Tableware

• You can incorporate purple into your party by simply dressing up your table. You do not want to overpower the table by picking a solid colored purple tablecloth, so choose a tablecloth with a lot of purple accents. You can pick up purple plates and napkins at your local party store. If you are serving a meal, be sure to get large plates and smaller plates for the cake. If you are really going all out with purple, choose purple cups as well. However, you may have trouble finding purple cups so clear plastic would go with the purple decor.
  
  

Decorations

• You can't have a purple party without several purple decorations throughout the venue. Balloons are a definite for any party. You do not have to have all solid purple balloons; a better look would be several shades of purple latex balloons and a few mylar balloons that have purple accents in them. You will also want to include some purple centerpieces. Purple flowers are a great touch to an party. You can find purple roses, lavender flowers or purple hydrangeas that would go perfectly in the center of your table. If you do not want a floral centerpiece, consider an arrangement of purple candles. Throw some purple confetti on the table and you are ready to go.
  
  

Purple Food

• A fun way to spice up your purple party is to serve purple foods. Purple food will be the ultimate decoration at your party. Display the purple food on the table as a focal point. You can include grapes, egg plant, and purple punch. Make a salad that includes beets, purple cabbage and purple potatoes. You can easily turn foods purple by adding some food coloring. For example, make a pasta dish with a cream sauce. Add some purple food coloring to your sauce and you have a delicious purple masterpiece. You will also want to make sure you have a tasty purple treat for dessert. You can have purple sorbet or purple cupcakes. Be creative and have fun with your purple menu.
  
  

Themes

• Consider choosing a theme for your party that will help include shades of purple. If you are throwing a special party for your little one, consider a Barney-themed event. You can purchase a Barney decorating party kit that will include signs, centerpieces and balloons all of which include purple.
  
  For adults, a wine and cheese party would be a great occasion to incorporate various purples. Different wine bottles and grapes will help add purple accents to the decor.
