white dinner plates and white-dusted or white-rimmed drinking
and wine glasses, set our tables to suit the number of guests

the all- white dress code.

parting gift of all-white party-themed items such as white-
coated candies, white peppermints or butter mints, white
colored sunglasses or other white-themed treats.
