Tips for Setting a Good Table

  Welcoming special guests always prompts us to pay extra attention to their comfort; we focus on every detail, and serving a well-set table is a very important indication of our education and style. If you manage to get everything right, the success in your social sphere will be guaranteed. All gatherings revolve around a table because it is the dining place, whether it’s a business meeting where executives arrive with their wives, or friends coming in couples, we must always pay attention to its decoration. We have mentioned at some point the importance of the tablecloth; nowadays, two are used, one longer than the other, to provide greater support for hot food and to protect the furniture. Additionally, if something spills, it will be easier to remove the undercloth. Ensure that neither is too thick and that it matches the other accessories on the table. Napkins are always placed to the right of the plate, with a common size of 50 x 60 cm. You should fold them into a triangle or rectangle, whichever you feel looks best on your table. For an important gathering, the dinnerware takes center stage, so take out the ones you keep in your drawers; they should be porcelain or earthenware. Opt for classic designs, unless you have a budget to vary them according to the occasion. Although there can be several pieces in the dinnerware set, you must ensure you have deep plates, flat plates, and dessert plates.
