Celebration, flowers, music. It comes down to a festive feast. When organizing a festive table, people are guided by generally accepted etiquette and established stereotypes and rules. For example, a small home meal does not involve the presence of waiters. Very often, the owners do not have the opportunity to fully enjoy either the holiday itself or the feast, because are chefs, waiters, and entertainers. Therefore, it is sometimes justifiable to deviate from some of the accepted traditions.

Instructions
Step 1
Consider musical accompaniment. This should be given special importance, since the tapping of forks and knives in absolute silence can leave a not very pleasant impression of the holiday.
Step 2
Choose appropriate spirits. Here you can deviate from the generally accepted rules. For example, in cold weather, offer guests mulled wine or punch, along with fruit and light canapes.
Step 3
Determine the order of serving dishes in advance. After the aperitif, it is not at all necessary to serve all the cold appetizers at once. Hungry guests should not only gorge themselves on salads and other snacks. Moreover, the table is so packed with absolutely incompatible dishes that there is no room for a beautifully decorated flower bouquet and tastefully selected symbolic attributes of the holiday.
Step 4
To feed your guests and not constantly reheat a hot dish, start with it. Suitable hot and cold vegetable snacks, original salads and sauces can be served with it. At the same time, you will remain at the table and fully enjoy the toast, conversation and food, without rushing anywhere.
Step 5
After a hearty hot meal, invite your guests to move and dance. In the meantime, remove the dirty dishes and take out of the refrigerator pre-cooked snacks such as seafood and fish, beautifully complemented with herbs, lemon, spices and sauces.
Step 6
Serve cold meats. It can be traditional sausages, ham, boiled pork, jellied meat. Olivier can also be served. An abundance of fresh vegetables will make your table more appetizing and appealing. Note that all of these snacks must be prepared by you in advance. You just need to put them on the table.
Step 7
After some casual chat, end your meal with a light dessert, tea and coffee.
