Holiday Table Setting Ideas

• Start out by picking the theme of your table décor - this will be an extension of the theme you have already selected for your home décor christmas decorations.

TIP ...

Don’t worry if your tableware doesn’t all match. Mixing and matching are hot trends right now. Use the pieces that work the best, and then add accents within your chosen theme and colour scheme.


• Plan to have a signature drink and make it an extension of your themed entertaining décor…..super festive!


• Add themed extras such as thank yous, place card holders and party favours to your holiday event.

A FEW EXTRA TIPS ...

• Add Soft ambient light (whether it be candles, dimmed lights, or even holiday mini-lights) are a quick way to add atmosphere to your table.

• Don’t forget the music. The music you play will definitely set the tone for the evening. Do you want your event to be fun-filled and casual, or refined and elegant? Choose your music accordingly.

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY ...


• Enjoy yourself — don’t plan so much that you can’t enjoy the evening yourself. Prepare as much as possible ahead of time.
