Any ‘medal-winning’ Olympics party also will boast a full selection of theme-related party supplies. These could include miniature plastic medals and blue, red and gold ribbons that guests can wear throughout the party and take home as party favors; a centerpiece made of wood, plastic, stone or paper mache that shows the famous Olympic logo, five interlocking rings, colored blue, yellow, black, green, and red on a white field. Flags showing this logo also could be displayed throughout the party, as could plastic or electric versions of the Olympic torch. Posters and plaques could be displayed that ‘sport’ the Olympic motto (Citius, Altius, Fortius , which is Latin for "Faster, Higher, Stronger"); all party tableware, meanwhile, should boast the colors presented in the logo.
