After living in a basement apartment for years, we just bought our dream home! I’m so excited to host our family for Purim; it’ll be amazing to finally be the hosts instead of the perpetual guests, staggering in from the car, covered in graham cracker crumbs and apple juice.

My kids are so excited for their cousins to trash the rooms I just finished cleaning for my sisters-in-law, I’ve been stocking my freezer for weeks, and I want to show my dining room off to its best advantage by setting it up beautifully.

I plan to copy the amazing “Forest Fairy Tale Tea Party” tablescape you featured, and have already purchased all of the artificial moss, willow branches, and chirping canaries that I need. My only question is how many inches I should allot per person. I’m not sure how much space the tree stumps will take up, and I want to know if we’ll all fit into the dining room, or if I should extend the tables into the living room.
