Setting the table—For a colorful place setting, consider purchasing plastic chargers from any local store and spray painting them coral or Kelly green.

Use what you have—To add width to your home table, the experts recommend adding a piece of plywood to the top of any 6’ or 8’ table surface. Chargers take up a lot of room on a table and adding a large floral design requires extra space.

Attention to detail—Use tennis balls as place card holders by cutting slits into the top for a card. Consider shaving off a piece at the bottom to keep balls from rolling of the table.

Decorative Accents— Vintage rackets were purchased from Ebay, but local thrift stores and garage sales are also great places to find tennis props. “Sweat bands are another fun accent that you can use as napkin rings,” adds Hope and Newsom.

 Setting—“Host the luncheon outside, or even courtside,” suggests Social Butterflies. “The green backdrop will add to the ambiance.”

Create Ambience: Local hardware stores or garden centers have cost-effective plants you could use in creating a centerpiece. Add rackets or tennis balls to enhance them. If fresh flowers are not in the budget, the experts suggest using props as a centerpiece.
