The Decorations
Greet guests with buckets of flowers on the front porch or in the foyer. Play up the rainy-day theme by adding bright umbrellas and rubber boots, if you or your kids have them. In the party room, string paper parasols ($6 to $24, lunabazaar.com) from the ceiling with adhesive hooks. And be sure to dress up tabletops with fresh blossoms, in vases that range from small to large.

The Favors
Nope, no Doppler radar here: These outlooks are strictly astrological. Buy blank cards and customize them with guests' astrological forecasts. Find each guest’s horoscope for the month from a website such as astrostyle.com (ask for everyone’s zodiac sign beforehand). Cut and paste the horoscopes, then glue each inside a blank card and present to the partygoers.
