It's a festive time of year, and you will have several opportunities to entertain with graduations, Father's Day and weddings to look forward to in the near future. However, this doesn't have to mean that you will need to invest in expensive dinner party accessories. You can host a gorgeous dinner party using inexpensive options that you may already have.
1: Dress Up Neutral Colors with Accessories
If you have plain white dinnerware, you have exactly what is required to dress up your table. You will only need to add colorful accessories, and you will be able to create an elegant look. For example, place a beautifully decorated ring around your napkins. If you don't have napkin rings, you can place colorful napkins with each setting that will make your table shine. Another option is to put a bright place mat under each dish.
2: Create Innovative Place Cards
Place cards will make your table more personal, but you don't have to use a simple white card to make your guests feel special. Try writing your guests' names on doilies that you tie to the stems of their water glasses. This will impress them as something that they haven't ever seen before.
3: Decorate to a Theme
If you are celebrating something special, you can add inexpensive decorations that manifest the theme. For example, graduation time is here, so you can choose a table cloth that is decorated with graduation caps and tassels. You can even purchase a cake that is decorated with the afore-mentioned caps, but your party wouldn't be complete without a graduation money tree.
4: Add Centerpieces
Centerpieces are also very important for your table, and you don't have to spend a lot of money in this area either. If you have several glass vases, they will serve as centerpieces extremely well. You will only need to add flowers that match your color scheme. However, flowers are not the only pieces of nature that you can place in a vase. You can also put whole branches in your vases that you can decorate with butterflies or blossoms. These decorations appear as if there is a beautiful tree sitting on top of your table.
5: Hang Decorations from the Ceiling
When decorating, you will pay particular attention to your table, but don't forget about the ceiling. The ceiling offers an opportunity to continue the color scheme or the dinner party's theme. For example, you can hang colorful streamers from the ceiling and paper lanterns, as well.
6: Make an Arrangement of Flameless Candles
Candles create a special atmosphere, and with flameless candles, you don't have to worry about burning the house down when you forget to blow them out at the end of the night. If your party will be held outside, you can place flameless candles everywhere without worries, even using resin candles that are perfect for higher outdoor temperatures. They will add a pleasant aroma as well as color, and they will not cost a fortune.
