Elevate Details with Holiday Style

“Remember that a person’s name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language,” once said Dale Carnegie. 

Personalized place settings let your guests know how much thought you put into the place setting – and their presence. 

They will feel special from the moment they sit down.

To add some holiday glitz, opt for golden or glittered fruit forms with a handwritten place card for a special touch.

Use old family photos to help guests find their seats—and to inspire “remember when” banter.

What a great idea!
