Table Linens
Good table linens will last you forever!!
Big, big fan of this tablecloth. The pattern is classic but colorful. This will set the scene for a super fun dinner party.

If you're wanting something simple and timeless a solid color linen tablecloth is your best bet. This one comes in so many pretty colors! My only recommendation is don't do white. Most dishes are white. Get some contrast with some color.
