It may be true that formal dinner parties have become passé, becoming more casual – sharing rather than ‘entertaining’ with friends and family. The holidays offer us a great reason to open our homes to a gathering – fancy or casual.
To create a welcoming atmosphere, consider your goal. Yes, you can create a formal, fine-dining, event. But you can also create a 70s-style casual gathering – come on in, sit anywhere, bring a dish to share, and … well, just enjoy!
No matter your style, at Bahoukas Antique Mall we have a variety of glassware, serving pieces, and dishes to suit every need – casual to formal. Remember, nowadays there is no need to match everything – mix and match is in. So instead of fretting over a dinner party, enjoy sharing your individuality with a fun gathering of family and friends. If you love a particular china pattern, go ahead and use it. Just remember that no one says you have to also match it with fine crystal and silverware. Instead, have fun and match it with your everyday pieces.
Maybe you have a favorite serving piece (sure – it might have been passed down to you from your great-grandmother), use it! You might even share the story of why it means so much to you.
Are you headed to someone else’s gathering? We have a few covered cake dishes to add just a bit of style!
Bottom line – enjoy the holidays in your style – casual, formal, artsy! The truly important piece is to enjoy as a guest and a host! Make it fun! Share your individuality and your stories. Happy Holidays!
Stop in today and take a peek. You know we’ll be watching for ya!
