Matthew and I love to entertain. And we do it quite a bit. After doing so time and time again, you come to learn what the essentials are when having people over. I’ve come to realize my favorites because these are the items I reach for time and time again, no matter the event. These are not new items on the market, but they are some of the best, in my mind. Keep scrolling for my 5 favorite entertaining essentials and why!
1. 3 Tiered Buffet Server – Now, this is a versatile piece if I ever saw one. I’ve used it for cupcakes and cookies and savory items, too. You can fit tons of things on this little guy, and it’s such a pretty piece, too.
2. Decorative Cocktail Napkins – This needs no description. Pretty, fun cocktail napkins are just a MUST.
3. Three Part Rectangle Dish – I’ve had this dish forever, and I use it time and time again. Whether I put ketchup, mustard, and hot sauce in here or nuts, chocolates, and trail mix. You can fill it with anything, and I reach for it all the time.
4. Slate Cheese Boards – Cheese is my jam. I love it. I would eat it for every meal if I could (and sometimes I do #dontjudge). Hands down, these are my favorite cheese boards. I love how they look, they are the perfect size, and they are easy to clean!
5. Nambe Wine Chiller – Not just when we’re entertaining, but any time we drink wine (which is a lot…again #dontjudge), this wine chiller is used. It’s simple and modern and it gets the job done.
What are your entertaining essentials? I’d love to know! Let’s chit chat in the comments below.

Like you I love to entertain. I have 3 out of the 5 essentials you shared as your must haves (1, 3, and 4). My favorite entertaining essentials are: great serving platters and dishes, water carafes, wine glass markers, and a must have for me are votive candles. This is a great blog!
Ah yes! Love votive candles – definitely an essential. And recently I’ve been using wine glass markers – so fun and practical! Thanks for reading and I’m about to check out your blog! xo, Julie
