Bridal shower paper products

bmiller1128 · January 2014

Hey ladies.

I haven't been on here for quite some time. I'm throwing a shower for one of my friends and I was wondering if any of you had any advice as to where I could get polka dot, chevron, or striped plates, cups napkins ect. I wanted to get purple and then gray. There will only be about 20 people at the party but I really don't want to spend $40 on paper products. I found some good websites but I don't really like the shipping price. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Have you looked at party supply stores?

You should XP (cross post) this on your local board. Answers may depend on where you live.

For example, I know that near Flint, MI they have a dollar party store that is great for this stuff. But chances are you don't live in Flint so this won't apply.

I have looked online at partycity. Most of the things are specific to a certain them or just solid colors. Thanks csuave I will definitely do that!

Purple and gray are my wedding colors !

Hobby Lobby may have them - if you have one near you.

I found these at oriental trading http://www.orientaltrading.com/purple-tableware-a2-OTCG1231.fltr?prodCatId=551221

there are some etsy stores that carry them, but they are pricey https://www.etsy.com/shop/angelwingsparty?ga_search_query=chevron+paper+plates&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=US&ga_ref=auto3&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_facet=handmade&ref=sr_gallery_27

If you have a color printer, you can try printing on plain-colored napkins. Some people have done this before to add text to patterns (see an example here), so I'm sure a pattern could work too.

Some may oppose to this idea, but you can also find some nice (and inexpensive!) stuff at dollar stores. And of course, there's always the big box stores and hobby/art supply places.
