My Hosting Essentials List from Michaels

All images are linked

If you know, you know… Michaels is one of the most underrated places to shop for hosting.

Over the years, I’ve found some of my most-used, most-complimented pieces tucked between the craft aisles and seasonal décor. The kind of items that instantly elevate a table, make a space feel intentional, and bring that effortless “hostess energy” to life.

This list is a curated roundup of my go-to finds for hosting. The pieces I reach for again and again when I’m setting the table, styling a space, or pulling together something special for guests.

Acrylic name tag holders (these are SO chic and you can use them for every dinner party!):

The most beautiful name cards - pack of 50

Acrylic tiered tray (I have two of these) if you have an appetizer/hors d'oeuvre party these are great to stack things vertically to maintain counter space - and they are beautiful while doing it!

You can use this to display a menu or something else on your table depending on theme - these are great!

The PERFECT vase for every occassion

Simpler, easy, name cards - these are just great to have on hand

Charger plates! Get them, in whatever colour works for you! And use them for every dinner party to layer your table and add interest.

Another beautiful tiered tray - if the clear isn't your style.

Everyone needs a cake tray - this one is beautiful
