Wearables continue to bring in year-round sales No matter what the season or occasion, there seems to be an increasing demand for items that can be worn in connection with the occasion. This makes sense, as although paper goods such as plates, napkins, utensils and decorations are the mainstay of the party industry, many of the occasions and holidays that we celebrate are not done in the home. It is far more often that a bachelorette party occurs in a club or restaurant/bar than in a private home. We also note there is a trend to have the parties on the road, such as destination locations like Las Vegas. Who could argue that most celebrating of Mardi Gras and St Patrick's Day happens in the streets or bar? And pub crawls in which people dress like Santa or other characters also are enjoying more popularity.
