I just watched the Martha Stewart documentary (SO GOOD) so all of these feelings about the marketing of \u201cperfectionist domesticity\u201d are popping up (as shown above). Did she create an industry that stresses out already stressed-out parents? Am I a part of the problem? Probably\u2026 But it sure is fun to have your home look pretty and a lot of people feel extreme joy setting a table. We are in the \u201cfamily frat party\u201d era where Easter is more \u201cEggs and Kegs\u201d. We eat outside and this room becomes the de facto craft room for 12 kids (before we had the crafting shed). As an Enneagram 7, I like to be at my own party, not working it. But we all get fulfilled in different ways, so if you are a more dinner party person, here is some inspo for you \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n For our Easter \u201cEggs and Kegs\u201d, we have a multi-family potluck with a big egg hunt, pony keg (and wine), a store-bought honey-baked ham on Hawaiian rolls, with a robust mustard and pickle bar. It\u2019s all outside, with tons of kids running around, paper plates and everyone brings food and serves themselves \u2013 very old school potluck. I don\u2019t decant the mustards into bowls or label a thing (nor do I remember to take photos or post about it because I\u2019m too busy having fun). I usually put out vintage floral tablecloths, baskets, and pastel servingware (because I\u2019m a hoarder and need to use my pretty things), and throw Trader Joe\u2019s tulips in vases\/jars everywhere. It\u2019s a lot of work just cleaning the house, TBH, but I literally stop caring about how it looks after the first guest arrives, knowing that an hour later it will all be messy and wonderful. (Hot Life Tip \u2013 keep expectations low and casual and it\u2019s hard to disappoint:))<\/p>\n So why am I showing you this pretty tablescape? Because I have great partnerships where I get to style out my home and lean into a different side of myself to show inspiration. It\u2019s so much fun and I would buy everything here if I were a dinner party lady. So we snapped some photos for the blog while we were shooting the social campaign as inspiration \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Placemats | Napkins | Dinner Plates | Bowls | Flatware | Wine Glasses | Water Glass | Glass Striped Candlestick Holders | Glass Bud Vases | Floral Platter<\/p>\n All of the above is from Anthropologie (some pieces I\u2019ve had for a while now \u2013 like the glassware and the flatware). I think some of the standout pieces are those placemats (instant impact), the glass candleholders look like handblown Italian glass (look at the stripes and in three different heights), and if I were to register for fancy plates now I would get these floral plates and platter \u2013 they are so whimsical and special (I\u2019ll bring out the platter for Easter for sure). The colored wine glasses are excellent (and the shorter ones are easier to drink from). I was also really surprised by how easy the tulips were to style in these pastel glass bud vases (which isn\u2019t usually my move \u2013 I like big, foraged arrangements).<\/p>\n Maybe this will be the year I snap some iPhone shots of the mustard\/pickle bar\u2026 Miracle Whip and all (that is if we aren\u2019t still under construction in the backyard \ud83d\ude42 All in all, if you love pulling out your best dishware and cooking a three-course Easter dinner, DO IT!!! If you are like me, might I suggest ordering a big honey-baked ham, 2 packs of Hawaiian rolls, 9 different types of pickles, and mustards, and be prepared for a post-Easter Sunday gut bust.<\/p>\n Here are some more pretty Spring\/Easter\/Sedar tabletop options we found if you are interested in adding some new life to your table. Like I said, I love the creativity of setting up a whole tablescape but also there\u2019s so much power in a little festive pop of color or pattern. There\u2019s no need to have a different set of dishes, cups, flatware, etc for each and every holiday (unless you want to of course). A little can go a long way.
