To create a great impression you need to set your party table the right way. Here are some of the ways in which you can set the table:

Formal

This is when you have a corporate event. You should position the plate at the center of the table setting and then place the butter plate on the left, above the forks. You should lay the dinner fork on the left of the plate and place other forks on the left of the dinner fork.

When organizing your cutlery, you should organize in the way in which it will be used. This is in order to work from the outside in.

Buffet

You should place the utensils at the end of the table, wrap a fork, knife, spoon in a napkin and secure them with a napkin ring. You should set glasses, dessert items, cups on another table in order to avoid congestion.

Casual

You should position two forks, a dinner fork and smaller salad on the left of the plate. You should then fold napkins and place them beneath the forks.

Important tips

While it’s good to have table clothes, many guests spend of the time worrying about soiling the party linens. You should avoid the stress by avoiding the standard tables. If you are having a casual event, you should cover the tabletops with newspapers.

In addition to the accessories, you should also use party plates, cups and flatware. As rule of thumb you should ensure that the items have a bright hue.
