Fall entertaining forecast: cozy,
comfortable and outdoors
(BPT) Whether an afternoon tailgating
before the big
game or a funfilled evening
under the dazzling
autumn stars, the
forecast for this
season’s entertaining is trending
toward cozy, comfortable and outdoors.
“I think the big
lifestyle shift right
now is toward eating out less and entertaining more
at home, and autumn is the perfect
season for taking your get-togethers
outside,” says Keith Winkler, marketing manager for dinnerware giant
Replacements, Ltd. “Think about it
- the temperatures are cooling down
following our record breaking summer heat. You can have more people
at outdoor gatherings than you can
generally fit in your home. Plus,
there’s more flexibility because you
can easily have one or more set ups,

whether that means setting up tables
for dinner or having canapes and finger foods around a fire pit.”
Fall is a great season for ditching the paper and plastic and taking
your dinnerware outdoors. Tableware
industry experts say there are many
positives to introducing your “good
stuff ” to Mother Nature. It won’t blow
away like paper plates, and it’s far
more environmentally friendly than
Styrofoam.
