( I've had a few mishaps with candles believe me - one night a mini bonfire started on the
table which someone put out with a bottle of wine, lol )
and I painstakingly arrange my napkins for the most part like this
For the ladies
and Gentlemen
normally it would be a white shirt and black tie - ( my white napkins must have been
dirty lol )
wine glasses usually hold a quotation - or a poem - each one different for each guest.............
I get by with a little help from my friends
I[m gonna try with a little help from my friends
I eat pie with a little help from my friends
I get high with a little help from my friends
I'm gonna fly with a little help from my friends
etc.................
and name tags sometimes include a little trivia on the back of the card
if anyone is interested in the men's shirt tutorial - you can find it here ( super easy - just a little
time consuming!!! )

I love the way you did your napkins and your table looks so elegant!
ReplyDeletethanks so much!!!
DeleteOh, that's just too darn cute! I can do a lot of things but I'm brain dead when it comes to entertaining for some reason. I admire people who, like you, put an effort into it. It makes your guests feel special!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful table setting! Love all the details you put in to create such a warm and welcoming atmosphere for your guests. So when is your next party? :-)
