As a frustrated theater major in college I fell into food & beverage and ultimately became a caterer. My dinner tables are my stage. I have dishes, serve ware and glassware for every holiday! I truly enjoyed this episode and took such joy in knowing you are an artist with the tablescape! Bon appetit!

ugh i cannot express how much i love this show it needs more attention. i've learned so much from it. also fun fact my mother always served french style and only brought out the desert separately, which was her way of keeping her energy so she could entertain guests more happily. maybe out of style but its always an option if you think having a course meal is too intimidating at first!

Half the fun of having guests for dinner is setting the table, I love it. I've been married forever so I can usually shop my own home and decorate without buying anything 😀👍🏻 loved this video. I never let people help with dishes either, they came over to relax and have fun. Hugs to you and Leonard from Pennsylvania 👵🏻

OMG. . . I started watching this video and thought, this woman is definitely off the wall. I doubt if I'll even watch it to the end. Did you prove me wrong! I was howling as your wonderful and dry sense of humour continued to captivate me. . . along with your assured opinion on what you like and don't like. I can definitely see you in theatre. Anyhow, Randi, I'm hooked. I've just subscribed. Anticipating watching more of your vlogs. Thanks, Darryl

Always a pleasure to see new content, Randy! This one was right on the money. So many have no idea how to set the table for a dinner party. Keep it simple....excellent advice! And so with you on the napkin rings! I had probably 2 dozen and years ago I just stopped using them. They added an extra step to set the table and my guests had one more thing to futz with. I had more things to gather, maintain and store. Done with the rings. They went to the charity shop. On the lilies...Asiatics have little to no smell. Orientals will make your house smell like a funeral parlor. There is a big difference. As with your butcher and fishmonger, cultivate a relationship with a good florist. They love repeat customers and can clue you in on inexpensive options that have great visual impact and guide you on the stinkers. A good source of flatware are consignment shops. I know most people want ease of maintenance, but if you have a good eye and don't mind a bit of polishing, you can score beautiful silver-plate for very little cash. Stainless too, if you just can't bear polishing silver. Thanks Randy!

LOVE DPT! Also, I want to mention that you can get tons of white, plain dishes at the Dollar Tree! I've gotten almost all of my dishes there, and the best part is if you break/chip a piece, you can go and buy just one! You don't have to always buy a whole set.

"It's Magic" ! 😂I totally agree with you , which is why I HATE OPEN KITCHEN PLANS!!! AGHH!! When we were building our home in Austin, we were constantly being bombarded by comments on how great the OPEN KITCHEN plan was. Nope. I don't want all my dirty dishes and the evidence of all my cooking efforts on display for everyone to see. Nooooo...I like the mystery involved in giving a dinner party. The Magic of how all this wonderful food appeared before my guests, prepared with love just for them to be enjoyed on a special evening. So, I wish home builders could understand that not everyone likes this layout for a home. I love a large kitchen with a SEPERATE dining room. So nice. Thanks for all the great tips. So appreciated. Love from Texas!!❤️
