Folding Tables

Folding Tables for Indoor and Outdoor Dining

Love to host but lack the space? Folding tables make it easy to convert rooms and outdoor areas in minutes from cocktail hour to sit down dining. To create an open area perfect for appetizers and mingling, start by setting up a rectangle or oval table on the side of your room. Next, fill the surface with refreshments and hors d'oeuvres for guests to snack on as they mingle before the meal. Finger foods including a crudite platter or cheese plate are easy starters that require minimal clean up. Then, clear away drink dispensers and appetizer dishes to get ready for the main course. For an efficient transition, consider serving your meal buffet style. As guests clear out and head to the kitchen to make their plates, you will have an opportunity to unfold your table and bring in chairs. Additionally, guests will bring their own dinnerware, drinkware and napkins over from the buffet, saving you time setting the table. Next, dress your table in a tablecloth and table decor, such as candles or a vase filled with fresh flowers, to set the ambiance for dinner. Looking to hold your event outdoors? Bring flip top tables out after cocktail hour to transform your yard into a great outdoor dining space. Or, opt for shorter tables and set them up in the grass picnic style. Place outdoor pillows around the sides and drape coordinating table linens over top. When the sun goes down, set up a screen or sheet between trees in your yard to project a movie for your friends and family.
