How to class up yo' table



Sometimes I see blog posts and think, dang, is that really a blog topic? But heck, I guess that's the beauty of blogging, you can post whatever you want because it's the internet. heck, if a cat playing the piano can get 4 million views, my BS can too.

When I had the choir brunch a few weeks ago, I fancied up my napkins and while I was doing it, I thought, let me take some pictures of this in case I need a blog post one day. Then I sat on it for a while and wondered if anyone would really care. But heck, I write about things that only 3 people care about all the time, why should this be any different?

So here it is, how to class up your table when you have guests. 

Let's say you have a large group of people coming over and you need to set out napkins. Cause you're fancy and stuff and instead of setting a roll of paper towels out on the table, you bought some of the "premium" napkins. While they're nice, it's hard to separate them and a plain ole stack of white napkins isn't exactly "stylin".  Now you can fancy this -ish up!

1. Take 'yo stack of plain ass white napkins.


2. Make a fist and punch it in the center of the boring napkin pile.


3. Start twisting your fist while pressing into the pile of napkins. Look at them start to spread!


Keep pressing and twisting.


Until your pile looks like this!


You can also use a glass for the same effect, but then I'd have to get a glass and put it away. All about efficiency folks!

And that's how you can class up yo' table.

  1. My stack never looks like that. EVER. Also, I'm not classy. So problem solved, lol.

  2. Now all you need is rigatoni, stuffed cabbage, fried chicken & ranch veggie pizza bars and you're ready for a traditional Western PA Hunky Party. Oh! And a firehall too!

    1. It sounds like a wedding reception! Kev didn't understand the concept of the "fire hall reception" with fried chicken, rigatoni and a cookie table. We did have cookie trays at our reception. :)

  3. Haha love this! A friend of mine showed me this trick years ago when she was helping me set up for a party and now I do it every time! The first time she showed me I was like "Mind. Blown." :)
