Start things off right by setting the tone for your black and white theme party with an appropriate black and/or white invitation. Nothing less will do. If you want your guests to comply with your requirements, then you must set the bar and make it high! When considering your options for black and white invitations, here's one to think about incorporating:

BLACK AND WHITE LACE INVITATIONS - Cut an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of white card stock into four pieces. Cover each piece with a black lace overlay and glue in place. Cut an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of white card stock into 7 1/2" x 10" and then cut that piece into four pieces. Type or write in calligraphy your party details on each piece of white card stock. Glue one piece to the center of each piece of card stock that is covered with black lace. Accent the top of the invite with a small black bow. You can either punch two holes and tie it to the top of each invite or make a bow and glue it in place.

Here's an entire page that contains nothing but numerous ideas for Black And White Invitations from which to select.


BLACK AND WHITE PARTY COSTUMES

A black and white theme party isn't complete unless you ask your guests to wear black, white, or black and white with accents of silver, along with wearing black sunglasses. Specify if your event is formal or casual. Have a few extra pieces of black and white clothing on hand, in case guests fail to comply with party attire colors. If you let people into the party who have on other colors, your theme will be ruined, but of course, it is your call. If you don't require guests to bring black sunglasses, provide them for photo-op.
