Say ‘welcome’ with a cinematic snack table

Get your guests in the spirit of the night with a theater-worthy spread, like this one styled by entertaining pro Laura Russell (Makelifelovely.com). To get the look, hang a gold sparkly tablecloth on a wall and drape two red cloths on either side. Top the table with a gold sparkly cloth and push against the wall. Add trays and cake stands filled with mini cups of mousse, popcorn boxes, gold-wrapped candies and a cake. Add even more flair with gold statuettes (like Movie Buff Centerpiece, $ 5, Orientaltrading.com) and a craft-store chalkboard sign.
