Welcome to a Seat at the Table.

While "to each their own" is a good way of looking at our next Table-Top Tip, there is always a guide to everything we do. Our Clients and Friends often ask us how to set a table, and while we have our own way too, the following diagram shows a full-blown table setting for an Emily Post style dinner party. Adjust it as necessary to fit your menu. Remember to make your guests as comfortable as you can. Don't put out utensils that won't ever be used. If your menu doesn't include anything that would be eaten with a teaspoon, don't put teaspoons on the table...regardless of what "they say". Common sense is often the best way to assist you in having a Wonderful Day and your goal to Eat Well.
