Renaissance Foil has an antiquing product that you can apply to many surfaces, creating aged-looking pails, bowls and candlesticks, which you can find at craft stores. Place squares of dusty blue, green, and red (the shades that are common in "country" decorating) fabric and permanent markers at each table for people to sign and make an "antique person" wishes quilt.
Big Parties Need Room
Make sure your friend chooses an inexpensive, yet accommodating, hall for the party. If her house isn't large enough, or if her friends/family do not own (or are willing to volunteer) a larger home to host the party, check out municipal or civic buildings such as fire houses, ambulance corps, Knights of Columbus, Rotary, Elks Club, UNICO, churches, libraries, rec centers, etc. These halls still present the least expensive option for hosting a large party in lieu of using someone's residence.
