Table Settings are a Gift to your Guests

Everyone likes to receive a present with colorful wrappings and a fancy bow.  There is always excitement and anticipation when you see the gift and then you have the fun of opening the gift.

A dinner table, especially for the holidays, should be like a gift to your guests.  Here are five simple things you can do to make a table special.

1.   The table should have a nicely ironed table cloth and napkins.
2.   Candles make a very special effect.
3.   A clever centerpiece, whether it is flowers or a collection of family treasures,  a turkey, Santa or even a bowl of fruit make a pleasant visual.
4.   Each place setting of silverware should be straight and set properly at everyone's place.
5.   Dishes and glassware should be always polished and shined.

Now you have a gift to your guests of a beautiful table setting.  Look at magazines for ideas, go to the library to research table settings or look on the internet.  Your guests will appreciate the work that goes into a festive table,  it's a gift to your guests.

Remember, It's Always Time for Manners
