Joanna Gaines’ New Seasonal Dinner Party Guide Makes Hosting a Seasonal Dinner Party So Much Easier

Published on February 27, 2026

For Joanna Gaines, the kitchen is the heart of the home. Gathering over a home-cooked meal is what sparks conversations, memories, and family traditions, and it’s no secret that Gaines loves it when her dining room is full of family and friends. This year, she’s kicking off a brand-new community focused on hosting and food: "The Shared Table."

About the Supper Club

This seasonal supper club is intended to inspire you to gather friends, family, and community over a seasonal food party. Each season, a new edition of "The Shared Table" will be included in the Magnolia Journal, packed with ideas for decor, table settings, recipes, and drinks inspired by the season. You can also browse it on Magnolia's official website. You’ll also find helpful activities, playlists, and schedules for hosting your very own get-together. 

Whether you want to follow Gaines’ decor or just use a few of its seasonal recipes as inspiration for your party menu, you’ll have lots to work with. Sets of questions help you consider which theme to pick or what food to serve; in between, you’ll find detailed menus, photos, and tricks to help you plan your entire party from top to bottom.

How to Tackle Brunch This Spring

"The Shared Table" is kicking off the spring season with a sunny weekend brunch. You’ll find all the tips you need to host a morning brunch of your very own and celebrate the warmer days ahead. 

On the menu are classics like Joanna Gaines’s buttermilk biscuit recipe, cinnamon rolls, and potato leek strata. You’ll also find spring salads and drinks being enjoyed at "The Shared Table" this month. These recipes are the right spot to find inspiration for your next brunch party.

Tablescape

"The Shared Table" recommends keeping a mix of seasonal table items on hand and swapping out your linens and centerpieces with the weather. This month highlights a variety of serveware from the Magnolia spring collection: floral serving dishes, organic placemats, and colorful checked linens are all making an appearance. The pieces and styling recommendations on display change with each season.

This month’s brunch also comes with a Spotify playlist created by Magnolia just for you—and you’ll also find a personalized hosting schedule to help you arrange your spring brunch ahead of time.
