5 Tips to Create Ambiance at your Dining Table
1. Dine by candlelight, but instead of using just 2 tall
candles on either side of the centerpiece, use 6,
8, or more candles scattered throughout the table,
or perhaps 4 or 5 candles on each side of the
centerpiece to create an atmosphere that can
be enjoyed from every angle.
2. Add battry operated lights to your centerpiece
glasses, just drop one, two or more inside the
vase that's filled with water. Battery operated
lights come in a variety of colors, these lights
come with pull out tabs or a twist on/on off switch.
Price runs about $3.00 ea at Moskatel's or look
for them online.
3. Theme your table and let it tell a story. The story
can be about your love of Teapots, Butterflies,
Peacocks, your favorite soap opera, game show,
or favorite destination, vacation or adventure
you've recently experienced.
4. Be Creative with name cards, dress them up! One
of my book club members, Liz MsSwain, once used
glued a little toy 'high heel shoe' or purse to simple
white card stock with our names printed out from the
computer for our S*x and the City Luncheon, we just
loved them!
You can use stickers, miniature toys, and for more
ideas, visit your local Michael's, Hobby Lobby, Target,
JoAnn's, to find more creative accessories to use to
dress up your place cards....and don't forget to visit

5. Consider using stretch or satin chair covers, chivari
chairs or other upscale chair to set around your
dining room table for special occasions. You can buy,
rent, chair covers, and specialty chairs -
Dazzle & Design, LLC will be happy to provide these
rental items to you and/or refer you to where you might
be able to find them.
