The
Pink Flamingo Lounge Party Set The Scene for Your Party!
The key to pulling off a coordinated
event: Evoke your theme throughout the affair. Whether that
theme is as general as a season or a feeling, or as specific as
a special flower, it should be the subtle thread that ties
everything together. Your location, invitations, flowers, menu,
cake, and favors should all cleverly reflect one common concept.
Then, get as creative as you can!
Present each guest with a
silk
flower lei when they arrive.
Create a focal point in your room
by setting up
small cocktail size tables in your living room or on your patio.
Use
raffia
table skirting on your serving tables.
Decorate the lounge with
tropical decorations for a great look.
Our
5' Inflatable Palm Tree
trimmed with inflatable coconuts is
a great addition for your tropical decor.
Table
Decorations
At some point during the
planning stages of your event the subject of linens will
arise. When it does stop and think of all the possibilities
available to you before you go with standard issue white
polyester tablecloths. Remember the tops of the tables
provide you with a very large surface area and covering them
with a beautiful tablecloth is the easiest way to change the
feel of a room.. It is also the most cost effective way to
decorate. Ten tables covered with a theme or specialty linen
print for example will make a statement that no white
tablecloth can make.
Place drinks in
light up
Margarita or Martini Glasses.
Use for fruit cups, shrimp
cocktail or an ice cream sundae too.
Napkins
Use napkins to match your colors.
Bring color to the table via
cloth napkins. Give each person two napkins slipped into one
napkin ring. Use two different colors, two coordinating
patterns or one patterned and one solid-colored napkin. A
colorful setting can be achieved with little effort this
way.
Tie napkins with curling ribbon, gossamer steamers, or add
theme related items to serve as a napkin rings.
Beads, bracelets, necklaces, headbands, rings, ribbon, and
flowers, are all great items to use for napkin rings. Place
your napkin in the center of each plate at an angle. The
cutlery can also be added before the napkin is tied.
Unfold the napkins, pinch each
in the center of the napkin, and place the center point in
the bottom of each glass or cup. This adds a decorative
touch while the glass or cup is still empty.
The napkins can be laid out
on a serving table, or can be displayed at each place
setting. Place napkins in the center of each place setting
at an angle.
Carlson Craft
offers Personalized Napkins, in their
Wedding Accessories and
Party Accessories sections.
