Entertain Like a Diva – Holiday Style

We showed you how to doll it up for going out this holiday season in
Dress Like a Diva, but ‘tis also the season for staying in. Staying in for a party that is! Here are some tips for entertaining like a Diva throughout this season of celebrations:
This time of year, guests arrive with confections, gifts and. . .coats. What to do with all those jackets? Be prepared, of course, with this folding garment rack. After your guests have left, use it for your ever-growing wardrobe all year-round!
Worried that you don’t have enough seating? Forget about those old metal folding chairs. Pick up a few of these Director’s Barstools with quilted covers instead. The bright cushions will add festivity to any room.
When it comes to food, start off with a store-bought salad, toss it into a bowl and spruce it up with elegant serving pieces. Pier 1 Imports has a pair from India that are solid nickel-plated brass with resin inlays.
Dinnerware comes in all shapes, colors, and textures. Riviera Dinnerware’s pebbled clear glass serving pieces get the bubbly flowing before you even pop the champagne cork. The texture will add character to anything you’re serving, without overshadowing it!
No one will know if you order in your favorite tapas or dim sum from Williams-Sonoma. Forego the takeout containers and arrange everything expertly on these distressed wood serving trays for a look that says, “I didn’t try too hard, but I tried a little.”
Any Diva knows that accessories make all the difference. So, dress up your table with linens that sparkle, like these table runners , napkins and napkin rings .
Fondue in a fancy pot is clearly the way to go for dessert. Just have some of these fun cocktail napkins on hand!
Remember, partying like a Diva can make you the scene-setter for your crowd this holiday season!
