How do you Decide on Wine Glasses for Entertaining?

How do you decide on glassware for your party?

When serving wine, you should have two sizes of wine glasses.  A large glass for red wine (the larger the better) allows you to pour about one-third full and the rest of the bowl will permit aeration of the wine.

A smaller wine glass is used for white wine so as to not allow the wine to warm up too much before it is consumed.

For your own personal use or to use during a dinner party, you might want to select larger glasses that accommodate larger pours and don't have to be refilled as often. For a large party,  event, or wine tasting party, small inexpensive glasses might be better. They will allow for smaller pours and less tipsy guests.

You might also want to consider glassware that can be cleaned in the dishwasher instead of by hand to speed up after party cleanup.

Individual Seven-Layer Mexican Dip Cups

I love, love, love Seven Layer dip and having my own cup (or two or three) is a great idea. I can finish it all without hogging the space around a large pan of it everyone is trying to get to. These would be great for a Super Bowl party or Cinco de Mayo party too.

Paper Whites Bloom for the Holidays

Beautiful Paperwhites begin to grow as soon as they are planted and fragrant flowers appear in 3-4 weeks. Unlike other Narcissus species, Paperwhite bulbs do not require chilling to promote blooming. 

Paperwhites need only 3” of root room so shallow containers will work well like shown in the photo above. Pretty glass or ceramic bowls are ideal. For one-of-a-kind presentations, scout antique stores and estate sales for unusual containers. You can plant Paperwhites in soil, glass marbles, pebbles or even tumbled beach glass.  Because these flowers are usually discarded or transplanted after they have flowered, the planting medium doesn't need to supply any nutrients for the plant.

The Party Planner by David Tutera

Leading lifestyle expert and host of Discovery Channel's popular show Party Planner with David Tutera, will help you throw an unforgettable party on an everyday budget.

Tutera's book, The Party Planner, is lavishly illustrated and shows you his approach to ten theme parties including summer and winter cocktails, a wine-tasting gathering, a harvest feast, a Christmas dessert party, a Chinese New Year celebration, and special occasions such as a birthday party for kids, a wedding proposal, and an enchanted anniversary dinner set in a forest.

Tutera urges party planners to consider the five senses when planning an event: the taste, the look, the sound, the scent and the touch.

He has thrown in his own personal suggestions of favorite songs, cocktail recipes, and other cool ideas. There are also plenty of "Tutera Tips" for invitations, entertainment, decor, room transformation, table settings, menu ideas and floral arrangements.

David demonstrates that it doesn't take a lot of money to throw an extraordinary party. With his fresh twist on entertaining, you can throw a fabulous, yet easy, affordable party for any occasion.
