Smiley Face Party Stamps
Personalize your stamps by using zazzle custom postage. There are so many great happy face images we just chose a few samples to display so scroll through all the images to chose your personal favorite. Before purchasing any postage, 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.

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.

…
Smiley Face Party Table Linens
Be Happy! With this theme your options are limitless. Your final decision should be based on two factors: the physical characteristics of the event room and your daughter’s personal style.
If you are hosting a simple and low key luncheon you might consider yellow and white check linens. Even simpler? Stick to yellow or black cloths with yellow check napkins. If you want to add some punch with lots of color, consider Warhol Roses as your primary linen, yellow lamour as your coordinating linen and chair covers, and then accent with black chair ties. Be sure to also check out the Black & White Pucci Linen. Again, use yellow lamour as your coordinating linen.
Black and White Pucci Linen (substitute yellow for the pink accents)
Warhol Roses Table Linen (accent with yellow lamour)
…
Place Mats
If you want to save some money, use a classic solid linen or most venues will supply complimentary white or cream linens. Either will work since they provide a neutral palette that will compliment any surf decor. Likewise, if you are hosting a surfing theme party at home, any linen color will work. Just plan your table decor around your linen options. Place mats can also work, and to tell you the truth, individual sheets of scrap booking paper work great and are adorable. If you are feeling creative and have lots of time, you can even create a layout highlighting your guest of honor. Another option is to use your place mats as place cards by creating a page for each of your guests. Laminate the page and tie with personalized ribbon for a complete favor anyone can enjoy….

Chair Covers
Just a note on chair covers: chair covers may not be necessary if the chairs supplied are fairly neutral and in ok condition. In fact, I tend to not use chair covers at any of my personal parties. Having said that, if your budget permits, the overall look of certain rooms is enhanced if chair pads are used. Choose one of your accent colors.
Or even better, place a smiley face t-shirt over each chair with the design facing outward. Pair with a yellow and white checked tablecloth for a great, happy look.
The t-shirts can double as room decor and party favors. There is a huge selection of shirts at Zazzle and CafePress.com:
…
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.

Sign in boards and books have become a staple at many celebrations.
