"We're talking about color and decor for your party. When I'm having a party I like to first choose my patterned tableware, which when I say patterned tableware, it consists of plates and napkins... anything that can go on the table that actually has a pattern on it, versus a solid colored plate, cup, and napkin. Today I chose one for a bachelorette party, which is just fun with bright pink and black, and white. So you kind of need to choose what you need to use for your table cover, which would be the base, and the napkins and everything to go with it. You could maybe choose a black table cover with a hot pink place-mat, which we have all colors on this aisle of tableware. This is also a very cost effective way to do it, because the solid colored tableware, which is just the solid colored plates, cups, and napkins, are more cost effective because they're sold in bulk and they don't have a pattern on them. So, you could just choose any pattern first, whether it's a baby shower, a birthday, anything, and then just match some tableware to it. We also have napkins in patterns, with each color. So you can add your solid colors to the patterns very easily."
