Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for "fifth of May") is a celebration held on May 5. It is celebrated in the United States and regionally in Mexico, primarily in the state of Puebla,where the holiday is called El Día de la Batalla de Puebla (English: The Day of the Battle of Puebla). It originated with Mexican-American communities in the American West as a way to commemorate the cause of freedom and democracy during the first years of the American Civil War, and today the date is observed in the United States as a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride. In the state of Puebla, the date is observed to commemorate the Mexican army's unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguín. Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico's Independence Day—the most important national patriotic holiday in Mexico—which is celebrated on September 16. (wikipedia)

Celebrating this day is a huge tradition by doing so with amazing foods, drinks and goodies, along with friends and family. Good music is always needed when having such an amazing celebration.

A Premium Party is always the best way to go, by not having to wash the dishes at the end of the party you're already considered a avid partier! Today's day and age there are so many options when looking to choose from upscale disposable partyware, say you want round plates or square plates with a wave design or even the unique soft square edge disposable plates, they are all great for the party and your guest won't even know that they're plastic until they feel them.

Table Setup: It's very important to know who and how many people you're going to be having for dinner or for the party, it's always good to have a plan of who'll be there and what you'll be serving. Is it an all buffet style or a sit down. In any case there are products and dishes that will help you work around every situation and make you look like a hero at the end of the day. Make sure when you start that there should be plenty of appetizers and finger food (check out our Pinterest board for great inspiration) so that even your main dish is not ready, everyone will be happy and start some great conversations.

Drink: Always good to start off the party with soft or alcoholic beverages, let people get comfortable and loose so that they should enjoy the party as they wish, make sure you have adult supervision if there are any minors attending this party, or be safe and leave the hard beverages for the end after the kids are done and just the adults are left.

Food: Food menu is something that will need to be decided based on whom your guest will be, it's always good to have some salads, pasta and or vegetables, beans go great, some meat to fill you up would be great as well. You don't need to go crazy with preparing so much food since you don't want anything left over for you to have to clean up. Some chips, fruit and some smoked turkey would be the perfect blend of foods to keep your guests satisfied and you'll be happy as well.

Welcome back from Las Vegas everyone!

We've just got back from an amazing Catersource Tradeshow. This show has become for us a real great event where we can display our full line of Upscale Disposable Dinnerware and Partyware collections and it's only getting better over the years, the Catersource company is an amazing company with a bunch of great people to deal and work with, they are very nice and friendly.

The show was an amazing experience for us as it was for all attendees, this is a very hands-on show where everyone has questions and interacts with each other, that's when you can get a sense if what you're doing is right.

When an attendee comes into your booth and starts getting excited when they see your products, they take photos of the products and ask different questions about the product, you know you're doing something right. That's exactly what we've had in the past few days, we have been showing our new products that will be available in the coming few months and we have gotten only positive response from all the attendees.

The first product that we will be launching is the Renaissance plates in different trendy colors, there will be a purple/wine color, a beautiful metallic silver color and a pistachio green color. These new color will be available for all three size plates.
We've also been showing a new service that we have begun to offer, printing on products. What that means is, say you're doing a catering event for a client that has a large company, a great way to bring together the party is by having the clients logo printed on the plates, trays, utensils and tumblers, when people arrive at the party they'll know that this is a promotional party for that company and they'll remember it for a long time. The same goes with promotions, say you're a deli or a breakfast and coffee house, you'll want your patrons to feel at home with that personal touch, adding print on product is a great way to bring that together.

More of the new products that we've been displaying were, a new mini wine carafe, a new real mini wine glass and a cute little espresso mug with a tiny little handle to get your finger in there, there was also a silver pick, great for martinis and fruit dishes. We also have 5 new catering items, 2 size deep trifle bowls and 3 different sizes of cake trays with stands that build upward in tiers, those will be available in clear and white.

All in all we can say that we've had a truly engaging tradeshow and everyone who passed our booth had been amazed over the booth layout and the product. It's not too late to signup for our free iPad giveaway which will be announced on Thursday the 22nd of March, you can signup here make sure to like our Facebook page in order for you to win, check out our Facebook page here and start engaging with us about our products, we'd love to hear from you.
