Raise the bar
Create a stunning bar menu with vinyl, so that your guests know what drinks are available. Or label the bottles at the juice bar so that they look terrific and help your guests pick their favourite tipple too.
Glass markers
Add these cute glass markers to everyone’s glasses, so that there will be no confusion as to who’s cocktail is whose!
And if you don’t want a permanent addition to your glasses, or want to update them for your next party, choose window cling or removable vinyl for the decals.
Pick a theme
To create a truly memorable gathering, pick a theme and run it throughout your party.
Take this Mexican fiesta-inspired fare, which includes decals for the tableware, bright and colourful cutlery holders, cute cacti cupcake toppers, and even the clearing up is covered with this Taco Tea Towel!
