Cutlery is the thing people remember on the morning of the party, which is why it ends up being clear plastic from a grocery aisle on a table that was otherwise planned. A colored fork is a small correction with a disproportionate effect: it is in every photograph of the food table, and it costs about twenty-one cents each.
Seventy-two forks is three each for twenty-four guests, or two each for thirty-six. Three is the right planning number for a party with cake and a savory course, because forks get put down and abandoned faster than plates do.
The listing calls them premium sturdy plastic cutlery. Note that this shelf carries forks only — there are no knives and no spoons in any color, so a full place setting has to be completed elsewhere.
