It may seem like the most basic thing, but a table setting that wows your guest can take your dinner party from mediocre to the talk of the town. I think the majority of people can admit that the last thing on their dinner party to-do list is setting the table. It usually consists of a scramble to find some plastic rose petals from last year’s Valentine’s Day and the least smudged cutlery in the drawers. But, if you can think about your table setting even just a few days in advance, then your guests are in for a dinner party to remember. So let’s put away the lipstick-stained Prosecco glasses and set the stage for some simple but effective table-setting tips! Read on to find out what we recommend!
