Bid day is an exciting time for sorority members, but preparing outfits and coordinating bid day events can be time consuming. As you begin to think about the upcoming recruiting season, it’s important to plan ahead for your custom bid day gear.
Whether you’re buying gear for a small event or a large group, here are three tips to keep in mind while shopping for your bid day gear.
1. Does your bid day have a theme?
Most bid day events have a theme. Whether it is a space theme, the wild west, or girls night in, it’s important to ensure that your apparel fits the theme. Once you have your theme, we recommend that you work with an experienced graphic designer to develop a custom design.
2. What trends do you want to incorporate into your look?
Several popular items, including the Clear Fanny/Hip Pack and Port Authority Bucket Hat, have certainly made a comeback. They’re functional for storing items and keeping the sun out of your face, but they are also extremely trendy and cute!
The bucket hats are available in a variety of colors and are easily customizable. The fanny pack has adjustable straps so you can wear it around your waist or over your shoulder. It can also hold up to five pounds of your bid day necessities.
The vintage, retro, and early ‘90s styles have also made a comeback. Choosing a custom, vintage design for your apparel is a great way to set your event apart from others. Many Greek bid day apparel ideas are overused. It’s time to switch it up!
3. How can you customize your items?
Customization is the key to creating a unique outfit for your bid day function. Whether it includes a cute T-shirt or tank top, or even a tote bag, matching your bid day party gear with your theme and organization is important. The Comfort Colors Adult Heavyweight Tank Top offers a fun and relaxed look compared to the typical T-shirt. It also is available in a variety of fun, trending colors.
