Waffle Party Host Resources

Are you planning on hosting a waffle party, or thinking about doing so? Congratulations!

This page includes a number of resources and tools, mostly free and some paid. Some are for hosting waffle parties in general, and some are specifically for vegan waffle parties.

Included are printable waffle party dish labels, educational literature on veganism, t-shirts, media and press release templates, logos, a potential event funding resource, and links to posts with additional waffle party ideas and tips.

Waffle Party Dish Labels

At any food party, dietary needs can be diverse. When it’s potluck style, trying to track down who made a specific topping or dish can be tricky.

These printable vegan waffle party dish labels include blanks for guest name, topping name, and common allergens. They will make things easier for you and your guests.

Educational Literature

If you’re throwing a vegan waffle party, you may wish to place out some educational literature for guests who choose to know more. Here are a few resources to get you started; we’ll likely be adding more in the future. More links are on the bottom half of the Veganism FAQs page.

Global Vegan Waffle Party T-Shirts

A few years back I created a t-shirt to wear at my parties and made it available through an online store. Note that I get a small percentage from each sale, which helps to keep this site running.

Media & Press Releases

This is information that you can use to promote your waffle party or event, as well as any specific causes or organizations that may be linked to your event.

The first item is a template where you can fill in info on your local event. It also describes the national event context. You can paste in the current year’s logo, also found on this page, if you wish.

Logos for Banners & Posters

If you’re creative, please have fun and design your own promotional materials. We welcome you to show them off on the Vegan Waffles Facebook page. We’ve posted a few samples, and you might even check out some of the designs at the Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale (another great event to participate in) for inspiration. But in case you’re limited on time, we’ve designed a few versions of logos for you. You’re welcome to incorporate any of them into your own designs.
