A perfect, customized dinner party!

When you invite guests over for dinner, preparing a nice table is a nice way to welcome them.

Using the best table cloth, plates and glasses you have is a way to make your guests feel you care about them. 
Next time you invite your friends over, you could surprise them even more – you could customize your table and set it up it in the way you like it or...in the way your guests may like it!

Etsy.com is a good place to visit, when trying to find personalized items. Just as Nu-nomad offers customized bags (also!) on Etsy, so do other shops.

So, here are some interesting Etsy shops offering customized options to amaze your guests with a great table setting.

LovelyHomeIdea´s customized tablecloth

First thing you want to do is to cover your table with a nice table cloth. 

Cannot find in shops a colour you like in the size you need? You could have your new table cloth made by LovelyHomeidea. Select the colour you prefer, among the fabrics offered by the shop - all beautiful and elegant linen - and tell the measurements which you require.

TheBirdsEye´s cinderella tags

 Second thing you may want to do is to tell your friends what the menu will be.

 Though displaying a menu with food courses is something usually reserved for big events (like weddings), it could be fun - for once - to do the same for a more informal dinner party.  If you like fairy tales, you can have your customized food tags at TheBirdsEye. Cute tags, shaped like Cinderella ´s dress and princesses´crowns, will bring some joy to your table. And, of course, you will have them in a colour matching your table cloth.

Mollie´s hand painted glasses

If you were thinking about giving your friends a small party favour, maybe you could give them the glass they will be using to drink. A funny idea would be to have your friends´portait painted on wine glasses. Mollie´s would do that for you.

Or - if you prefer something more classical - you can have the names´ initials of your guests painted on the glasses. This is GlassPizzaz ´s specialty!

 

You could even go further and have names´initials also on the serving dishes. How? Ask Zinniadesignstc to paint them for you!


And now the final classy touch – a customized beaded serving set. This is what the shop  Weavesbeads offers. Choose the set you need (forks, knives, spoon, cake sets) and the beads´colour you like and you will have a perfect match for tablecloth and food tags. These serving sets could be also a good idea for a wedding gift or - also - to personalize your own wedding. 

But more about customizing your wedding will come in a future post...

So...ready to host a memorable dinner?
