Since grilling is no mess and no fuss, we’ve come up with an easy table setting to throw together in no time. First, choose a tablecloth to drape over your outdoor table. Burlap and linen are cost-effective and natural looking. Next, choose any two colors (or more) as your theme, and plan the rest of the décor around them. We chose orange and yellow paper plates in different sizes to function/serve as a charger and a dinner plate. You could use place mats instead of chargers or simply position plates directly on the tablecloth. We also chose plastic glasses that look as clean and clear as crystal but are safe to use outdoors. Loosely tie utensils together with a small ribbon for extra detail and another pop of color. For a special touch that takes just minutes, fill mini flowerpots with pebbles or soil and add a tiny windmill in coordinating yellow and orange. We’ve designed a place card to attach to the windmills so guests can easily find their spot at the table. It’s simple and quick but makes a big impression on guests.

Finally, spruce up the table a bit more with fresh flowers in brightly colored pots to add a sweet smell and complete the inviting atmosphere. And don’t forget how easy cleanup will be!
