What size party cups do you need
Use 9 oz cups for children and 12–16 oz cups for adults. A 9 oz cup is one child-sized drink, while 16 oz holds a can of soda plus ice. If you buy only one size, take 12 oz, which works for both and reduces refills.
How many cups do I need per guest?
Three per guest covers a two-to-three hour party. People reuse a cup unless it is dropped, so the count is driven by accidents rather than thirst.
Paper or plastic cups for a party?
Paper for cold drinks and photos, plastic or reusable for anything iced that sits out for hours, because paper cups soften and sweat through their base.

Which paper plates are strong enough for a party
Choose coated plates of 300 gsm or heavier with a rim : the coating stops sauce soaking through and the rim stops the plate bending under load. Thin uncoated plates are fine for cake and snacks but collapse under pasta, rice or anything with gravy.

Paper vs plastic vs reusable tableware
Choose paper for birthdays and quick clean-up, plastic when plates must hold heavy or saucy food, and reusable for showers and dinners where the table is part of the styling. Paper is the cheapest per head, plastic is the strongest, and reusable only wins once it is washed and used again.
