Chic Orange (or any color) Theme Party Invitations
A chic orange (or any color) event calls for a very special invitation. Party Idea Pros suggests looking at Majestic Invites. Click on the invitation picture to bring you to specific pages. Again, don’t feel constrained to stick with orange -- any bright colored will work.

Elegant Return Address
The custom embosser is all about sophistication. Now you can easily add some elegance to everyday stationery or as an elegant alternative to having your return addresses printed on your party invitation envelopes. They also make wonderful gifts. You will be surprised at how often you use your new embosser.
Chic Orange (or any color) Theme Party Stamps
Personalize your stamps or use one of the great zazzle stamps. You might even ask Majestic Invites if it is possible to use one of their coordinating patterns to create your own stamp. Please be sure to bring a complete invitation, including all inserts, to a local post office to determine exactly how much postage is required.
If you decide not to customize, please do not mix stamps. It is better to add too much postage than a hodgepodge of mismatched stamps. You have spent so much time and money on every other detail, the difference in price is not worth giving a sloppy first impression.
Chic Orange (or any color) Theme Party Table Linens
NEW!
Other really amazing options Party Idea Pros loves are all the looks created in these BBJ Linen photos. Each one was better than the next, so we are going to let you choose your favorite. We have changed the primary color to orange to work with theme. (Due to copyright issues, we cannot reproduce the photos here.)
If you are having a fairly large party, don’t forget to include your place card table, your gift table, buffet tables, and any ceremonial tables when determining your linen count. Also, if you chose to use more ornate linens, do not use them for the cocktail hour; they will have a greater impact as your guests enter the dining room.
Chic Orange (or any color) Theme Party Centerpieces
Take a breath and then just go for it -- yes, this theme is expensive, but just look at it and envision it all in ORANGE!
Wrap two boas of your choice around the top of the vase. We used the hot pink color. One boa will be sufficient for two cylinders. Be sure to glue the ends together. Fill the vase with water colored with a few drops of purple food color.
or simply fill with Oranges (fruit)
Fill vase with water and add Bear Grass
Fill vase with water and add a giant orange carnation created by combining 4-5 carnations. Simply wrap stems together with florist tape.
Fill the vase with water colored with a few drops of blue food color. Add a simple floating candle.

or
Additionally, if you choose to use a smattering of smaller more intimate tables which can even be raised up on a platform in the back of the room, use just one wide cylinder on each table
Fill the wide cylinder with any color diamond drops -- Party Idea Pros favorite colors include orange, plum, and pink.
Wrap a boa of your choice around the bottom of the wide cylinder. We used the marigold color. One boa will be sufficient for two cylinders. Be sure to glue the ends together.
Finally, add 4-5 Gerber Daisies. Party Idea Pros chose pink but mixing and matching colors may work even better..
For cocktail tables simply use a small cube vase, color the water, and add a Gerber Daisy or a simple floating candle. If you want to jazz it up wrap a boa around the base.

Hotels & Transportation

Sign in Boards & Books
Sign in boards and books have become a staple at many celebrations. If you wish to allow your guests to leave a special keepsake message consider creating a board for your party entrance or simply provide a beautiful book to commemorate the occasion. We here at Party Idea Pros prefer sign in books. They are easier to store and less likely to collect dust in the basement or garage.
Sign In Boards

Use a digital picture ... be sure to chose a large white border. Decorate with:
Sign in Books

Jewelry
Party Idea Pros generally does not highlight jewelry but we recently came across a chic new designer who whose unique gemstone collection is a perfect way to memorialize this special day or for that matter, any day:
“Gemstones are the spirit of the earth frozen in time. For thousands of years, gemstones have been treasured for their power to heal, energize and inspire. The design, stones and metal all empower you. The artful combination of these elements reflects your spirit and is yours forever.” Tamara Alter
Our favorite collection of Tamara’s is her Healing Hearts collection, created in honor of Tamara’s dear sister Stefanie who passed away at the young age of 43, after a brave and courageous fight against Ovarian Cancer. All profits from the Healing Hearts collection goes to The High Heals Foundation whose mission is to raise funds to develop methods for early diagnosis of Ovarian Cancer and aid in the discovery of a cure through research, advocacy and education.
Credit Cards
I have family members and friends who are very uncomfortable ordering on the internet because of worries about personal exposure. Before Party Idea Pros lists any product or suggests any vendor, we attempt to verify that the vendor's site uses a secure server and generally place an anonymous credit card order. Unfortunately, other than using industry recommended safeguards, Party Idea Pros cannot guarantee the reliability of the suggested sites. To help limit your exposure, consider reserving a separate credit card to use just for online transactions. Make sure the credit card also offers some form of buyer's protection
Personal Party and Event Websites
Have you always wanted a friends and family web page? Set-up an event web site to improve communication, and keep your guests. informed This is a fun extra. If you are on a tight budget and have computer savvy friends and family, you might even want to save money by foregoing invitations and instead send invites via your website.
