Silver in the Home: Entertaining


Caring for your Silver | Silver Entertaining | Silver Jewelry | Silverware and Table Settings

Use your silver everyday! Entertaining- whether casual or formal- is the perfect opportunity to use your silver. Sterling silver adds elegance to any occasion and the frequent use of sterling actually reduces tarnish and helps it to develop a glow or patina, which enhances its beauty.

Tea Time

Something’s brewing. Afternoon tea. This age-old tradition is a civilized and delicious way to conduct business, entertain friends, and honor guests. From a cozy tea-for-two to a gathering of many family and friends, the ritual of afternoon tea is once again being embraced as a popular venue for at home entertaining.

Cocktails

The cocktail party is creating a stir on the home front. Unlike the intimate dinner affair, the cocktail party is less formal, more in tune with today’s casual attitude, yet the flavor is pure luxe. Several ingredients for your cocktail party may include silver cocktail shakers, trays, hors d’oeuvre servers, picks and ice buckets.

Holidays

Sterling silver is an important part of the holiday season. It adds shine to a tabletop, serves as the perfect gift and complements festive and glamorous holiday attire. You can create a winter wonderland by dusting the table with artificial snow and decorating it with silver candlesticks. Combine festive green and red candles and a glitter of ornaments. Let your own creativity make for a party that dazzles. Go silver for sparkle.
