Your table setting for both buffet and formal were so beautiful, I'd love a more in depth video of how you put together your tablescapes 💚👌
Now all I need is friends who want to attend and host their own formal dinner parties
I bet your friends would want to attend if you planned one! People love being invited to things, it makes them feel accepted and wanted.
My daughter when she was two once said she liked something she did 'lasterday night'. She is in her 40's now and we still refer to last evening as lasterday night. Also I love your videos especially when you are sitting in front of the longhorn pic...and the horns seem to be coming off your head. I always laugh at how cute it looks! Only you can pull off horns honey and look beautiful! Thanks for the dinner party advice...it was all spot on!
Haha! In Spanish there's actually a word for that - "anoche", which is like "ayer" (yesterday) + "noche" (night).
Just be careful if you have any mexican guests. It's not great in this culture.
Pintrest-y may not be a real word but its definitely in use! I'm a Pintrest-oholic! 😝
Same!! Thanks for watching love!
Pinterest is my interior designer
You are going to have a blast planning children's birthday parties when the time comes! Great video! Enjoy your day!
Absolutely love this video and amazing advice Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦
Cool ideas! I love this video. I am looking forward to hosting a dinner party tomorrow. I think I’m ready!!! Wish me luck, y’all!
💕loved this thanks
Thanks, now I'm in the mood for party! :)) have a great time in Italy!

Your mom taught you well. TFS Sharrah.

Thank you for this video!
Sounds great. 😉👍💟
I love your work. Great content!!
The eucalyptus with the white and gold tables cape is beautiful! Great tips....I really need to work on getting music playlists together....I often resort to a dinner party music station on pandora lol 🙈
loved this!
love it !! great ideas
Fun video! Can you do a "How to host a holiday open house." 💟
1. Consider the Guest List. 2. Entertainment according to the type of guests you are inviting. Conversation, indoor games, board, movie, makeover etc. It is not only about dinner but the whole evening. 3. Decide Menu. Ask if they have any allergies. 4. Layout. Chic , fun , rock you decide. 5. Ambiance. Candle, flowers, light, temperature. Playlist. 6. Seating arrangement. Casual, floor seating. 7. Plate setting. Make some difference with name cards, beautifully plate setting, chicy brand for disposibles.
I just love that you have antlers the whole time haha ♥️🥰
So helpful!!
So cool 💕
I always liked the term “pin-spired” 📌
Great tips Sharrah! You’re adorable 😉!!!!!
Great topic!
Great suggestions!
Thank you for watching! I hope these tips help you out for your next dinner party!
HomeGoods has really nice designer paper plates also.
Great ideas! I love the blush pillow, where from?
Loved this video! Can you do one about how to build a tablescape? I need new ideas!
yess
Yes. Autumn tablescape. Without wretched pumpkins everywhere; not everyone has access to piles of pumpkins...
@@alixnorman7389 use pine cones and fruits
Agreed!

This isn't one word but I always say "ugly eat". When my husband isn't home I ugly eat Taco Bell in my bed with my burrito resting on my chest while I dip it into my nacho cheese dip...you guys get it. haha!
Left right center is fun, with quarters
I luv that blush rug look cushion !!! May I ask where you purchased it from?
Loved this video. Let me know if you ever get tired of your black and white longhorn print. I’d loved to buy it from you.
Love the video. Where is the marble serving board from? I love that it has feet.
Monday + Murphy's Law = MurphDay. I usually refer to Monday as "MurphDay" because anything that can go wrong will usually go wrong on Monday. 😂 And Pinteresty is totally a real word!
Could you do a video on the serving wear that you use for a dinner party?
Love your dining table and chairs!! Where are they from???
Hi, I love your couch can you please tell me where did you get it from?
Where is your dinning table set from? I am in love with it :)
I like
Where do you shop? do you have a capsule wardrobe you alwys look so put together and adorable, classic.. and COMFY all at the same time... serious goals
Whenever someone says dinner party it reminds me of that episode on the Office 😂😂😂
I need Rebeca in youtube come back my favorite decor
“It wasn’t my fault” 😂😂😂 nice disclaimer
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️‼️
You seriously remind me of Emma Roberts!!!!
Right???
So much easier to just get people in to do it!
Where is your floor cushion from? Ive been looking for something just like it!
I love your video! How old were you when you found your love for interior design?
Yay thank you for watching!! My love for interior design started at a pretty young age since I was always around my mom who had such a passion for it, but then I was able to find the different areas I loved and could make it my own!
I absolutely LOVE your coffee table!! Where is it from!?
JuliaCellist we made it! kzhead.info/sun/g9Z_ps2mnXqbfYk/bejne.html
Where is the best place to find eucalyptus I love seeing it in your designs. I used the word glassables so much as a kid my grandpa named his stained glass business that. Now I use the word with my kids.
You're so funny
Can you please tell me from where can I get the cushion the red-pink one in the first minute
Where are your PJs from? Thanks
💖❤️🧡💛🐶💚💙💜
How big are your dinner parties? I usually not up for hosting parties because of the size of our place. its about 700sqft which i think you mention your place is 500sqft but your place looks effortlessly roomy! How do you deal with that on group for about 15- 20 people?
First view
Anyone else jamming out to the dubstep in the background lol
My word: some families have knick knacks, others have tchotchkes...in my house, they are known as crap-knacks.
7:37 me :)))))))))
Good ideas------- And remember to not use scented candles on the dining table----interferes w/ aroma of the tasty food!
Where is your dining table / chairs from.
west elm
Guesstimate is my word, not sure if it's real but it sure doesnt sound like it is haha
Your cute
Skip to 1:45
My word? Adulty. I.e. I ran so many errands today, I'm being super adulty.
I can't find the playlist 😕
u look like Emma Roberts
When you said “I’m sharrah” 🧐 me realizing it’s not Emma Roberts 😮
Is it ok to put a banner "please leave by 9pm" my family loves coming too late & leaving late.😖😒
KLongares my brothers friends are really guilty of this, my mum put a photo frame up with a sign in it saying 'Due to life, please leave by 11pm and take your trash with you'. I completely recommend doing something similar and aimed more towards your family than the sign we had which was mostly for 18yr old boys.
@@ashb7487 👍👍
I love this comment 😄
How many time did she say "you guys" this time
She also said you’re trying to burn the house down with those candles [dangerously placed] next to the books.
I wonder who made up the word thing-a-ma-jing. For you know things you don't know the name of. LOL
I have loved you channel and I would die if you responded
I play this at 1.5x speed 😅😅😅
How do you have white furniture with your dog ?
Great ideas. Unfortunately, the dinner party has gone the way of the dinosaur due to the proliferation of self-imposed dietary restrictions. If you have allergies, I'll accommodate that of course, or if I know you're vegetarian, I'll make sure you have options, but I'm not catering to 12 different diets.
Karen74 Lmfaooooo 😭😂😭😂😭preach
R your marage me
"Nowadays, people are allergic to stuff!" No honey, nowadays people who are allergic to stuff survive infancy.
My husband calls me an “exaggerist“ lol
I always say “jagalooned up” whenever i mess up badly or jokingly
I want you to be my date at every dinner party
Where is rebbeca
My sister said there were too many adjectives for her to digest. Too many.
We don’t wear shoes in our home, is it rude to ask guests to take their shoes off?
I don't think it is, but I would warn them in advance. Because I'm still young, I still manage to get away with mass texting family or house etiquette to friends and family who aren't aware. With my more formal friends and family that might be uncomfortable about something, I call and talk to them in advance to make sure they can feel comfortable.
You don’t have AC??
No it is the worst, but it is hopefully cooling down now that it is fall! Thank you for watching girl!
I’m in Florida I would melt like Frosty the snowman without A/C!!!
Hello , where did you get your bench chair ? the grey you use to add more seats to your dining table. I like it alot thanks
I live in Texas... We could never get away with that. I wish we could that would save so much money!
Maybe you can do a "how to stay cool with no ac" video?
Video starts at 1:45
So how many of these dinner party's have you actually had your self?????I'm mean experience is knowledge!!!
the background music is too loud I barely understand you
My fish fry is my dinner party. They only show up, because it's great seafood. I decorate the tables and serve lots of cocktails. No one wants to dress up or eat off china. We are tired, busy and on a budget.
Who washes all those dishes if you don't have housekeepers?
Did I miss a pregnancy update video?
I think it might just be the flow of the outfit.
Very inconsiderate and rude question
She’s not pregnant, she’s been drinking wine at Italy and also they said they don’t want babies yet.
@@marlenadesmet4907 why? Is it bad to be pregnant?
@@HAquitaniaFE it's not bad to be pregnant but if a woman is going through fertility issues, that's a question that just kills them. It's just a question you should never ask someone
way too much chatter
Put a pizza card? Really for pizza? It should be obvious when it's pizza...
This is impossible to watch.
I enjoy your videos but what is really hard for me to watch is to see how much waste you must go through. I am very eco friendly and it hurts my heart to see all the waste (mostly plastic) going on in so many of your videos. :(
Seriously you spend 2 whole Minutes whining - please get to the point
Annoying Af
