The perfect party theme for those who prefer no theme but love sparkle and glitz.

Celebration
Although we feature this theme in pink, don’t feel constrained to stick with pink as your primary color. All bright colors work well with this theme. It can also be quite handsome by using deep blues, greens, browns, and black.

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.
…
Sparkly Yet 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.
Stars and Diamonds in Blue Stamps
(email Robbin to see if this stamp can be created in your color scheme)
…
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 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.

Sparkling Nights Table Linens
Generally, Party Idea Pros offer many options to create a theme, however Sparkling Nights is a very specific and unique look which precludes choices, except for color options. Although the photo highlights pinks, if you prefer to create the same look in greens or blues or even purples or coppers, there are many metallic shag table squares available. Search BBJ for “metallic shag”. However, to create the look in the top of page photo select Cerise or Black Metallic Shag Table Squares over Cerise Lamour cloths. Use Cerise lamour napkins and cerise lamour sham chair pad covers or cerise lamour elastic chair pad covers on black Chivari chairs. Additionally, we used White Shimmer Sheer over Turquoise Lamour (any lamour color would be just as nice, so just choose your favorite) on the smaller more intimate tables raised up on a platform in the back of the room. Use the coordinating chair cover but stick with the Cerise lamour napkins
…
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.

Sparkly Yet Elegant Centerpieces
Take a breath and then just go for it — yes, this theme is expensive, but just look at it! Below are all the supplies you need to create a look similar to the photo on top of this page. We have to apologize for the photo quality but we promise, it truly is a magnificent look!
…
You will need 5 cylinder vases of different heights for each table. I recommend Modern Vase and Gift as an excellent source to buy all your vases at one place. They have a great selection of all the sizes you will need. Unfortunately, I cannot link directly to the suggested products so you will need to use the right sidebar to negotiate to the correct size vase.
…
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.

Additionally, if you choose to use a smattering of smaller more intimate tables that can even be raised up on a platform in the back of the room, use just one wide cylinder on each table
…
…
Wide Cylinder H-5.5″ Open D-12″, Clear
Fill the wide cylinder with any color diamond drops — Party Idea Pros favorite colors include orange, plum, and pink.
Diamond Drops (Sorry, I cant link directly to this product. Simply search “diamond drops” and the available color options will display. Limited quantities available)
…
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. Just match your Diamond Drops to the Daisies.
…
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.

Sparkling Nights Cocktail Napkins
No matter how formal or casual your party, fun beverage napkins will get your celebration off to a festive start. Choose one style or mix and match all styles to add a bit of punch to your cocktail hour. Order 5-6 napkins per guest figuring everyone has 1-2 drinks, and 3-4 appetizers each.

You may want to consider providing transportation for your out of town guests, especially if they are older and uncomfortable driving in a unfamiliar city. For our first big bash, we provided transportation to and from all events for the out of towners. Admittedly, thereafter we were much less generous . If interested in exploring this option, Limopros will provide free, no obligation quotes by vendors in many areas throughout the country.

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
Canvas print (20×30) Sign in Board
Use a digital picture … be sure to chose a large white border. Hot glue this Pink Feather Boa around the canvas swagging it as you go. You might also add a few jewels if the board still need more oomph.
…
Sign in Books
This personalized name keepsake book is beautiful and a less expensive alternative to a sign in board. Choose your color and follow the instructions. You might also want to customize your book with the guest of honor’s photo.

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.
…
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!
