Prepare Your Dining Room for Holiday Parties

Get ready to set up the tree, string up the holiday lights and deck your dining room out to celebrate the season! Holiday parties are hands down the best, and it’ll be time to bake gingerbread cookies and pour eggnog before you know it. Are you looking to take your holiday gatherings to the next level? Check out the festive tips we’ve put together below!

Plenty of Seating

Make sure that you get an accurate headcount when it comes to party guests. The last thing you want is to not have enough space for everyone on the day of the big event. Consider placing the Jax Bar Table behind your sofa or in your dining room for extra seating. You could also purchase folding tables or extra bar stools for games like Secret Santa!

Merry Decor

What’s a holiday celebration without some holiday decor? The Bellamy Buffet is perfect for showing off your favorite decorative place settings, Christmas pieces, festive lights and cheery wax warmers. Stock up on wintery candles that smell like peppermint, cinnamon and fresh-cut fir to flicker and add to the magic! You could even place a mini tabletop Christmas tree on your curio cabinet or side table if you want to go the extra mile. 

Turn Heads With the Table

Go all out when you set up the dining room table! After all, there’s only a small window of time to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year, and you should take advantage of it. Place bright red poinsettias in the center of the table, arranged in a complementary green vase. Get creative with pine cones, greenery, floating candles and beautiful ornaments. You can even arrange the plates and utensils to look like snowmen — just add gumdrop eyes, a carrot nose and finish it off with a fabric hat cut-out. The possibilities are endless!
