Elegant 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.

Elegant Table Linens

You have many options to create an elegant look. Your choice will ultimately come down to a combination of what your room looks like and how daring you feel. Party Idea Pros suggests scrolling through the BBJ Linen event photos to choose a look that you find particularly attractive and then order the appropriate linens

Looking to save a few pennies? Most venues will supply complimentary white or cream linens; both are simple and elegant. Likewise, if you are hosting an elegant party at your house just about any neutral color linen you have will be fine.

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.

Elegant Napkin Rings
