Libbey Inc. (NYSE:LBY), the leading producer of glass tableware in North America, announces the availability of their free, full-color Entertainment Guide filled with tasty theme-based recipes and creative serving ideas.

The thought of entertaining often clouds feelings of excitement with dread, as the host or hostess begins to consider all of the work involved. Choosing an enticing menu and serving a well-prepared recipe in a visually appealing presentation can be a daunting consideration for the person preparing to entertain over appetizers or a meal. Often the best ideas for a perfect feast come from experts in the foodservice industry, bringing creativity and relief to the entertainment planners.

Libbey's new Entertainment Guide provides simple and creative ideas that are as fun to create as they are for guests to use. Whether the occasion is casual or formal, planned for adults, kids, family or friends, this guide has many interesting ideas that can add the perfect touch to a gathering.

The Entertainment Guide features recipes, food presentation and decorating ideas designed to deliver easy and imaginative ways to highlight the focal point of almost every occasion -- the tabletop. By using common accessories like glassware, dinnerware and flatware in uncommon ways, the guide shows you how to transform your tabletop into a work of art.

Known as America's glassmaker, Libbey Inc. also produces a large selection of dinnerware and flatware. Libbey's product lines can be purchased in major retail chains throughout the U.S. and Canada.
