5 Tips for Hosting
an At-Home Book Club
The arrival of spring means a slew of social events.
Take an evening off from going out and invite friends over instead.
Inspired by the Chinet® Brand, we’re showing you how to plan.
1
SCHEDULE
(BUT DON’T
OVER-SCHEDULE)
Allotting 30 minutes
for socializing and light
bites, an hour for book
discussion, and time for
dessert will help things
fl ow smoothly. As the
host, you should steer,
but don’t feel glued
to a rigid schedule. If
guests are having fun
catching up, let that
run long.
2
PICK A
FESTIVE THEME
Selecting a seasonal
theme, or even one
with a connection
to the book you’re
reading, helps to add
an unexpected twist
your guests will love.
Try focusing on spring
— the cheerful vibe and
soft color palette off er
endless decorating
inspiration.
3
PLAN A
LIGHT MENU
Choose foods that
are easy to carry and
eat over conversation.
Think assorted cheese
and charcuterie for
the start of the get-to-
gether, and desserts
like macarons and mini
cupcakes for the end.
Off er wine and non-
alcoholic options like
sparkling water.
4
SET THE
BUFFET TABLE
Book clubs are casual,
so rather than feeling
the need to host a
sit-down dinner, set
up a buff et instead.
You’ve already
selected your theme,
now make it come
to life with cheerful
fl oral arrangements
and stacks of
beloved books.
5
SERVE FOOD
AND SIMPLIFY
CLEANUP
No gathering is
complete without the
Chinet® Cut Crystal®
Collection. Whether
you’re enjoying a piece
of cake or a splash of
sparkling water, this
perfectly portable as-
sortment of disposable
plates, cups and
cutlery has an ease

out of serving.
