Give guests a few elephant hats and decorate with baby elephant standees, safari decorations, and other mascot costumes to get in the spirit of Coldplay’s Paradise video. Paul McCartney will be honored at this year’s Grammys. Celebrate the successes of yesterday, while your company presses ahead into 2012.

Dazzle Guests with Star Invitations

A star theme party can either be an elegant affair or a low-key get-together and works well for any season, so you can customize your star party pretty much anyway you want.

The first step for hosting your star theme party is setting a budget and a guest list. Be sure to send out your invitations at least four weeks before the party and count on around a quarter coming back regrets. Plan for a few more guests than you’re expecting because people could change their minds or bring unexpected friends.

We have tons of personalized invitations custom printed with your party details. You won’t have to spend all that time filling out each invitation by hand. Personalized star invitations feature several vibrant options to fit your event, whether you choose a formal affair or a causal party.

Create Intergalactic Glamour with Star Decorations

You have plenty of space for creativity when you decorate for a star themed party. You can create a stellar look in tons of different ways using different materials to suit the mood and scale of your event. Here are some of our favorite star decorating ideas. Let us know what you come up with!

Outdoor Decorations

Create a starry walk to the door with star luminaries. Place some sand in the bottom to weigh them down and add a tea light candle. They’ll create a soft glow leading your guests into the party. Line your sidewalk, driveway, or other path with luminaries. They also work well on tables.

Greet guests with a personalized star banner. Each banner is printed on heavy-duty, weather-resistant vinyl, so you can hang them indoor or out. Plus, you can have a star banner printed with your own custom wording announcing your event or welcoming guests.

A star balloon drop makes a great effect for a special occasion. At a selected moment, pull the spring and release hundreds of balloons out of the star-shaped net.

Table Decorations
