Christmas Table Setting on a Budget

Hi, I'm Jennifer with Jennifer Decorates, and if you're having a holiday get-together and you're looking for affordable Christmas table setting ideas, then stay tuned. For my Christmas table setting theme this year, I went with black and gold. Extremely elegant. Cool thing is, everything on my table came from either Walmart, Target, or Hobby Lobby, and I added real greenery in the middle of the table that I got from my own backyard. I'm going to show you a picture of the entire table, and then we're going to go through and talk about each little piece and how I put everything together. For my place setting, I got a gold charger and a black charger, and I found this one that's just a little bit smaller than the gold, so it paired perfectly. Then, white plates with silver rim from Walmart. These plates were from Walmart, and they have gold and silver stars on them. Their salad plate placed right on top of the dinner plate, and then a black napkin set from Walmart, and gold napkin rings from Walmart. Let me show you a really easy way to put your napkin into your napkin ring. Take your napkin and lay it out flat. Pinch it up in the middle, and then slide it through the ring and lay it on your plate. I found these beautiful little gold fruit cups from Target, and then these plates with an adorable little Christmas tree, silver and gold were from Walmart. I love to make place cards at my table setting, and this one I used a black cardstock, and then I found a gold pen and wrote the name, and then I got some glittery leaves and I hot glued them on the corner for a little bit more of an elegant look. And to kind of help my handwriting stay neat, I write in all caps, and if you look really closely, after I write them in all caps, I'll make little lines where each place ended on the letter, and it just makes it look a little bit neater. I found two gold deer at Target. I picked some greenery from the backyard and nestled it around the deer. In the very center of the table, I found a gold mirror at Hobby Lobby, and I added three glass candlesticks to them. Let me show you something I did. These candlesticks are all different heights, and I found a box of miniature ornaments in gold and black, a Hobby Lobby find, and then I ran gold ribbon through them and tied them onto the candlesticks. Now I did have trouble getting them to stay on there, so I just added a dab of hot glue. I hope you found some of these ideas helpful. I'm Jennifer with Jennifer Decorates.
