Family-time Tips

Make a beautiful basket

Making garlic bread is easy. All you need is a loaf of Italian bread, a little garlic and olive oil, some melted butter and cheese baked in and you're done. Now it's time to add a simple finishing touch. Place it in a breadbasket lined with a Vanity Fair^® Napkin.

Family first

Looking to try something new? Before you serve it to dinner guests, practice on your family. You'll get to enjoy a family dinner together and get some opinions from your toughest critics.

Teach table setting

Get some cheap placemats and draw the outline of a fork, knife, spoon and napkin with a waterproof marker. It's a great way to teach your kids how to set the table.

Game day

For the kids' next soccer match, open up your playbook of good times and throw a tailgate party. Chips, dips, finger foods, sandwiches and Vanity Fair^® Napkins. It's sure to be a winner.

Low-stress Table Setting Tips

A slice of delight

When life gives you lemons, cut them into slices and make cool, refreshing glasses of lemon water. Use Vanity Fair^® Napkins as an attractive alternative to coasters when you're looking to help keep unsightly water rings off your table.

Center stage

Put a dozen apples in a bowl. It's a simple way to make a great centerpiece. Place some Vanity Fair^® Napkins nearby for snacking on the apples.

A fine way to serve wine

Enjoy a nice glass of vino with dinner? Next time you break out the corkscrew, be sure to wrap the bottle with a Vanity Fair^® Napkin first. Not only will you keep wine from dripping on that nice white tablecloth, you'll win some big points for presentation.

Famous friends

Instead of place cards with the names of your guests, cut out pictures of their celebrity look-a-likes and put them at each setting. Let the guests figure out who's who. You'll be the talk of the town.

Impromptu Get-together Tips

Globe-trot at home

Assign each guest a country and have them prepare a signature dish from that part of the world. It's a delicious way to expand your pallet and sample cuisines you haven't tried before. Before the evening takes off, have Vanity Fair^® Napkins on hand for a worldly touch.

Winter tiki party

Wait for a really dreary cold snap and break out the blender. Make tropical drinks with little umbrellas, barbecue some shrimp and make a pineapple dessert. Remember it's always summer somewhere.

What big game?

While your husband is at someone else's house eating pizza and chicken wings, invite your friends over for a ladies-only get-together.
