Set a Stunning Table
Your dining table will be the focal point of your gathering. Table setting can make or break the ambiance of your gathering. So, how can you make it stand out?
Well with the right pieces of course. You can start with some fancy placemats.
Like these Blue Sea Fan Art ones. Why use a tablecloth if you have easy-to-use and easy-to-clean placemats? Not to mention that they’ll instantly grab the attention of your guests.
You can combine them with napkins in similar colors for a cohesive look like the Blueberries Blu Dinner napkins to take your dinner to the next level.
Serve with Style
The right hostess takes care of her guests and makes sure they are well served and pampered. But serving them with style is what makes her unique and special.
Adding a fancy - or more than one - serving tray to your hosting can transform your party’s atmosphere.
Apart from serving drinks and carrying plates and cutlery from the kitchen to the dining room and back, you can use your trays to place finger food or create cheese and cold meat platters.
Opt for pieces of summery patterns like the Watermelon Party Round tray or the Square Beach Vista Design one to align with the season.
Or, if you want to let your artistic side surface you can pick a piece like the Lobster Boat Parade or the Butterfly Study Square . Aren’t they true art pieces?
Offer Stylish Drinkware - Part I
Your friends will have their drinks too. Whether you’re serving cocktails, mocktails, or just plain soda, the right glassware makes a big difference.
So, why stick to the boring white paper towels when you can have a twist of fanciness?
To serve the drinks with grace you can offer them with some trendy paper cocktail napkins. Combining them with the serving trays’ patterns is even better. For instance, you can choose the Watermelon or the Beach Vista ones.

Offer Stylish Drinkware - Part II
Paper cocktail napkins are the first option. But if you are more of an eco-friendly hostess with an evolved environmental consciousness you can opt for the reusable cocktail napkins option, instead.
These pieces are durable, washable, and can serve as your drinkware for many hosting events. And they come in plenty of shapes, colors, and patterns, too.
We have launched several sets of reversible pieces to make this kind of drinkware even more attractive. Whether you pick the Lemon Slices Blu napkins or the Lobster Blue ones won’t matter. They’ll do the job, in any case.
Add Cozy, Comfortable Touches
The dining room is not the only space in your house that will attract your guests. Your sitting room will also be the center of their attention. They will probably sit there to savor their cocktails while chit-chatting.
This is why this hosting tip is vital at this point. Creating a cozy atmosphere with soft, inviting textiles around your sofa and armchairs will just rock it. This is where throw blankets come into the scene. They are perfect for draping over your sofa or even your outdoor seating.
They are not just stylish but also provide a warm, welcoming feel that encourages guests to relax and stay awhile. If that isn’t the top hosting tip, then what is?
Pieces like the Navy Tan Cuddle or the Pink Tan Cuddle throw blankets can match harmonically with almost every kind of furniture and material. Go for them!
Add Sparkles of Light
Personalize Your Hosting Experience
Adding personal touches can make your guests feel extra special. These can either be handwritten place cards, a signature cocktail, a curated playlist, or thoughtfully packaged little gifts. They can all contribute to a memorable experience.
Talking about gifts, you can choose some trendy gift bags to make your presents even more awesome and add that personal flair. We have an extensive collection of fancy gift bags that will satisfy even the most demanding hostess.
