Key chains make fun gift tags. And colorful rubber bands are used in lieu of ribbons.

- A small box of crayons in the middle of each guest's plate and a roll of brown postal or white craft paper can turn an ordinary dinner party into a playful one!
- Better than a guest book! Pick up a plain inexpensive white ceramic platter/bowl/charger and give each guest a Sharpie.
- Gift cards. With thanks to the internet letter these days our mailboxes are filled with catalogs, useless fliers and bills. Why not pick out a greeting card for each of your guest and use the envelope as their place setting.
