Instructions
Step 1
Choose a tablecloth, preferably in light colors, well ironed and appropriate for the size of the table. The edges should hang flat on all four sides, about 20-25 cm. Lay so that the middle folded fold runs down the middle of the furniture. The covering will be smoother by placing a flannel or other soft cloth underneath. Apply drapery or additionally decorate the table with bows, flowers.
Step 2
Arrange the dishes. Make sure that it is free of chips and cracks. There is no need to choose expensive sets, it is important that all cutlery is the same. For each invitee, a main plate is placed, an auxiliary one, knives are placed on the right, and forks on the left. Glasses, wine glasses, glasses are served either in an arc or parallel to the table. Place salt shakers and vessels with spices around the table at such a distance from each other that any guest can reach. Each salad comes with a spoon or spatula.
Step 3
Remove ashtrays from the festive table if someone has put them there. Guests may include children and non-smokers, and an open call to smoke may be unpleasant for them.
Step 4
Keep bottles of mineral water and spirits on a separate serving table. If there are a lot of guests, wine, vodka can be left on the table, but arranged so that everyone can reach out and, if desired, pour themselves a drink to their liking. Champagne is served sealed in a bucket of ice or cold water. The homemade tinctures are poured into decanters. Store products are allowed to be left in bottles.
Step 5
Choose linen napkins, for example, to match the bride's wedding bouquet or white, with the image of wedding rings, depending on your taste. Place them on or to the left of the top plate. The color of the accessory should match the shade of the tablecloth. In order for the fabric to keep its shape, it must be starch.
Step 6
Create a table of guests' seating at the table. The drawing is a good guidebook with the numbering of all seats, it lists all the guests in alphabetical order with the seat numbers. Sit down the invitees so that it would be pleasant for them to spend time in each other's company. Do not forget that spouses should not be separated, men should be mixed with women, older people should be well grouped at one end of the table, and young people should be at the other.
Step 7
Make name cards for guests. Cut out small rectangles from cardboard, write the name, surname, patronymic of each guest, his seat number. Decorate them with rowan or spruce sprigs. Attach to napkins or place on plates.
Step 8
Buy flowers. Individual buds will look good on the wedding table, or you can arrange vases and flat plates with the same flowers. If the tablecloth is white, tint the water with potassium permanganate. Arrange wreaths of flowers, put vases with fruit inside, put a flower garland along the table.
Step 9
Plan your menu based on the location of the celebration. In a restaurant, make a list based on the food the restaurant has to offer. Feasting at home depends on financial resources. First, cold fish snacks are served, then meat salads, vegetable and mushroom snacks, then meat snacks, hot, main hot course, sweet dishes and desserts. Nutritionists have found that it is this kind of serving that increases appetite and does not dull the sense of taste.
