‘Use solid color party supplies only as my next party décor.’ Mrs. Ryan ordered. My new assistant, who is not familiar with our trade lingo, got a trifle confused. To clear away all confusions –

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.

Solid color party supplies are very popular among the party throwers of our times. These provide a good, solid impression of wholeness and oneness and are a great way to emphasise the colour theme of a celebratory gathering, if any. Printed accessories along with a few solid color party supplies also give a pleasing effect.

The solid color party supplies collection is complete in the sense it has all the possible colors on earth – be it deep or light. Party accessories one normally requires are arranged on their solid color basis and kept in packages, ready for sale:
• plates

• balloons

Confetti has a profound relation with celebration – it is found everywhere! People have designed celebrations around confetti – ticker tape parade is an example.
Literal meaning of the word confetti is ‘uncountable’. It is not be confused with an Italian sweetmeat by the same name! The confetti we are talking about is described as a large quantity of metal, flower or paper pieces thrown during parties and festivals. This can be prepared by shredding paper using a pair of scissors or a shredder or using a ticket punch or hole punch to make paper chads.

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.

Given these roots, it is not unnatural that
baby shower confetti is a craze today.

Americans have a special way to commemorate motherhood and welcome the tiny baby into the world – by throwing baby shower parties. The party has a very practical aspect – the guests bring with such articles as gifts that shall be of use to the new mommy and her child. A fair collection of diapers, cribs, baby clothes, feeding bottles, pacifiers et cetera may well be made in a baby shower party.

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.

Generally, only women gather at baby shower dos, but lately men have also been attending the parties and have also gone up to organizing men’s only baby shower parties.

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.

The party organizers of today are vying with one another to think up more creative themes for baby showers and needless to say, their favourite accessory is the baby shower confetti. The party mangers of today are in competition with each other in creating more and more artistic baby shower themes and the one décor item they love fiddling with is the baby shower confetti.

Several available options include:

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 coloured 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.
One downside of baby shower confetti, though, is the amount of cleaning up it requires afterwards!
Indoor baby showers leave no option to the host but to pick up the mop and the broom. Outdoor parties have an additional option to utilize organic baby shower confetti which can be cleaned up by the environment itself.
Examples of organic confetti is rice, flower petal and leaves.
