Tips for hosting stress free events with Tablescapery
Hosting a dinner party should be fun, relaxing, and memorable — not stressful or expensive. That’s why more hosts are turning to rental tablescapes to create beautiful, cohesive table settings without the hassle of shopping, storing, or buying.
If you’re new to renting tableware or want to elevate your next event, here are our top tips for hosting stylish dinner parties with rental tablescapes:
1. Choose a Collection That Matches Your Event Mood
Start by selecting a tablescape rental collection that fits the vibe you want. Whether it’s the earthy elegance of the Natural Collection, the minimalist charm of the Simplicity Collection, or the bold personality of the Vibrant Collection, your choice sets the tone.
2. Plan Your Guest List and Table Size Carefully
Knowing your exact guest count and table dimensions ensures your rental includes the right number of place settings and decor pieces. This helps avoid last-minute surprises and ensures a seamless setup.
3. Use your Own items to Add Personalised Charm
While we believe we have included everything you need to fill your tables with charm and functionality, you can always include items from your own home, be that a central candelabra, or flowers from the garden. Use our kit as the basis for your own individual design expression.
4. Follow the Styling Guide
If you are really unsure of item placement on table, simply copy our photos or follow this guide:
Start with the tablemats in front of your chairs. Stack the plates centrally on the table mats for each setting, place cutlery to the right hand side. Place two coasters in above the table mat, and place glassware on top. Napkins come ready folded in their napkin holders so place to the left of the plates. Decor items including candles can be arranged centrally, but don't worry too much about placement with these, spread to fill gaps in the table. For table of 8 or more, you will recieve mutiples of the water jugs and wine coolers, so your guests aren't reaching over the table. Spread these out so noone has to reach too far!
5. Keep Sustainability in Mind
One of the best parts about renting tablescapes is reducing waste. Our collections are filled with reusable items and eco-friendly packaging. After your event, simply clean, repackage, and return — easy on you, better for the planet.
6. Don’t Forget Lighting and Ambiance
Complement your tablescape with soft room lighting — fairy lights never fail to create ambiance!
7. Enjoy the Moment
Once everything’s set up, relax and enjoy your guests’ company. The beauty of rental tablescapes is that you’ve done the hard work without the clutter or commitment.
