Have you saved countless videos of people hosting brunches, game-day parties or dinner nights with friends, and you want to host your own but are not sure where to start? No matter your experience, become the host with the most using our tips. With the help of Maine Lobster, we’ll show you how fancy can be made simple.
Setting the Stage
A lot of the hosting starts before the meal prep even begins. Uplevel your dinner party with Maine Lobster and make your event more authentic with these essentials:
Lobster-themed décor can be found at countless Maine businesses, like this painted lobster appetizer plate from Island Institute, these Maine Lobster napkins from the Down East Shop, a fun variety of houseware items from Island Institute and these organic double lobster tea towels from Lisa Marie’s. Check out these businesses to bring the feeling of Maine right to your dinner table.
Music is what really helps with the ambience of the party. From Maine by Noah Kahan to Dog Years by Maggie Rogers to Wildflower by Wilfred, there are many tunes inspired by Maine. Add these to your hosting playlist to really set the coastal mood.
Bold tablescapes set the tone for the party. From coastal vibes to a Maine Lobster aesthetic, get inspired about ways you can add a touch of Maine to your dinner party.
