How To Host A Fun &Amp; Fabulous Black And White Party

By Elizabeth Chastain

A Black and White party theme brings to mind all the glitz and glam of a black tie affair, along with a touch of romance and intrigue. To insure party success, be sure your guests’ clothing consist of only black and white, with accents of silver. By the by, this same rule holds true for your decorations. So, let’s start planning that splendid black and white affair.

BLACK AND WHITE PARTY INVITATION IDEASPro Invites

– If you really want to do it up right, then have professionally printed invites. Opt for white print on black paper. This will create instant elegance.

Mask Invites

– Decorate masquerade masks with black sequins, glitter, feathers, etc. Provide the party details on a high quality piece of textured paper, laminate, attach to the masks, and hand-deliver your invites.

COSTUME IDEAS FOR A BLACK AND WHITE PARTY THEME

Give everyone a black or white masquerade mask when they arrive.

Give each guest a pair of black or white retro type of sunglasses as they arrive.

DECORATION IDEAS FOR A BLACK AND WHITE PARTY THEME

Cover tabletops with a shimmery silver or black and silver organza overlay on top of a piece of black fabric.

Hang black, white, silver, or a combination of these colored organza fabrics in doorways to create a swag.

Cover chairs with black fabric and tie large organza bows around the backs of the chairs.

Display black and white candles on top of small mirrors and place on tables.

Accent white candles by hot gluing black decorative ribbons on them.

Sprinkle confetti onto your table tops. Use black, white, silver, or any combination of these colors.

Hang large black, white, and silver stars from your party room ceiling using fishing line.

Hang enlarged black and white photos or posters on your walls.

Transform your party room with black and white sheets on the walls, or opt for some fun black and white printed gossamer to really bring the Black and White Party mood to life.

Cover your ceiling with rows of black and white twisted streamers. Add clusters of balloons in the corners.

To really add a touch of elegance, spring for some black and white roses placed in tall vases throughout the room.

PARTY FOOD IDEAS FOR A BLACK AND WHITE PARTY

Figuring out black and white foods will probably be the most challenging party of planning this party. Here’s a few ideas to help get you started:

Black and white bean dips with “white” crackers or dark blue tortilla chips.

Black olives.

White cheese and white crackers.

Hard-boiled eggs minus the yolks. Fill them up with bean dip, chopped olives, etc.

Cream cheese on white crackers and topped with an olive.

Black and white beans.

Chicken Alfredo (white sauce)

Oreos.

White cheesecake with a dark chocolate frosting.

PARTY CAKE IDEAS FOR A BLACK AND WHITE PARTYFondant Cake #1

– Make or buy two sheet cakes round cakes, or square cakes, with one of the cakes being smaller then the other. Frost them both white or cover them in white fondant. Press small, medium, and large-sized black fondant circles onto the sides and tops of the cakes. Add a happy birthday message and accent the cake with silver piped out roses.

Fondant Cake #2

– Make or buy three round cakes, one small, one medium, and one large. Cover each cake with white fondant and stack one on top of the other. Make three different black fondant designs to accent each layer. For example, black fondant circles could accent one layer, black fondant stripes could accent another layer, and black squares could accent the last layer. Place the cake on a cake board covered with decorative silver foil. Top the cake off with a fun black and white cake topper.

Cupcakes

– Make it easy on yourself and opt for cupcakes frosted white with a black rose in the center.
