Front Hall

I skipped it when I discussed the other decorations, but there were a few items of note in the front hall. 
As I mentioned in this post, we had a guest book.  I think we missed a couple of people, but we have messages from most of our guests.  Naturally, we used a Seuss book for the guest book.

We also had some favors for the adults as well as goodie bags for the kids.We had a basket of red and blue fish soaps that I bought on Etsy.  The backs of the tags said, "Thanks for coming to my party."
The kids got goodie bags full of fun stuff.  I got the bags at Target in early August.  At the time they had a number of Seuss things in their dollar spot. I put name tags on the bags because I wasn't sure how a boy would feel if he was stuck with the last bag and it was a purple one.  There were 4 different designs available: Horton, Green Eggs and Ham, Cat in the Hat, and One Fish Two Fish.

Inside the bags were a number of items.  Also from Target are 2 pins, an eraser, and some silly bands.  (Yeah, I know Silly bands aren't so cool anymore, but I checked with one of the moms first and she thought they would still be appreciated.  Or she wanted to see them, at any rate.)  There also was a bookmark in each bag, which I picked up in Springfield when we went to the Seuss Sculpture Garden.  The activity books I created.  www.seussville.com has a TON of activity sheets that you can download- mazes, word searches, coloring pages, etc.  I printed off a bunch of them and bound them together.
The final item in the bags were these crayon rolls.  You can see it above when it's rolled up, and here it is unrolled.  I sewed them using a variety of different Seuss fabrics.
