Table Decoration and Preparation
Some may disagree, but like Thanksgiving, one of the biggest parts of Christmas is the Christmas meal. Whether the meal is shared privately between friends and family, or cooked for a massive group that is filling an auditorium after the school Christmas performance, you will find that there is something special that happens around the dinner table. Make that special moment even better this year with Christmas tableware and other supplies to spruce up that table without going over budget.
While everyone is sharing stories and having a good time, make sure the tables look good for your party. Your dining and catering tables are vital at the meal so make them the centers of attention at your Christmas party. In addition to all of the Christmas party supplies we offer, there are also catering party supplies that will help make the meal look good and flow well all at once.
Here are some simple suggestions to help you make
your table look fun and festive for your Christmas party. There are so many options from which to choose when preparing for your party; these are just a few simple ideas to start you on the road to party success. If you have any more ideas let us know. The following steps for preparing a table are a quick and easy way to add style to the table and reduce mess all at once.
- Choose one of Partypro’s many Christmas and winter tablecovers that are available in individual and bulk quantities, and place it on the table. You can use two tablecovers and put them together for a half and half effect, or stick to one tablecover for a traditional look. Most likely you would only want to do the half and half look if you were going to use solid color red and green tableware for your party.
- Once the tablecover is in place, sprinkle confetti around the table. There are many different styles of Christmas confetti that can be used with or in place of generic confetti that comes in all shapes and sizes to fit your party theme..
- Using confetti can be a messy decision, but with this last step, you can avoid the mess and clean up after your party without a problem. Lay a clear plastic tablecover over the confetti to trap the confetti and keep it in place during the party. This way it is still visible, but it won't be a problem later.
You can also add various sizes of Christmas and regular confetti to create a cool visual affect. There are literally thousands of ways for your Christmas party to look good. Let us know if you have another idea.
Centerpieces
It is completely acceptable to use store-bought centerpieces for your table
, as well as advised when trying to single-handedly decorate dozens of tables. There are, however, times when a personalized touch will help make your party look even better. Whether you simply add a detail to an existing centerpiece, or you make one from scratch, it is always neat to be able to say, "Yes, I made that." Here are some helpful tips to get you started on your journey to the perfect centerpiece for your party.
- Tie some appropriately colored balloons that can be purchased individually or in bulk, to a simple balloon weight, or appropriately colored centerpiece, and place the balloon weight/centerpiece in the middle of a bowl. Our selection of 160 OZ bowls can be found in our catering section. Using the balloons with the centerpiece will help fill the room and add to the Christmas atmosphere.
- Fill the bowl with candy, napkins, or other tableware supplies that may be helpful to have on hand for the party. Adding these supplies will make your centerpiece functional and stylish with ease.
- Keep the centerpiece rolling by adding a 16 IN plastic tray under the bowl. The addition of the tray will make the centerpiece look more complete while adding additional functionality to the centerpiece with more space for food or tableware items.
We have other centerpiece party ideas available so you can find the idea that you think is best for your party. If you are just throwing a close, private Christmas party, you may find that there will be too much delicious food on the table to be able to incorporate a centerpiece. That is perfectly fine. You can use these Christmas centerpiece party ideas are great for big parties where you have tables that need to have a festive accent applied to them; in a banquet hall for example. If the food is being held at a catering table, it will be much easier to use centerpieces, but if the food is going to be held and served from each table, you probably won't need a centerpiece.
