Creating an exciting dinner table…


So you’re planning your next casual dinner party, your entertaining a group of friends, and now the stress begins. It’s not just the menu choices and the guest list that causes anxiety…it’s all of the little “extras” in planning this small event. You just need to make it a little more fun by adding some excitement to the planning stage itself.

One thing you might try is to create a unique look to your dinner table for your guests…and that task itself does not have to be an event of epic proportions. Think of just adding one or two additional items to your setting. A set of votive candle holders along the centerline of your table will create a warm and welcoming tone to the evening or use them as smaller vase holders across the table in lieu of a larger arrangement. You may also want to add a table enhancer like our Clear Glass Shaped Sea Shells or our Silver Sea Stars. These accessories can be “sprinkled” around the table to add a little seaside flare to your evening festivities. When the party is over, our Silver Sea Stars make a perfect accent to your nautical décor…just set them on your coffee table or around a bookcase. They even look fabulous in a large Hurricane candle holder as an everyday centerpiece. Our clear glass sea shells, while they look fantastic scattered about a dinner table, are a great stabilizer for fresh cut flowers in a clear glass vase…something different than the regular everyday glass pebbles. You can’t help but notice their cute designs. You can view all of these products and more at http://www.seasidedg.com/
