Frequently Asked Questions
Everything Kansas City couples, parents, and event planners ask before booking the Vend Vault.
What types of items are in the vending machine?
The machine can be stocked with a curated mix of custom premium vinyl stickers and temporary tattoos. All items can be customized to match your event. If you have your own designs already made, we can use those as well.
How do guests use the vending machine?
It is super simple. Guests walk up, drop a quarter in, pull the lever, and collect a favor. Quarters are placed in a bowl nearby. Everything is included in your rental, no extra setup required.
Where are you located, and how far can you travel?
We are based in Overland Park and serve the entire Kansas City metro. Standard delivery covers a 50-mile radius from Kansas City, which includes Leawood, Lenexa, Olathe, Shawnee, Lee’s Summit, Independence, Liberty, and surrounding suburbs at no travel charge. Further distances may require an additional fee. Reach out for travel options.
Can I customize what is inside for my wedding or event?
Yes. We offer full customization. You can choose colors, designs, themes, and add names, wedding dates, brand logos, or personalized artwork to your stickers and temporary tattoos. We send proofs for approval before printing.
How many favors are included?
The machine can be stocked to match your guest count. Bronze includes 40, Gold includes 120, and Diamond includes 200 favors (50 per slot). Our machine has 4 columns and the ability to hold over 400 stickers if you need extras.
How far in advance should I book?
We highly encourage reaching out a few months prior to guarantee your date is available. Our team needs at least 4 to 6 weeks lead time for design customization and production. If your event is sooner, reach out anyway and we will do our best to accommodate.
Is event staff included to monitor the machine?
The machine is designed to be self-serve and easy for guests to use, so no staff is required. If you would like a friendly attendant on-site to assist guests and monitor the machine, we offer that option for an additional fee. Just let us know when booking.
How much does the rental cost?
Three packages: Bronze ($200, 2 hours, 40 stickers), Gold ($400, 3 hours, 120 stickers), and Diamond ($600, 5 hours, 200 stickers). Extra time is $50 per hour on any package. Travel within 50 miles of Kansas City is included.
What is the difference between Bronze, Gold, and Diamond?
Mostly time and quantity. Bronze is right for showers and small parties (40 stickers, 2 hours). Gold is the most common wedding pick (120 stickers, 3 hours). Diamond is for larger weddings, full receptions, and corporate activations (200 stickers, 5 hours, plus extra design slots). All packages include the same custom design coordination, setup, and delivery within 50 miles of KC.
Do you offer temporary tattoos as well as stickers?
Yes. Any package can be split between custom stickers and custom temporary tattoos. Temporary tattoos have been a sleeper hit at weddings and bachelorettes. Learn more about temporary tattoos.
Are the temporary tattoos safe?
Yes. We use FDA-compliant transfer paper and cosmetic-grade inks. Safe for adults and children. They go on with water and come off in a few days with baby oil or a hot shower.
Can the machine be used for a corporate event or brand activation?
Absolutely. We do trade shows, conferences, employee appreciation days, holiday parties, and brand activations across the Kansas City metro. Logo customization is included; up to four custom designs rotate across the four columns of the machine. See corporate event details.
Do you require a deposit?
Yes, a deposit holds your date and starts the design process. We will explain payment specifics in your booking confirmation.
Can the machine be used outdoors?
Yes, with covered protection from rain and direct sun. We will discuss the setup with you ahead of time so the machine stays dry and the stickers stay crisp. Backyard receptions and tented weddings have worked great.
How big is the machine and how much space does it need?
Roughly the footprint of a small refrigerator. Plan for about 3 feet by 3 feet of floor space, plus a few feet of clearance in front for the line of guests.
Do guests need to bring quarters?
No. We supply a bowl of quarters next to the machine. Guests grab one, slide it in, and pull the lever. The quarters are part of the experience and they go right back into the bowl after each pull.
What happens if my event is cancelled or postponed?
We work with you. Reach out as soon as possible and we will do our best to reschedule for a new date that works.
What if we run out of stickers during the event?
We size each package to your guest count, so this is rare. If you are worried, add the optional extra sticker count in 40-piece increments at booking. We typically pack a small reserve to top off mid-event if needed.
