friday freebie ~ dinner party set

This has been one of my aims from day dot – sharing.

So every now and then, (I shan’t be to ambitious and say every week) I will have a Friday freebie. Something you can download and use yourselves – or stow away for that day that you need it. (It’s not perfect but it’s free)

And this first one – all you’ll need for a dinner party: invitations, placecards, a menu and some recipe cards to give to your guests if you feel like sharing your favourite recipe.

It is autumn here – so I am thinking more of an autumnal theme. The season is perfect for dinner parties. Cooler weather but not too nasty, lending itself to warming stews and red wine. I imagine these printed out on ivory stock.

The placecards go with the Avery business card kit 32016 or you can print them out on A4 and just cut them up. The menus print two to an a4 sheet and the invites four to an A4 sheet. I have put tiny cut marks at the very edges to guide you. I have included a menu header as a jpg for you to use if you are a bit handy with Microsoft Word then you can type your own menu.

For some decorating ideas:

From Martha Stewart Tie the stems of two or three dried leaves along a strand of cord, then affix a heavy bead to the bottom to weight it. Repeat to make several cords, and carefully tie them to the chandelier.

Search “autumn table” for a host of other Martha ideas.

One of my favourites, Donna Hay has selection of autumnal recipes and styling tips here.

Feedback more than welcome – if something doesn’t work for you, LET ME KNOW and I will (attempt to) fix it. Or if you have any ideas, a slight modification or whatever, comment or email me.
