What do you really need for a dinner party? Why, delicious food, of course. But what will make your dinner party an unforgettable experience and leave guests feeling extra special? Everything else! The decor, the table setting, the flowers, the stemware, etc. Overwhelmed? Don’t be. We put together a list of accessories that will be sure to wow guests at your next dinner party.
Vanvro Matte-Gold 20-Piece Silverware Set ($34.88, shop here)
We know that it’s easy to serve finger foods (or to pull out a box of plastic utensils), but if you want to really wow your guests, gold silverware is the way to go. This matte-gold set features a unique, modern design that will bring much visual interest to your tablescape.
BonNoces Matte Black Porcelain Dinner Plates, Set of 4 ($31.99, shop here)
We totally see the appeal of paper plates, but if your goal is to wow your guests, these matte black plates will do just that. Combine them with the matte-gold flatware above, and guests will feel like they’ve stepped into a five-star restaurant. Now you’ve got a gorgeous table setting, and we’re only two elements in!
Fingercraft Dinner Cloth Napkins ($24.99, shop here)
Hear us out: Cloth napkins change the whole vibe of a dinner party. As simple as it seems, a linen napkin at each place setting will impress guests immensely. And if you wanted to step up your cloth napkin game, tie a sprig of fresh (or fake!) herbs around each napkin and lay one atop each plate. *Chef’s kiss*
Lysenn Stemless Wine Glasses 2-Pack ($13.99, shop here)
We love having unique glasses to serve wine or cocktails, and these stemless ones are both subtle and eye-catching. The gold base in these glasses sets them apart from most wine glasses you’ll find in-store, and the slanted rim gives them a sleek, modern look.
Baroque Bud Glass Vase Set ($39.99, shop here)
Head to your nearest supermarket and peruse the flower section for some relatively inexpensive bouquets. Get as many as you need to ensure the arrangements are nice and full, then get creative once you get home. We adore these vintage-inspired glass vases that will add texture and dimension to your table.
Watercolor Place Cards ($9.99, shop here)
Personalized place cards will not only make guests feel welcome, but this way, everyone can avoid that awkward guessing game of where to sit. This is also a great way to mix guests up if they don’t all know each other. And the best part? They take up zero room, so you can keep extra ones on hand for your next dinner party!
