Roll out the red carpet
Get your guests in the mood to party as they enter your home with a red carpet aisle runner they can strut and pose on to feel like the star of the show. If you plan to set this up outdoors on your front yard or walkway, you can up the glamour ante by lining it with staked solar lights to add even more magic to the evening.
If you really want to go all out, order a customizable step-and-repeat that lets you get the perfect party backdrop so once guests reach the end of the carpet, you can snap a fancy picture of their party looks to create lasting memories of your special night. And don't forget the streamers and balloons for an even more festive mood!
