Like diamonds and crystal glassware, oysters add old-school glamour to any celebration. They’ll never go out of fashion. Plus, if you order them from Richmond Oysters, you can get them delivered to your door pre-shucked; all you need to do is slice some lemons, find some Tabasco or rustle up a mignonette sauce. Pacific oysters are $6 each; alternatively, swallow a $2 upgrade to Sydney Rocks. Are your guests worth just-shy-of $400? If so, splurge on the gargantuan Deluxe Seafood Platter ($389).
