to produce and easy to distribute. Branded coloring books are a great fit for school open houses, community festivals, health fairs, pediatric and dental offices, libraries, parks and recreation departments, banks, credit unions, and other family-focused events. Custom Coloring Books A custom coloring book is created specifically for your organization. Instead of placing your logo on an existing design, every page features original artwork and content that reflects your business, mission, or message. You can include your mascot, products or services, local landmarks, educational topics, safety tips, puzzles, activities, or just-for-fun pages. Whether you're introducing students to a new school, teaching healthy habits, celebrating your community, or explaining what your business does, a custom coloring book tells your story in a creative and engaging way. Give Families Something They'll Remember Back-to-school season is the perfect time to think beyond the standard promotional products. Whether you're looking for a branded coloring book featuring your logo or a completely custom coloring book with original illustrations and content, Behind Your Design can help you create something families will be excited to take home. Sometimes the best promotional products aren't the ones everyone expects. They're the ones everyone remembers.

When Superior Lawn & Landscape completed its new facility, they wanted an event that felt as professional and polished as the company they’ve built. Behind Your Design partnered with their team to bring that vision to life, creating an experience where every detail reinforced their brand. From the moment guests arrived, the Superior Lawn & Landscape brand was present. We managed signage, catering, beverages, entertainment, photography, and overall layout, along with rental coordination to create a cohesive, functional space. We also created branded giveaways and promotional items, including aluminum cups, koozies, journals, chapstick, bug spray, sunglasses, and lots more. Door prizes and a raffle featuring company merchandise added excitement and gave guests keepsakes from the day. The biggest visual impact came from something simple: the custom Hawaiian shirts. Seeing the team and staff in coordinated branded apparel instantly created unity. It transformed individuals into one team with one identity and reinforced the company’s personality in a way traditional marketing materials can’t. That’s the power of branded apparel.

Some projects are about creating great branding. Others are about helping bring a piece of community history back to life. This spring, Behind Your Design had the privilege of supporting the return of the Flint Soap Box Derby to Cronin Derby Downs, the original home of the Flint Soap Box Derby, where racing first began in 1969. On May 30, 2026, the newly restored track welcomed racers, families, volunteers, sponsors, and supporters back to the hill for the inaugural race at its historic location. It was a day filled with excitement, nostalgia, and community pride, but the impact of the Soap Box Derby extends far beyond a single race day.
