(STUART, Florida) -- As the economy slows, more people are celebrating at home, according to a new consumer spending survey that found a 27% increase in home entertaining during the past six months. ^[1]  With at-home entertaining on the rise, a new product line of decorative table tents featuring party theme-inspired trivia offers hosts and hostesses a unique way to inspire conversations while enhancing a party’s décor.  

“Table Tent Trivia has revolutionized the concept of table tents – essentially large place cards – from a commercial promotional tool to a decorative entertaining product that sets the tone for intrigue and fun as guests enjoy trivia based upon an event’s theme,” said Sean Murphy, director of sales and marketing.  “With today’s renewed interest in home entertaining, Table Tent Trivia provides consumers with a stylish and affordable way to add elegance and originality to an event as well as a distinctive accent for tablescapes and overall party décor.”

The Florida-based company unveiled its unique product line at a trade show this summer and has seen demand grow as the slowing economy has created interest in innovative home entertaining ideas.  The table tents, many of which are die-cut, are beautifully designed to complement popular party décor themes and colors.  Questions are developed, researched and categorized by Table Tent Trivia to cover a range of topics specifically related to an event’s theme.  

The Table Tent Trivia concept, which is designed for home entertaining, was originally developed as an understated icebreaker for a seasonal corporate dinner to keep a diverse group of colleagues conversing about classic holiday movies.  Today, the company offers 12 themes:  Baby, Bridal, Wine, Just the Girls, Summer Splash, Classic Movies, Classic Guy Films, Chick Flicks, St. Patrick’s Day/Irish, Halloween, Holidays and New Year’s Eve.  The themes are suitable for many special occasions, including dinner parties, baby showers, engagements, weddings, birthday celebrations, Girls’ Nights Out, luaus, beach get-togethers, wine tastings and reunions.  

Table Tent Trivia (http://www.tabletenttrivia.com/) packages trivia questions around party themes, creating decorative table tents that inspire conversations based upon an event’s theme while providing visual interest to a party’s décor. Designed and printed in the United States, Table Tent Trivia products are available at stationery, gift, paper and party goods retailers across the nation, including Zurchers, select WineStyles and iParty stores.
