Tasteless Tablescapes: Silver Explosion

What is the number one lesson we have learned from tablescapes over the years? Shiny is good. The more your tablescape shines, the more fun you’ll have with your dinner party. But not everyone can afford to buy a pile of silverplate table tchotchkes. Tasteless Tablescapes to the rescue!

Look at that shine! Look at that flash! Oh my. This is something that will impress your guests to no end. Stack up those rolls to create height! Vertical tablescaping adds extra interest and intrigue. And for that extra special touch that says you care? Bedazzle that place card with a silvery initial.

That cheery jack o lantern is filled with boxes of raisins to hand out. The horror, the horror.

Tasteless Tablescapes: Casino Night

What’s more fun than getting a bunch of friends together for your very own casino night? Doing it up with a Sandra Lee style tasteless tablescapes and turning your card table into a real card table. Spread those decks out! It takes so long to lay out the individual cards that you didn’t have any time to make snacks, but have no fear!

Guests love a plate full of extra cards! Stick one in the tines of the fork for a little extra something something. Tell them that the first person to get a three story house of cards built from the cards on their plate gets to buy take out for the table! They’ll be coming back every week for more casino fun.

Tasteless Tablescapes: Beach Summer Fun

Tasteless Tablescapes return! This year for Vegan MoFo I want to really concentrate on copying some of Sandra Lee’s best ideas. I found a really HOT beach themed tablescape of hers that used the super fun idea of beach towels as napkins. Towelnapkins!

They’re so big they hang right off the table. This won’t be awkward at all for your guests to use! Look at how beachy that looks! Are we having fun yet or what? For an extra good time, just put out a child’s beach pail and shovel full of BBQ sauce for each guest. Those towelnapkins will absorb any mess!
