Are you hosting your first gathering for friends and family? No worries, here are a few ways to make your dinner table as pretty as the meal you'll be cooking up. The recipe for a tasteful table setting requires few ingredients, the most important being the holiday spirit.
INGREDIENTS (6 - 8 PERSONS)
1 TABLECLOTH OR RUNNER
6 - 8 NAPKINS
6 - 8 PLACEMATS
FLATWARE TO GO WITH THE MENU
RUSTIC DINNERWARE
MIX OF GLASSES
COASTERS
CANDLES AND FRESH FLOWERS AFTER TASTE
INSTRUCTIONS
Frame your masterpiece
Go with a tablecloth that’ll make the delicious meals you labored overlook great.
Mix and match
Scrap paper napkins and opt for real napkins in a different pattern and color than your placemat and tablecloth.
Rule of thumb
Use the upper half of your thumb as a measurement when placing them from the end of the table. Then place the glasses and flatware accordingly and in line with each other. Another handy trick is to hold your hands up, touch the tip of your left-hand forefinger with the tip of your left-hand thumb to make a lowercase ‘b.’ Do the same with the tip of your right-hand forefinger and thumb to make a lowercase ‘d.’ This trick reminds you that “bread and butter” go to the left and “drinks” to the right.
