Garden Party Stamps
Personalize your stamps by using one of the great zazzle garden stamps . 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.

Garden Party Table Linens
There are so many great options for a garden look just search BBJ Linen. Your choice will ultimately come down to a combination of what your room looks like and how daring you feel. My favorite combinations are listed below because they will compliment any of Party Idea Pros recommended party selections. You might choose to use a more decorative tablecloth and keep the accessories more simple or use a simpler cloth and create a personal style with all the “extras”
Persimmon Mini Check with Yellow or Persimmon Lamour Coordinating Linens and Napkins
Apple Green Mini Check or Cerise Mini Check with any BBJ Linen recommended combinations
Blue Check Chiffon (stick with the classic white coordinating linens)
White Bedford Lace for a classic elegant look
…
Orange Dot Sheer, Yellow Dot Sheer, Lime Dot Sheer, Neon Dot Pink

Garden Party – Apple Garden Toile
…
If you want to save some money, most venues will supply complimentary white or cream linens; both are great with this theme. Likewise, if you are hosting a garden party at your house just about any color linen you have will be fine. In fact, placemats also also work, and to tell you the truth, rather than spending lots of money on place mats, I often use individual sheets of scrap booking paper. Choose any solid colored paper or one of the following patterns: Lavender Butterflies, Flowers and Butterfly,
If you are feeling creative and have lots of time, you can even create a layout highlighting your guest of honor. Alternatively, use your place mats as place cards by creating a page for each of your guests. Laminate it and tie with personalized ribbon for a complete favor anyone can enjoy.

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.

Garden Party Favors
A garden party theme lends itself to so many options, Party Idea Pros could not choose just one best option, so here are a few choices we call the best of the best … One more thought — Although the recommended place cards and napkin ties also serve as party favors, if you want to lavish gifts on your guests or prefer to use a simpler place card, consider these fun party favor ideas. They will also add another dimension to your table setting. Order 1 party favor for each couple, 1 for each single. Use a liquid gold pen or colored Sharpie marker to write your the guest of honor’s name and the dat e of the party or attach a personalized favor tags or place card tag.

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.
Tamara Alter
…
If you really want to go way, way over the top consider renting real diamond jewelry. I am fascinated by this concept. Adorn Brides actually leases fine elegant genuine jewelry for special occasions for a fraction of the price it would cost to buy it. How much more sparkly and glamorous can you get than wearing tens of thousand of dollars worth of jewels!
