Simple Hosting Tips For Casual Dinners

Tip 01 – Set the Table during the day. Take the stress out of rushing before guests arrive and set the table earlier in the day using candlelight or seasonal foliage.

Tip 02 – Keep the tablescape casual and simple. Make sure nothing obstructs the view of being able to see and converse with your guests. Try folding your linen napkins in a knot for a more casual look.

Tip 03 – Have an appetizer ready for family to enjoy when they arrive. Remember, keep it simple, a charcuterie board is a perfect centerpiece that looks beautiful and will keep guests grazing until dinner is served.

Tip 04 – Turn on a Cozy Autumn Playlist. Listen to our Playlist Here.

Tip 05 – Looking for a seasonal recipe to try? If you picked up any Heirloom Pumpkins at the pumpkin patch this year, try our Pumpkin Pasta or a Roasted Pumpkin Soup!

Happy Cozy Hosting!
