Choosing Accessories for Christmas Dinner

Video Transcript

"Hi! I'm Stephanie Barnett. On behalf of Expert Village, I'm here to show you how to make this gorgeous Christmas table for your Christmas dinner. Now I want to talk to you about sort of your accessories for the table as far as you'll need place card holders to put people's name tags so they know where to sit. Especially important if you're having a large group. You can put people who you don't want to sit next to you far away, so I highly recommend these. How cute are these? Little reindeer. Perfect for Christmas. You need to think about salt and pepper shakers. What is going to be appropriate or look great, or maybe you only have one set. Those are the set you're going to use. You'll need napkin ring holders. These are really festive, Christmas berries. How cute are these? Really easy to find or to make. You can make it a project with your children. You'll also need lighting. I always like to add candles. These are little tiny candles that will go low on the table, or you could use a candelabra that's going to go a bit higher on the table. With the lighting, I want you to think can I see the other person. The mistake a lot of people make is they make their centerpieces or their candles too high and you can't see the person across from you. I want you to think about all those things as you start to dress your table."
