Pokémon headbands
As your guests walk through the door, deck them out with one of these cute headbands. Ask guests to RSVP with their favourite character and then make a headband for each guest before the party. Or have them get crafty during the party.
Make sure you stock up on plain black headbands in bulk. We found a pack of 30 under $15.
