I love to socialize and gather with friends…in a city
like New York, the options of restaurants, bars and lounges are endless.
However doing these bitter cold months, who really feels like bundling up,
bracing the fierce wind and going out? I
know I don’t! But I’m always up for a
small gathering at home for game night, watching a movie or simply just
drinking and gabbing!
For us city dwellers entertaining can be challenging, but
don’t let a small space stifle your style!
Here are a few tips
to help you host the perfect winter gathering within a confined space.
Guest List
• Keep the guest list small – anywhere from 5 – 15 people.
Décor & Colors
• Keep it simple and elegant with durable white dinnerware
or decorative paper plates.
• Accent your dining décor with colorful napkins, flowers
and candles.
• If you have an array of colorful dinnerware, mix and
match them! Select flowers and candles in one common color to tie it all
together.
• Serve food buffet style as opposed to a sit down dinner.
• Entertain with heavy appetizers and finger foods making it
easier for your guests to eat and mingle while standing.
• Spread out the drinks in different corners so people will
not congregate in one spot.
• Add floor pillows for extra seating.
• Push your dining table against the wall to serve as a
buffet table, add a few coffee. tables next to the dinning table to hold silver
ware, plates or other food items.
• Empty a few shelves on your book case to make room for
appetizer platters.
