Decorations to print, from door sign to menu card

Print place cards with your guests' names, eight per sheet, then fold and set them out. Add a menu card listing your courses, bottle labels with the name and age, cupcake toppers and bunting that spells out a birthday greeting and the guest of honour's name. The welcome sign on the door tells guests they've found the right place, and twelve photo booth signs make sure the party pictures are worth keeping.

Rather not gather everything separately? A party kit includes an invitation, place cards, bunting, a certificate, a quiz and photo booth props, tailored to an 18th, 30th, 40th, 50th, 60th, 70th or 80th. Children's parties have their own kit, plus a countdown poster, a door hanger and colouring placemats that keep little guests busy until the cake arrives. For big family gatherings, the Simple or Elegant designs usually look best.
