Upscale Disposable Tableware, A Blog

An outdoor pool party is one of the best ways to enjoy summer!  A huge part of any gathering is the food and presentation.  Using shatterproof drinkware and convenient hinged containers from Fineline Settings will make it easier to entertain your guests.  Keep the fun going with these smart serving choices! 

With excited kids running around and I guess adults too, it’s a great idea to use shatterproof drinkware.  There’s no stress about cleaning up broken glass if accidents happen.  These beautiful hurricane glasses are ideal for serving a summery drink.  

This frosty glass looks so refreshing on a hot summer day.  You can serve any fruity drink in this and it would look as good as it tastes.

These stemless champagne flutes can make even water look elegant.  Here, we filled them with lemonade and garnished with mint and lime slices.  

If you want a shorter glass, the 12 oz stemless goblets are great for serving a fruity drink.  We filled ours with lemonade and mixed berries to keep with the flavors of summer.  

I like how the natural color of the drink and fruit pieces show through the clear glass.  They look so pretty and refreshing!

Swimming can really work up an appetite.  Using hinged containers to serve food makes it easier for your guests to carry to their table.  The 6x6” container is the right size for a side dish like a healthy salad.  The rolled cutlery is great for pool safety since it’s wrapped.  We didn’t forget the Kraft paper straws for the drinks. 

The 9x9” square hinged container is ideal for hamburgers and piling on the curly fries.  They also work great for a salad entrée or loaded nachos.

For serving foods that need to be separated, the 8x8” square container with 3 sections is perfect.  The sections kept our food from turning into a berry chicken wing salad.  

We chose a summery strawberry trifle in stemless mini goblets to round out our poolside meal.  They look so adorable and delicious in these small individual cups!

Make it easy to host an outdoor pool party with partyware from Fineline Settings.  The shatterproof drinkware, wrapped utensils, and hinged lid containers are great for safety and convenience purposes.  The beautiful quality of them also make food more exciting and appealing.  Treat your guests to a delicious and refreshing pool party this summer!  

It’s that time when years of school lead up to one day - graduation!  We can all agree it’s worth celebrating whether that’s graduation from high school or higher education.  Besides the graduate, we all know the other important part of a gathering is the food, of course!  Fineline Settings has several caterware options to display beautiful platters and beverages for your guests to enjoy!

First of all, I really like how these platters and tiny plates come with a lid.  They keep the food fresh until it’s time for refreshments.  Come along with me as we go through this spread together!

These biodegradable sectioned plates are great for keeping your food separate, making cleanup easy, and being earth friendly. The cutlery kits are conveniently prepackaged for sanitation and also makes it easier for guests to move through the line.

Beside the plates, we used 3”x3” tiny trays and lids for individual portions of pigs in a blanket.  They look so cute and elegant in these containers.  We used a couple of large clear bowls for a salad to go along with them.  For something sweet, we used a rectangular platter for cookies.  Since it’s a graduation party, we made mini diplomas by tying ribbons around rolled cookies.

These large round platters are great for sweet or savory foods.  Here, we served cupcakes topped off with graduation caps made by piping yellow tassels onto white chocolate squares.  They look so sweet and elegant on this round white platter.

We also used another round white platter to serve our sandwiches.  I like how the white platter makes the parchment wrapped sandwiches look fresh and tasty.

We used a couple more rectangular trays for serving a variety of fruits.  Cutting them into hearts and flowers makes them more special since they are competing with cupcakes.

These mason jars are a delicious way to serve your drinks.  I like how the lids come with a hole for a biodegradable straw.  We made them more cheerful by adding a gold tassel to each one.  For some reason, strawberry lemonade tastes much better out of these jars.

We used these beautiful carafes with lids to bottle up extra strawberry lemonade.  I like how they are clear and make the drinks look refreshing.  We kept the carafes on standby in a nice oval ice bucket.

We completed our table with white and green floral arrangements.  Fresh flowers are always the perfect accent for a special occasion!

Graduation is an exciting time for a student and it needs to be celebrated!  Get creative and serve their favorite foods on beautiful partyware to make it extra special.  Make your graduation celebrations easy, gorgeous, and memorable with quality products from Fineline Settings!  Congrats to all the graduates this year!

JULY IS ICE CREAM MONTH - SUNDAE BAR 🍨

Summer is here and an outdoor sundae bar goes perfectly with hot weather!  By being outside, family and friends can still have small gatherings and practice social distancing as we overcome this crazy time.  There’s so much life happening during the summer like graduations, engagement parties, birthday parties, and other important milestones that call for a sundae celebration.  Half the décor is done when you use beautiful partyware from Fineline Settings to display the food.  A sherbet sundae bar is not only tasty, but the delicious colors are perfect for a summer party!

For the table, I used a light yellow tablecloth to compliment the sherbet colors.  To make it more inviting and fun, I used a “sundae bar” garland across the front.  I also was lucky to have a florist handpick fresh sherbet colored peonies to make the table extra special.

Then, I stacked three white cake stands in various sizes to create a beautiful tiered display.  I like the versatility of using the cake stands alone or stacking them.  It was the perfect way to serve the ice cream and sugar cones. 

To keep the sherbet cold, I filled the bottom of three frosted buckets with ice and placed a sherbet container inside each one.  Once they were inside, I filled up the sides with more ice to keep the sherbet from melting too fast in the hot sun.    

I used different containers to display the toppings based on their consistency and texture.  The rolled cookies are great for dipping in the sherbet, so I spiraled them in a trifle bowl for anyone who wanted an edible spoon.  I also used gravy boats to serve pineapple, caramel, and strawberry sauces for easy pouring. 

Below the ice cream cones, I used a sectioned white tray to add more toppings like cherries, white chocolate curls, and colorful gummy bears.  In the center, I used a white tray to display a variety of cookies and on the left, I used another white tray to display fresh chopped fruit.  To help with serving, I used a white scoop for the toppings in the sectioned tray and white tongs for the cookie and fruit trays.  

I also used a bar cart styled with a small sprinkle balloon garland to make the table more festive.  It was a great place to add cute dessert cups and spoons for anyone who may not want a cone. The bar cart was also a great place to serve pre-made sundae cups.  The end result is a vibrant and refreshing sundae bar, perfect for a outdoor celebration!

As life gradually returns to normal, I hope we can all find time to celebrate the important moments with a summery sundae bar!  With quality party goods from Fineline Settings, entertaining is made easier.  All there is to do is assemble the ingredients into the containers and enjoy.  Have fun celebrating the graduations, birthday parties, or special milestones while you safely social distance outside!

With warmer weather ahead of us, there are promises of sunny days for outdoor activities like this Americana picnic!  It’s always fun to spend time enjoying nature with family and friends and to bring along a packed picnic.  I chose a historic old mill for the perfect backdrop to enjoy one of America’s favorite outdoor pastimes.  To make this even more fun, I used several partyware products from Fineline Settings to add nostalgia and ease into the picnic.     

There is nothing more symbolic of America than the bold red, white, and blue colors of the American flag.  These colors carry so much history, pride and unity.  I wanted to use these colors in varying shades for a familiar but modern look.  I chose a light blue picnic blanket for a bright and breezy vibe.  To keep with tradition, I added a wooden crate, a lantern and a wicker picnic basket.  A wicker picnic basket is another classic item that every exciting and nostalgic picnic needs.  I tossed in a few throw pillows to make it more comfy and inviting.  To top it off I added some flowers in shades of red, white, and blue to really make this beautiful and special.     

It’s great to be outdoor, but the most exciting part of a picnic is the food of course!  That’s why I feel it’s important to have wonderful partyware to serve the food.  I used a 35 oz carafe to bottle up a delicious raspberry lemonade.  Lemonade is another picnic staple and I like the coral color from the raspberries.  I love that the carafe has a lid to keep the drink from spilling during travel.  I also used the 16 oz mason jars for serving drinks.  They come with a screw on top lid with a hole for the straw which will help minimize spills and keep bugs out.  To make it more practical and fun, I took the lids off so I could place a classic red and white picnic napkin inside the jars.  Then I put a knife, fork and spoon in each to make it easier to hand out during the picnic.  I used the white disposable cutlery from the Conserveware line since they are biodegradable.  If we happen to accidentally lose a few in the wild, we won’t have to worry about harming the environment. 

I also chose various sizes of plates from the Conserveware line for serving the food.  They are available in several shapes and sizes, but I used the 10x5” rectangular plates, 10” square plates, 8” square plates, and 6” square plates.  The rectangular plates are great for displaying food.  I used one to serve classic ham and cheese sandwiches.  This will make it easier for everyone to grab a sandwich for themselves.  The 6” square plates were perfect for serving various fruits like strawberries and blueberries.  I like how these berries are red and blue to keep with our theme.  The 10” and 8” square plates are great for each person to take a little bit of everything for a delicious meal.  Since these are disposable and biodegradable, cleanup is easy since they can be tossed in the trash and are environmentally friendly.   

                Memorial Day and Independence Day are coming up and are great reasons to gather with your loved ones and have a picnic.  These holidays remind us to appreciate those who have served and is currently serving our country as well as be grateful for our freedom.  Make these significant celebrations more memorable by having a red, white, and blue Americana picnic in the outdoor space of your choice.  You can have even more fun by serving classic American picnic foods with fun drinkware and smart biodegradable plates and cutlery from Fineline Settings!

With the sunshine bright and pool totally cool, add a bit of ease to the rest of your summer celebrations with any one of our Fineline selections! We hope the rest of your summer is sensational! And we’ll be here every step of the way!

We wanted to take the time this week to pick from two ends of the dietary spectrum. It's time to celebrate two silly but totally worth celebrating holidays that are coming up that pay homage our favorite medium. Food!

                National Watermelon Day is coming up, and because this large and lobbing fruit happens to be this blogger’s favorite healthy snack- there is much to be excited about! It cannot be expressed just how lucky humans are that some of the most delicious foods we eat were given to us by nature’s kind hand! There are too many wonderful fruits and vegetables that could be celebrated, but one special little soul deigned August 3^rd as the day of that big green fruit- we know a certain comedian would be quite proud of that… whether or not the Watermelons would enjoy it, is an entirely different matter!

                So, as to help you enjoy your fruit; whether it be in the form of a cocktail, a salad or anything else you can concoct- we’re here to help you do it in style! Enjoy that fabulous Watermelon Martini in our Wavetrends 8 Oz. Martini Glass; your drinks will look absolutely fabulous and enjoyed just as fabulously thanks to the convenience of recyclable plastic!

                If you decide to dress up your Spinach with some cubes of the juicy, red goodness- then we suggest you paint your spectacular dish on the canvas of our new addition, the Square Splendor plate! No matter what you choose, one of Fineline Settings high-quality, premium collections will be there to compliment your dishes!

                 Ok, we took the time to pay homage to all that is healthy and natural… but that doesn’t mean we’re going to forget another classic summer treat that has been around since little Brownies scouted for merit badges around an open campfire! That’s right, we’re talking about that oozy, gooey, and oh-so-sweet campfire staple… S’Mores! August 10^th is National S’Mores Day, and what better way to enjoy the quickly approaching end to Summer Vacation than with this classic treat?

                Light up the fire pit and serve your family and friends on one of our Savvi Serve Plates, strong enough to handle the rugged outdoors while always giving that touch of chic that shines through all of our products!

Now, you might have some traditionalists who say this oozy dessert only belongs sticking to your fingers around the campfire… But why can’t it be an elegant closing to any dinner party or event? Of course it can… with a little help from us, and the bloggers below!

                 As always, we wanted to help inspire your creative juices with a few recipes we found to help celebrate these two very different but equally loved treats that your guests will absolutely love! Take a look at what we’ve got for you this week!

                 To start us off we have a most chic salad recipe brought to us by Stephanie over at her Blog i am a food blog! Your taste buds are about to skyrocket and we know you won’t be able to wait any easier than we have to try out the Watermelon Burrata Salad!

                 Our next love affair was shared by our friends over at Cookingclassy.com. They’ve managed to take this infamously messy snack and turn it into a bite-sized delight that will surely please everyone and with the ease of an oven! Take a look at the recipe for S’mores Bites- Two Way!
