Tablescape Thursday~Men's Ministry Dinner

Welcome to Tablescape Thursday, where our hostess, Susan at Between Naps on the Porch, is hosting her
70th Tablescape!! (You can click on any picture for a larger view)...

My husband, Steve, is one of five guys that serve on the Men's Ministry team at our church. We invited the men and their wives over for a Christmas gathering a little over a week ago. I wanted to honor the men by making the table a little more 'masculine'. ;-)  I used my Dad's Birthday for my inspiration.

I had made napkin rings out of my dad's vintage ties and used them again here. Plus old cabinet cards underneath the forks marking where the woman and men would sit.

I have a collection of old Bibles, devotional books, and hymnals, as well as old scripture cards that I strewn across the center of the table..

The centerpiece was a silver tray holding glittered reindeer (that I purchased 80% off last year!), an angel display under a cloche, and greenery with silk roses tucked in here and there, finished off with gold beaded garland.

My handpainted goblets of pinecones and berries fit right in!

The guys got a kick out of Steve's place setting with the picture of an old bearded man under his fork!

We had a fun time..and I was tickled to be able to give a nod to the men in this tablescape!

Be sure to visit Between Naps on the Porch for other beautiful tablescapes!
