What should a party tableware set include
A usable set includes plates, cups, napkins, cutlery and a table cover in one design. Check that plates are at least twice the guest count and that cutlery matches the headcount, because cutlery is the item sets skimp on most often.
Is a matching set cheaper than mixing designs?
Usually yes at the same quality, because the set is bought as one product. Mixing lets you over-buy only the items that actually run out, so it can win for large parties.
What is usually missing from a tableware set?
Serving spoons, a table cover and a lighter for candles. Those three cause the most last-minute trips, so add them when you order the set.

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.
