No guessing at which color balloons will go with your table linens and which plates will match your napkins. You have two colors to choose from, and any subtle pops of color you may use are guaranteed to look good.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here is some <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">black and white party<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> decor inspo:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Checkers: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Checkered items haven\u2019t gone out of style yet, and a B&amp;W check is super easy to find for plates, napkins, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tablecloths<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and photo backdrops.

Use black velvet for a moody look or shimmery white satin for something bright.

Give a specific <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dress code<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on your invitations so everyone knows what to wear. Here are some possible themes:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Cocktail: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indicate a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cocktail party<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dress code<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> if you want guests to arrive in dresses, pantsuits, heels, collared shirts, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bow ties<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and slacks.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Casual: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let everyone know to go for a casual B&amp;W if you want everyone to feel comfy in <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">T-shirts<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, jeans, and sneakers.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Costume:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If it\u2019s a <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/halloween-costume-party\">Halloween party<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">birthday party<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, maybe you want to ask for costumes that fall in the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">black and white theme<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
