babysugar — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 09:00:56 PST

Taking your babe out to dinner can be stressful with people staring, highchairs in short supply and the possiblilty of temper tantrums. One way to make it easier is to bring along your own disposable placemats made by Neat Solutions ($9).

The placemats have two adhesive strips that you stick down on the table to keep it in position. You can choose from Winnie the Pooh, Dora the Explorer or good old Sesame Street. While you protect your child from the germs on restaurant tables, the designs and characters will keep your baby occupied and entertained. When baby is finished eating, all you have to do is wrap it up and throw it away.

if you're lucky, you'll get a bite to eat too.

It's almost Oscar time! If you're throwing a showstopping soiree this Sunday, you'll need to set the stage with some glam table toppers. For serving decadent apps like crab cakes and chive tartines, I recommend the Nagoya 3-Part Server ($15) and Kate Spade's Ticker Tape Tidbit Plates ($50). Pour your guests citrus sparklers in these Mr. and Mrs. Cocktail glasses ($18) set on black braided coasters ($36). And in honor of the star-studded event, sparkle up the tables with gold origami star confetti ($4). To shop the rest of the look, click on the images above!

Savory Sight: Fun Fourth of July Table

Throwing a Fourth of July celebration? If so, take inspiration from colorsizzle, who created a festive Independence Day scheme for her dessert table.

Inspired by the Interstate signs while driving one day, I decided to design these cupcake toppers and tags for a 4th of July cookout. That lead to this entire "Sweet Street" theme.

The "street" is actually a black tablecloth and the "painted" lines were done with electrical tape. I think this is an idea that guests of all ages will enjoy.
