Music Theme Party Stamps

Personalize your stamps by using one of the great zazzle sports 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.

Music Theme Party Table Linens

You have many options to create a fun look. Your choice will ultimately come down to a combination of what your room looks like and how daring you feel.

Party Idea Pros first choice is to create a light playful look similar to those in the photos below. They all work great with the Arte Felguerez sculptures — just the right combination of classy and fun. Rent white or black folding chairs and coordinate with the the recommended linens, napkins, and chair ties:

Black & White Stripe Table Linen

St. Augustine Stripes

Black Orleans (Reversed)

Black and White Pucci Overlay

…

Concerto

Cool Jazz

Jazzy Notes

…

For a safer look, create a black tie look by using black lamour or black classic linens with either black, white, or even a burgandy or ruby napkins. This option will make the color in your Arte Felguerez sculptures pop.

Music Birthday Party.

…

If you want to save some money, most venues will supply complimentary white or cream linens; stick with white unless you prefer a more vintage look. Likewise, if you are hosting a melodies of life party at your house just about any color linen you have will be fine, in fact, place mats will also work great, and to tell you the truth, individual sheets of scrap booking paper work great and are adorable. Choose any solid colored paper or any of the patterns pictured below. 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.

 

12 x 12 Paper – Golden Music

12×12 Doublesided Paper – Sound of Music

12 x 12 Patterned Paper – Red Love Song

…

Music Placemats

…

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.

…

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.

Music Theme Party Centerpieces

These unique Arte Felgurez musician sculptures will make your event stand out. The artist captures just about every musical genre imaginable in bright, vibrant colors. Have fun choosing a different sculpture for every table. After your party, either present family members and special friends with figures they will relate to or donate them to charitable organizations for their silent fundraisers. Be sure to let the guest of honor choose his/her favorite to keep for the memory.

If you want a centerpiece that will not be surpassed, and If you are willing to go way over the top, place your sculpture in the center of each of the wanderful centerpieces or even a standard flower centerpiece.

Music Theme 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.

If you really want to go way, way over the top consider renting real diamond jewelry. I am fascinated by this concept.
