More Cool Fall Entertaining Ideas

Today we bring you even more cool ideas for fall entertaining.  As we often say, it's the little details that count, and just one cool detail can really make your event a success.

Here are 4 more cool entertaining ideas that you can use at your gatherings this fall, or whenever.

  • Buy three stackable tier stands to stack (available at Bed, Bath, and Beyond and department stores) and stack them, or at least stack two of them, and put your hors d'oeuvres, soup or beverage shooters, or little desserts or candies on them.  Use as a centerpiece.  People serve themselves off of these stacked tiers. Refill as necessary.  Note: this idea is not appropriate for parties where kids might knock over the tier stands.
  • If you will be having a seated dinner or luncheon with several tables, you can decant white or rosé wines into clear glass bottles or carafes so people can serve themselves--often guests prefer this as it saves them waiting for a server or host/ess to serve them more wine as well as being a great icebreaker at the guest tables
  • An easy and harvest-y centerpiece is to fill a bowl, preferably footed, or an urn, with fall purple grapes and yellow fall fruits (if this complements your other decor, of course).
  • Even just one really cool bar accessory adds the wow factor to your party--A butler-shaped cocktail shaker (Lenox) or oversize martini or cocktail glasses (just one per bar, and available from companies like Royal Doulton or Oneida) make a cool, fun statement.  You can even fill an oversize martini or cocktail glass with candies or nuts.

Enjoy!
