11 Tips for a Guest-Impressing Hanukkah Table Setting

To create this stunning setting, we used a mix of patterned plates with a variety of patterns but all sporting similar shades of blue. Don’t be afraid to mix things up; you may even find all the items you need in your very own kitchen cupboards.

Guests will be delighted when seated before Hanukkah reminders such as gelt chocolate coins, edible sugar cookie dreidel favors and scroll-style napkins that are reminiscent of the Torah. To create this look, just fold a napkin in half, then roll both edges toward the middle. Metallic leaf ribbon is a beautiful stand-in for a napkin ring.

What’s better than a party favor? An edible party favor! Get the recipe, plus our pro decorating tips below, to whip up a batch of your own delicious dreidel cookie favors.

Formal touches, like gold flatware and fancy cocktail glasses, will look right at home mixed in with more casual elements, like mismatched dishes. Silver sequins scattered about the table add even more bling and convey a fun, celebratory atmosphere.
