Cheers! (One Table, Three Ways)

I'm back again with another party setup! This week I'm featuring a series of tables that I styled to fit a certain theme. I used the same base components for each setting, (placemats, plates, silverware and a "menu") and then added things from around my house to make the look fit the theme I had in mind. The goal was to create something that would be easy to replicate, but could also be used as inspiration for something better!

This table was created with a group of guys in mind. I kept the decorations simple and masculine, while still adding some quirky touches.

The "centerpiece" is just a variety of beers and brews that I pulled out of the fridge. Obviously you'd want to us this as a sort of sample and keep plenty of cold drinks on hand. If you can serve the brews in a chilled stein it's extra awesome. Just throw the glasses in the freezer and grab one out whenever you pour a new drink. Practical? Not really. Cool? Heck yeah. One could even say its... ice cold. (Hardy har...)

I used bar towels instead of napkins, because if you're going to have beer, you will eventually need some heavy duty cleaning supplies.  I also substituted the traditional glasses for beer steins.

While favors can be a cheesy concept, I couldn't help but add a little bit of quirk to the table. The mustache tattoos add a subtle bit of fun, and the bottle opener is a practical and affordable gift that they can take home.

How hilarious is it that that beer is called "Big Butt"? My friend showed it to me one day and I couldn't get over it. I guess I'm still a twelve year old on the inside.

We've got one more quirky table left to go. I hope you're enjoying this series as much as I enjoyed making it!
