Gift bags stamped with Asian symbols - A special treat for your guests is a bath and body product bar. Favors are a great way for your guests to enjoy fun after the party has ended. Instead of the traditional gift bag, you can assemble several different bath and body products and let the guests choose a few products for their own favor bag.
- Chris Champagne, Visual Stylist says to give your table more presence, you can lift items up off the table. This can be achieved by using, boxes, cake platters or risers etc.
- To give your tablecloth a cloud effect, place the tablecloth on the table as normal and then tuck the ends underneath (figure A).
- For the centerpiece we used a pillar candle and a plant. Tuck fresh moss all around to enhance the centerpiece (figure B) -- you can even add some fresh mums into the moss for an additional accent.
- You can use bear grass all around the edges of the tablecloth for even more dimension (figure C).
- You can use pieces of slate to create flat surfaces on top of the tablecloth. Wooden bowls and sushi trays hold some of the travel size products, loofahs and pumice stones guests can take home with them.
- For the make your bath salt station, you can arrange carrier oils and concentrated oils together. The bath salts use lavender, eucalyptus and chamomile and we arranged them in bowls with a scoop (figure D) and placed them on a sushi tray. Some good carrier oils include mineral oil, grape seed, canola, safflower, sunflower, sesame, wheat germ, olive and peanut oil.
