Hi friends! I feel like it is totally appropriate Hi friends! I feel like it is totally appropriate to celebrate the New Year throughout January which is why I keep this table set. Do you feel like New Year's celebrations should be limited to New Year's Eve and New Year's day or carry on throught the month??

Hi friends! I am finally coming back to these squa Hi friends! I am finally coming back to these squares after some much needed time away. After Christmas, I take time off to recover from the holidays, to embark on MANY home organization projects, and spend time with my kids before they head back to school. We are back to our empty nesting again, so I am settling back into our new normal. On Thursday, I will be sharing a new post with lots of ideas of how to transition your decor from Christmas to winter. This is a tiny sneak peek of some simple ways to decorate for winter. Watch out for some upcoming stories about some of my organization projects around here. Happy New Year!!

Well...I dove deeply into the multi-day process of Well...I dove deeply into the multi-day process of taking down our Christmas decorations. What a process that is!! As some of my areas started looking "naked", I decided to take a break and bring some winter back in. To create this arrangement for a small fireplace mantel we have in our sunroom, I just walked out to my front yard and cut some large juniper branches a few yew sprays. It smells so nice in there now when come in from our two garage doors! This is a great way to decorate for winter and it not look to "Christmassy". What do you think?! When do you take your decorations down??

Hi friends! My daughter and I just squeezed in 2 1 Hi friends! My daughter and I just squeezed in 2 1/2 days to come home to Dallas to see my parents for the first time in over a year (b/c of Covid). We head back to Denver tomorrow. It has been such a perfect respite from the hustle and bustle of the holidays. After dinner, we are heading out to look at Christmas lights in Dallas...a long-time family tradition!

In the meantime, I am popping on before our dinner tonight to share with you my most favorite dinner plates of the season!

Masculine Dinner Party Ideas

As you may well know, I love reasons to celebrate and my son’s 18th birthday was no exception. Because we already have big plans for his graduation party coming up, he decided he wanted to do something small with his closest friends for his birthday. Believe it or not, he let me actually throw him a dinner party! Oh, happy day!! However, he made me promise that it would not be too fancy. Today, I am sharing the details of the table setting I created for his party and other Masculine Dinner Party Ideas.

Masculine Dinner Party Ideas

For my son’s party, we decided to serve him and his friends a seated dinner. They all love our steaks, so it was easy to get them all to attend. It was important for the table setting to work for a bunch of teenage boys…hence, the challenge…but one I was eager to tackle. Here are some ideas for creating a tablescape for the men in your lives.

1. Use masculine patterns such as plaids, check, or stripes.

These buffalo check napkins were perfect to set things off. They certainly help yield a casual look for a group of young men.

2. Feature masculine colors like browns, blacks, tans, dark blues, and greens.

Because of the buffalo check, black chargers were a natural fit. I had other black accessories that also work well with this look.

3. Stay away from flowers! Use natural greenery or plants for a centerpiece.

For this table, I used pre-packaged greenery from my local Trader Joe’s so it was super easy and inexpensive. Plus, the eucalyptus smelled so good.

The centerpiece was so easy to do. I simply weaved the greenery throughout the candle holders layering the two different types of species on top of each other.

4. Add casual or rustic elements to the table setting.

For the napkins, I used jute rope to wrap the napkins. The just also look great with the rustic nature of my dining table and provides a nice, warm contrast to all the black and white. Feathers and/or antlers would also be so nice to incorporate into a setting like this one.

5. Use simple dinnerware and “manly” glassware.

To make sure not to have any “frills” for this event, I used very clean and classic plates and bowls. My square bowls were perfect for the guy’s salads. I also used beer mugs for their drinks (non-alcoholic, of course!!) which felt very masculine to me. Copper mugs would also be a great vessel for any drink.

There are so many other occasions where you could potentially have an opportunity to entertain the special men in your life. Graduation, Father’s Day, a Retirement Party, etc. are those types of celebrations where you could incorporate some of these ideas.

Other Masculine Dinner Party Ideas

The simplicity and sleekness of this table setting is perfection! I love the use of the succulents especially and all of the exposed natural wood.

The neutral and rustic feel of this table setting are perfect for any masculine function! And, notice…no flowers! Love the fern being used here.

And, isn’t this so great for a centerpiece for your favorite guy?! I love the feathers and antlers for a nice touch of nature.

With Father’s Day right around the corner, hopefully, there are some inspirations here that can help you create your own celebration for your guys! Thank you for stopping by. It certainly helps ease the struggle I am having with my son heading off to college this fall. If your kiddos have gone off to college, I would love to hear how you processed it. Don’t get me wrong…I am super excited for his future and this amazing journey he is about to embark on BUT he is my first kiddo leaving our nest, so…
