Festive Partyware
A trend towards larger and more frequent gatherings is helping boost sales of products that help create a memorable party. The popularity of casual low key entertaining is creating a demand for whimsical themed earthenware and ceramic tableware in non-traditional colors. A definite trend is the pairing of black and white as well as the rustic look, which incorporates hollowed-out wood serving bowls and twig napkin rings.
Trendy Invitations
While the trend towards holiday decorating seems to be “casual”, the opposite speaks true for party invites. Rather than informing guests via phone or email, many consumers prefer to send written invitations. Among color combinations and motifs picked are red and gold, copper and blue, as well as embellishments such as boxwood, winter flowers and brocade.
