I just returned from spending a week with my 25-year-old daughter and friends in Chicago, and I discovered that social media has a big impact on even the way they entertain. Everything served should be “Insta-worthy,” which takes things to a whole new level. With the holidays approaching and entertaining at home making a comeback, here are some ideas that will wow your guests. Hint: If they snap a pic before they eat, you’ll know you have succeeded!

This beautiful cake is actually a layered cucumber and salmon tea sandwich frosted with whipped cream cheese.

I found this while searching for a creative way to serve shrimp individually. You can find a wide array of small plastic serving cups online.

I am always looking for easy and beautiful tablescape ideas for the holidays.

The kids will love helping arrange this adorable veggie turkey tray!

I love the arrival of white pumpkins, so perfect for any table or buffet.

A Bloody Mary Bar—perfect for Thanksgiving or New Year’s Day!

Breakfast is beautiful when presented on a board with bagels, spreads, salmon and more.

Invest in a beautiful champagne bucket! Nothing looks better atop a bar.

These doughnut hole trees built on styrofoam cones are the perfect way to display sweet treets on your buffet.

This tablescape is beautiful and simple with blue plates and silver chargers. The menorah used as a candelabra is brilliant.

This was the happy hour spread for my daughter’s birthday celebration. The fillable numbers are high impact!

Great caterers know that the best way to display food is by creating different levels. Accomplish it yourself by simply setting platters on items to create varied heights and get creative with it!

There are a lot of DIY menorah ideas online. I love the simplicity of using candlesticks in varied heights. It also doubles as a beautiful centerpiece.
