It is a party where everything is either black or white. The invitations, the decorations, the food (yes, it is), the dress code and the party favors too. The entire party theme is black and white. You can have this kind of a party to celebrate your bachelorette party or birthday party. Your party will become elegant and a major hit with the black and white party theme.

You are expected to wear complete black or complete white or black and white, both. For elegance, you could also try silver with black. It will make you look different and yet a part of the party. If you are the hosts, then be sure to wear your black dress with some silver jewelry.

It will make you look perfect. You can also add some silver hair streaks in your hair. Needless to say, your shoes and handbags should complement your dress perfectly. If it is your party, insist that all the guests should wear dresses in black and/or white and that there will be no entry if they wear any other color.

The party should have black and white invitations. How? For starters, try using a bold font in white color on a black paper or vice versa. The font could be curvy as curvy font gives a nostalgic look to the invites. You can make small satin bows in white to tie up your party invitations.

If you feel like spending more, you can become poetic and add some verses on your invitations. Mention the theme on the invitation, though I am sure the guests will recognize the theme the minute they set their eyes on the invitations.

There are plenty of decoration options for such a party. You can get all your party supplies in black and white colors. You can use some white satin sheets or black satin sheets or alternate between black and white satin sheets as drapes. Alternatively, you can use shimmering black curtains and the rest of the decor could remain white.

Get some black blankets and throw them on your couch and use them as rugs. Black and white balloons and crepe paper decorations can also be used. If you feel like splurging, use a black satin or velvet tablecloth with a silver or delicate white lace. This will add elegance and charm to the decorations. Aslo, go for black and white checkered tablecloth.

Flowers and candles in black and white can be clubbed to form table centerpieces. You can hang some paper lanterns made from black and white paper. They also look great with white light bulbs in them.
