10 Charming Table Settings for Your Next Party!

10 charming table setting ideas to inspire your next dinner party or event. Table sets are one of my favorite things about entertaining, but I know they can be a hassle.

I always tell people that setting the table doesn’t have to be extravagant… simple votives, a few flowers, and one personalized detail are all you need. You can mix and match vintage glasses and even silverware.

Add personal touches by printing out photos as place cards or use unique napkin rings like the leather ones below.

The possibilities are endless, whether you are setting your table for Christmas or Thanksgiving this fall.

A handwritten or printed menu is a nice touch, too, and doesn’t take much time. I bet you can create a very charming setting using the items in your home and flowers from your garden!

If you’re hosting a summer party or a tropical party, use palm leaves and bamboo to set the table. Tropical flowers down the center are just the right touch. See more of this kick-off to the summer party here!
