will you STAY FOR DINNER?

The Game Plan

Give guests permission to play with their food by pulling board games from the cupboard (or go hunt for secondhand finds) and re-creating the fun of family game night. Position a game board as the focal point of your arrangement. Here, a wooden chessboard anchors a textured glass charger and speckled white plates. Napkins, glassware, and cutlery in a classic Christmas palette of reds and greens accent the neutral pieces. Pile faux or fresh greenery and ornaments atop stackable blocks, and sprinkle in other game pieces to deliver one seriously interactive setting.

THE MOST MEMORABLE TABLESCAPES ARE A LITTLE OF THIS, A LITTLE OF THAT, AND A WHOLE LOT OF PERSONALITY. PAIR THRIFTED FINDS WITH HANDMADE DECOR FOR A ONE-OF-A-KIND DISPLAY.
