We love hosting our friends and family any time of year, but especially over the holidays! There\u2019s nothing better than slowing down to celebrate friendship with your nearest and dearest over a good meal and homemade pie. And let\u2019s be real, Friendsgiving is truly the official kick-off to the holiday season, so there is little not to love about this very special holiday!<\/p>\n

Over the years and many parties, I\u2019ve picked up a few tips and tricks that have made putting together tablescapes feel like a breeze instead of chore. When you are busy in the kitchen making sure the meal turns out, the last thing you need to be worried about is the decor.<\/p>\n

I use these five rules below as a guideline when I\u2019m setting my tables for any party. Instead of a chore, it\u2019s become the fun preamble to the main event. Hopefully these tips will help you as you put together a special Friendsgiving that your BFFs won\u2019t forget!<\/p>\n

5 Tablesetting Tips<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Flowers: This is an easy one! Fresh flowers make a world of a difference. Whether you are a snipping some greenery from your yard, picking up a bundle from the bodega, or ordering in something fancy. You can never go wrong with fresh flowers!<\/li>\n
  2. Texture: I say, the more texture the better! Like this woven table runner<\/a> and these linen napkins<\/a>. Adding in texture will make your space feel interesting and give the table depth.<\/li>\n
  3. Ambiance: Candles<\/a>, candles, and MORE candles! Using tea lights or filling beautiful vases<\/a> like this one, can make a huge difference in the atmosphere. Also, I\u2019ve noticed that people tend to stay at the table longer when there are candles\u2026 it relaxes everyone and keeps the conversation going!<\/li>\n
  4. Personalization: Whether it\u2019s a handmade place card, or a little daisy tucked into the napkins, a little thoughtfulness goes a long way!<\/li>\n
  5. Comfort: Last but certainly not least! When looking for a dining room table<\/a> I had two things in mind: comfort and size. I wanted the table to fit into the room design, sure\u2026 but more than that, I want my dinner guests to be able to comfortably cross their legs under the table and be able to cut food without elbowing each other! It seems like a tall order, but this table<\/a> from Home Decorators Collection was exactly we were looking for!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
