Embellishments for Entertaining
Thanksgiving is a few days away as everyone prepares for house guests and food preparation. I wanted to share a quick, free, DIY printable table name cards that you can fill in the names, print, cut, and fold.
A few weeks ago I wanted to do a little something to celebrate the Birthday of a very good friend of mine. It was an intimate gathering that was very casual, but of course its still a celebration, so I felt like sequins and champagne were in order. A few friends came by for dinner, to celebrate our lovely Birthday lady including their adorable 8 month old son, joining us at the table but unfortunately not quite old enough for a piece of birthday cake. The table had no shortage of sparkle with this amazing rose gold almost copper table cloth: 60”*102” Rectangle Sparkly Rose Gold Sequin Glamorous Cloth/fabric for Wedding/dessert Table
. The table was also flourished with some simple tealights that I found at goodwill and geometric lanterns.
I’m planning on having a dinner party with a fall theme as the days have become much cooler here in New England. Most the table decor I am planning has a lovely neutral gold and cream color scheme. I wanted to include napkin rings in this tablescape but I only have silver ones and if your getting more then six or eight of them it can add up quickly, so decided to DIY and make some.
A friend and I had decided to host a 30th Birthday for a dear friend of ours this fall. After some thought and searching Pintrest I found a lot of photos and themes around Coachella and Boho style. Seeing as our friend at times can have a flower child vibe it was decided to throw a Boho/Festival themed gathering consisting of a low table and floor seating on serape rugs and pillows. After searching I came up with a few things that I thought would really add to the boho Coachella like theme:
