8 Wedding Ideas to Steal for Your Next Dinner Party
Always Add Sparkle
Don't skimp on the glitz when it comes to your linens, especially if you're taking the meal al fresco. Just keep the place settings simple and let the tablecloth shine.
Set Up a Bar
Instead of having guests crowd around one table for food and drinks, create a separate zone just for mixing cocktails. Bonus points if it's as chic as this one from Jubilee Events.
Skip Plain Glass Vases
Sometimes you have to let the vessel be the star of the show. A metallic vase adds drama to this table when paired with understated blooms like delicate anemones.
Make a Bolder Centerpiece
There are no rules that say bouquets can only consist of flowers. In fact, some of the most interesting centerpieces, like this one from Lilacs, contain other surprise stars, including apples, artichokes, succulents, and ornamental kale for added dimension.
Skip Plain White Plates
For a tablescape that really pops, Dreaming Tree Events paired mismatched plates into a single, visually stunning place setting for each guest.
Create a Signature Sip
Signature cocktails aren't just reserved for the bar on a couple's big day. No matter what the occasion, mix up several batches of your own trademark drink. It will lend a fanciful touch to even the most laid back soiree.
Think Small
Keep the party going by serving desserts in smaller, mingle-friendly portion sizes, rather than a more formal seated affair.

Offer Parting Gifts
To secure your spot as the ultimate hostess, send guests home with personalized gifts that they'll actually use. Consider an artisanal loaf of bread, homemade baked goods, or hand bottled honey.Next
