Cooking or not, we got your back. It’s always a great idea to cook a meal for your significant other. No need to worry if your cooking skills haven’t improved, since ordering in or picking food up is a nice idea, and this way you will be able to focus more on the ambiance and the decoration of the dinner setup.
Of course flowers and candles set the romantic note but also having an idea of how to set up your table is also important. Here is a graph from Real Simple magazine.
Casual Table Setting Instructions
- Lay the placemat on the table.
- Put the dinner plate in the middle of the placemat.
- Place the salad plate on top of the dinner plate.
- If you’re starting with a soup course, place the soup bowl on top of the salad plate. If you’re not remove also the spoon.
- Lay a napkin to the left of the charger or go wild with the various setups you’ve seen us prepare so far in our events.
- To the left of the plate, place the fork on the napkin.
- On the right of the plate, place the knife closest to the plate and then the spoon.
- Directly above the knife, place the water glass.
- To the right and slightly above the water glass, place the wine glass or a glass for another beverage.
We are firm believers that when you decide to go extra on the table, then even your food tastes better and the whole culinary experience becomes unique!
