It helps to have some good basics to cover you for a gathering of any size: serving pieces, utensils, and drink dispensers are always helpful to have around. Be sure your hosting elements cover these criteria:
* Levels to add interest to your food display as well as maximize space
*Something to hold flowers/centerpiece, bud vases are so versatile and inexpensive to fill.
*Vessel for ice
*Drink Dispenser (ideally two, so one can be non-alcoholic)
*Serving spoons, tongs, etc. and something to rest dirty serving utensils on
*Tablecloth (both decorative, and one to protect your table from heat).
Here are some great options to fit your overall aesthetic:
Casual and Charming: probably the ideal vibe for most people.
Fun and Coastal: just a bit more casual and warmer with wood tones and some pretty blues to enhance the overall look and feel.
Outdoor and Kid Friendly: nothing on this list is breakable, so great options if you have children “helping”, or are pool/beachside where broken glass or ceramic could cause problems.
Modern and glam: For those who love gold hardware and accents.
Of course, mix and match between boards and with your current collection.
