I didn't have much time to get anything fancy for decor, but let's face it. Lots of times you just have to improvise with what you have. I found a few things around the house. I moved this painting out by the table to set the mood and help us feel like we were really in an Italian restaurant.

I made some simple name cards. Name cards are an easy way to add just a little extra spice.

I love gelato! When I was in Italy, I saved a lot of the special gelato spoons for an occasion just like this. You don't have to go to Italy to get any. You can probably find a gelato shop near you. Make a date out of it and save the gelato spoons for your own dinner party! These are gelato spoons in case you didn't know what to look for:
I sent out an Evite just to add some extra flair and confirm a time.
It was simple, but the food was excellent and so was the company. Not all parties need activities or a lot of structure.
Buon Appetit!
