Tiny carpets are also available in the market. Decorate these carpets with tassels on both ends, stick your invitation on it, and then roll it up.

For decorations, have fake treasure trunks placed all over the party hall. Keep some treasure trunks open, overflowing with trinkets also have one or two trunks hidden.

You can have fake genie lamps placed all over the party hall. Spread Persian rugs on the tables for achieving the perfect Arabian look.

Food also needs to be in accordance with the theme. You can have fresh seasonal fruits (especially grapes) served throughout the party. Have meat platters, Turkish bread, different types of dips, nuts, fig cookies, humus, etc. Entertainment has to include belly dancing! So make sure you have the right music for belly dancing.

Anything But Clothes: As the name suggests, the guests are expected to dress up in anything except clothes. Do mention that guests have to be dressed sufficiently! The stress of this party is on clothing, so you do not need to pay much attention to the other factors, viz. invitations, decorations and food. You can send small dolls dressed in grass or paper, and stick your invitation on the doll's hand. If you wish to keep your dress unique, mention what you will be wearing so that the guests do not wear the same thing.
