Springtime is the best time to entertain. Flowers are blooming, the weather is inviting, and people are in a “let’s get together” mood.
“Hostess with the mostest” Lydia Menzies will be the guest presenter on April 1 at Georgia Writers Museum, where she will talk about her new book, The Supper Club with Lydia Menzies. She will also demonstrate ingenious ways to turn your next party into an experience that gets guests talking.
Imagine you are planning a May Day party and have an abundance of petunias in your backyard. How will you integrate the bright pink and purple flowers with your table decorations, invitations, and even the food selection? Menzies will open a whole new world for your next entertaining adventure.
Known for her swoon-worthy table settings and her ability to connect with the people who gather around them, Menzieso recognizes that styling a fabulous table is a creative gift that hostesses often love to share. The goal of hospitality is to create a sense of happiness and belonging among the guests.
Menzies is the 2025 contributing editor for table styling for Southern Lady magazine and the creator of The Supper Club community. She is also the author of a new lifestyle book, The Supper Club with Lydia Menzies, an impressive coffee table book full of tablescape ideas for year-round hosting.
Menzies has been featured online in Southern Living, Buzz-Feed, Good Housekeeping, and Pop Sugar, among many other sites, and has been asked to style for brands such as Martha Stewart for Staples, Breyers Ice Cream, Square, Mattel, Body Armor, and even Netflix superstar, Julie McAllister.
The Supper Club is Menzies’ community, which combines her passion for creative party themes with her help in claiming the recognition businesses deserve. She lives in Athens with her husband and two Goldendoodles and takes great pride in seeing everyone enjoy the benefits of kindness and camaraderie through creativity.
