• Place Cards:
Whether you are having a formal or informal event, place cards add an extra touch to your dining area. White or cream, as the main color works well in most cases. Then add a place card holder that compliments your theme.
• Plates:
A formal party would use china, glass or ceramic plates.
Paper
plates come in a variety of colors and designs. These are often used
for more casual parties. However, don't be afraid to use paper plates,
for semi-formal affairs. They keep your plans, and clean-up, simple and
stress-free.
• Glasses:
If
you are using real dishes at your party, use real glasses for a
coordinated look. You can mix and match for an eclectic look, or keep
them all the same.
Paper cups or plastic are fine for informal parties.
• Utensils:
Silverware
complements china, while plastic can be used with paper plates. Plastic
comes in many colors...so mix and match for a festive look. Remember
when using plastic to purchase an extra amount. Guests sometimes toss
plastic ware, and you don't want to run short.
*** Make sure you spell all guests names correctly.
