Also, consider the ideal number of people. Also, know your audience. Determine ahead of time what games are appropriate for guests. You are feeding your guests but the dinner portion is secondary.
And how many of us have been in this situation? Setting up a festive food table is easy, will get you out of the kitchen sooner, and it can pretty well manage itself. Variation is key and there are a ton of options for platters, boards, stands, and whatever your little food-table-setting heart desires on this Bed Bath and Beyond page. Ok, this is where I really started having fun. I have a drawer full of charms but using name cards from Cards Against Humanity or another card game gets your guests involved and laughing before even starting.
I used a hole punch and some twine to tie on each; you could even tape them to the bottom of the glass. We talked about staying out the kitchen, right? Along with what happens when someone sits down to eat for a formal meal and then before you know it, it becomes this big thing and hours have passed? Also, I am totally guilty of planning something I want to serve warm — like peach cobbler — and everyone being too stuffed for me to actually make the dessert.
Or, getting carried away in conversation and like the accidentally cancelled game portion of the night, it gets too late to start baking. I used scrabble tiles for each place setting and it took less time than if I had typed up and printed out super basic cards on the computer. I also added dice as filler to my small flower centerpiece vases.
The flowers were simple- I grabbed a couple inexpensive bunches at the grocery store while I was shopping for food and mixed them with a few freshly cut hydrangeas from the side of our house.
This set of 12 will keep you stocked for parties Christmas? Let me tell you- it has saved me more than once in having to grin and bare the inevitable accidents that happen. So, we already talked about trying to keep the menu to simple appetizers and finger foods. One fork and knife just in case is more than sufficient.
It made me feel like our former set was something I would have used in a school cafeteria haha. Plus, they conserve space so people can actually still snack without having a huge dinner plate obstructing the table. Bonus — this palm frond and palmetto leaf outdoor tablecloth comes in several sizes and options.
