Running a hat bar for a squad of 20 or more.
Big bachelorette parties are our favorite job — here's how we keep a large group moving without turning the bar into a line.
Can you handle 20 or 30 guests?
Absolutely. For squads of 20 or more we bring a second heat press and, if needed, a second operator, so two guests are being pressed at once. That roughly doubles throughput and keeps the whole group finished inside the party window.
How long should we budget for a large group?
For 20 to 30 guests, budget about 90 minutes to two hours from setup to the last finished hat. Because guests spend most of that time choosing patches rather than waiting, it feels like a running activity, not a queue.
Do we need more space for a big hat bar?
A little. Two stations want two tables and a bit of room for guests to gather at the patch board. A large rental home, a suite living area, or an event space all work fine. We confirm the footprint when we see your headcount.
Large squads also make the group photo hit hardest — 25 matching caps with the bride's standout hat in the center is the shot that ends up all over everyone's feed. If your weekend is on the bigger side, mention the count when you reach out so we plan two presses from the start. See how pricing scales with group size.
