Solid Color Party Supplies - Vibgyor for Your Guests

If you are throwing a party in near future, make sure to include solid color party supplies and confetti. Solid colors are for all the livelihood in the party and confetti is for the joy and celebration of togetherness.
‘Only utilize solid color party supplies for my next get-together.’ Mrs. Ryan instructed. My assistant – who is a newbie in the field, got confused. Hence, it is for her information and for the information of others -

The color which exists as itself and not in combination with any other hue is called a solid color. The color is the plain all over the product and is not elaborated with stripes or dots.

The veteran hosts swear by solid color party supplies. Solid colors look whole and one and bring out the color theme of parties very well. When arranged alongside a few printed accessories, solid color party supplies look very refreshing.

Solid color party supplies come in all the colors of the VIBGYOR, may be deeply tinted or appear in delicate pastel shades. All possible party supplies are prepared in color-coordinated packages of suitable solid colors:

-plates
-napkins
-balloons
-cups
-cutlery
-curling ribbons
-table covers
-confetti
-crepe streamers

You can easily visualize a red and white colored Christmas party with red balloons, red crepe streamers, white cups, white napkins and white and red confetti!

Confetti has a profound relation with celebration - it is found everywhere! People have designed celebrations around confetti - ticker tape parade is an example.

The word Confetti actually means ‘uncountable.’ Though there is an Italian sweet by the same name - the two are different entities! Loads of pieces of paper or metal particles or flower petals thrown at during celebrations are confetti. They can be made simply by shredding paper with paper shredder or scissors, or paper chads can be made by punching holes in waste paper using hole punch or ticket punch.

Confetti has been thrown at during wedding ceremonies since old times and in several parts of the world. Throwing of rice and flower petals at the newlyweds was supposed to signify fertility and luck in married life.

No wonder then that baby shower confetti is so hugely popular today.

Motherhood and arrival of a new baby are celebrated the American way in the baby shower parties. It is actually quite a useful get-together as the guests bring gifts that shall be required by the future mom and her baby. Some of these gifts include diapers, cribs, baby clothes, feeding bottles and pacifiers.

Traditionally, the arrival of the first child of a couple was marked by organizing a baby shower party - this tradition has undergone an evolution such that later children as well as adopted babies are also given baby shower parties.

Usually, only women used to attend baby showers; now, though, men are also invited and stag baby showers are also organized.

The baby shower is an event that is present in several cultures of the world in different forms. For example, Indian women celebrate the rite of ‘Godh Bharai’ in typically all-woman gatherings in the seventh month of pregnancy of the lady.

Today, party planners are trying to outdo each other in thinking up newer and newer themes around which baby showers can be planned and one of the most important accessory they experiment with is the baby shower confetti.

Available in the markets today are:

-Mod mom confetti
-It’s a boy
-It’s a girl
-Baby confetti
-Little angel confetti
-Sweet prince confetti

These are fashioned out of brightly colored paper, tiny bits of metal or light plastic sheets. They generally come with an ejection vehicle, often called a ‘cannon’, which sends out confetti under pressure so that it disseminates with a greater visual effect.

However, baby shower confetti does come with an inherent trouble – cleaning up! Of course, if the venue of the baby shower party is somewhere indoors, there is no option but to take and mop and a broom and get on with it. However, in outdoor baby shower events, there is an option to use biodegradable or organic baby shower confetti. Biodegradable confetti includes rice, flower petals and leaves.
