The Best Yellow Plates & Party Supplies

Parties with your friends and family are a great way to mark momentous occasions. Whether it’s birthdays or anniversaries, graduations or engagement parties, celebrations are a memorable way to enjoy time with your loved ones. While food and music are integral parts of any event, another important aspect is the décor. From balloon to streamers to signs, décor encompasses pretty much anything visual at the event. This also includes plates, napkins and other items that are required at the table.

For many people, party décor starts with a color theme. This can sometimes include three or four colors that work well together. For the plates, napkins, cups and cutlery, some may choose to get them in all of the different colors of their décor theme or they may choose one color to highlight. Yellow is a great party color because it is cheerful, bright and eye-catching. Not only that, it works for any kind of celebration, from a two-year-old’s birthday party to a retirement party to a wedding shower.

When beginning your party planning, it’s best to start by making a list of things you need. Essential party supplies include tablecloths, napkins, meal plates, dessert plates, cups, forks, knives, spoons and more. Figure out how many guests are attending and be sure to get extras of several items. For example, people may have multiple types of drinks and may need more than just one cup each. Similarly, they may need a fork for dinner as well as one for dessert.

• There are many different shades of yellow, so ensure your yellow plates and party supplies match well with your décor. For example, if you’re having a baby shower with pastel colored décor, a bright yellow may not work as well as a pale yellow. Similarly, for a bee-themed birthday, you will want to have bright yellow party supplies instead of pastel yellow ones.
• Consider whether you want to mix up colors within the party supplies, such as having yellow plates and white napkins or yellow cups and black plates. White a monochrome theme looks great, sometimes adding pops of different colors can also create an eye-catching look.
• Square plates vs. round plates – which one is better? When it comes to party plates, you have two main options. You tend to get more surface area on square plates while round plates have a more traditional look. Consider what kind of lines you have in your other décor items. For example, are there clean, straight lines in the banners and streamers, or do you have more curly lines in the ribbons and balloons? This may help you determine whether you should go with square plates or round plates.
• If you have extra party supplies leftover when the night is done, be sure to save them for another day. Sometimes, bringing out party plates and napkins for a regular Tuesday night dinner can make the day seem more special, especially for little ones. Plus, if you’re having a very casual get together with loved ones, they won’t mind you using your leftover party supplies to make their meal more enjoyable.
