Table Setting Tips

When you invite guests to your home dinner party, it is important to serve good food, but setting an interesting attractive table is also important. According to the type of the meal and event, casual or elegant dinner party, you should set your table. Why? Because your table decoration is the first thing your invitees will notice and it will surely influence their appetites. Sometimes, it does not matter how creative you are because it might seem to you that coming up with innovative and interesting table decorations is like pulling teeth. Yes, it is only a table – simple, long and flat thing that you use to eat on, but there are the ways to be creative in decorating it!

In case you are throwing a formal dinner party, use a cream colored made to measure tablecloths with matching cloth-napkins. Crystal or even gold-colored vase filled with some fresh and nice flowers will make your table setting marvelous. Of course, keep in mind that floral arrangements should be lower to enable your guests to see each other while having a dinner. To add more elegance, it is good to put some candles, but rather than putting them in candle holders, consider floating scented candles. China dinnerware will make your table setting classic and elegant, but old-fashionable. So, if you prefer contemporary type of elegance, you should get some colorful geometric-shaped dinnerware.

In case you are throwing a casual dinner party, you should think about brightly, fun colored tablecloths and cloth-napkins. Floral arrangements should certainly match the tablecloths, as well as the dinnerware if you prefer the colored glasses, plates etc. Casual place mats can be quite effective and attractive, and by the way, affordable. So, they will not only make your table setting more stylish, but also protect your tablecloths.
