Parties and formal
get together certainly don’t mean extravagance all the time.
With good table manners and enjoyable company your party can
surely be the hot talk among your friends.
As far as your
enthusiasm and taste is concerned, it is justifiable to exhibit
a few of your creative ideas and table ethics.
A table could be super-laid with fine crockery, luscious dishes,
fruit bowls, cutlery etc. There is still something that is
essential to make the table wholesome – appropriate table
linens. There is a fanciful look that comes on the table with
good table linens. |
To make your table look
exquisitely beautiful, match the table linens with your crockery and the
theme of the party. For birthdays and wedding parties in India you could
use embroidered or lacy tablecloth. Parties with friends can include
bolder patterns and colours for the table linens. Handmade table linens
can catch many eyes and are easily available in India. Beach parties or
garden parties could accommodate more fun and adventure.
Table linen set comprises of napkin rings, runners, place mats, doilies,
tablecloths, table pads and napkins. Different shapes, textures and
materials could cause some variation in every party. Tablecloth is
available in square and round shapes and can be arranged tracing the
shape of the table. During formal dining, don’t forget to arrange
placemats on the table. Use of placemats is famous in party circuits.
Leather placemats are more popular in commercial sectors.
Doilies add a more perfectionist touch to the party; they are used to
base the wine/drinking glasses. Napkins have standardised sizes for
different meals. 6 inches is the standard size for cocktails, whereas
for luncheons it is 20 inches and 24 inches for dinner. Don’t play
monotonous. Mix and match the linens to brighten up the look.
Rectangular shaped Runners, as the name suggests, border along the
table. These are used for decorative purpose and are available in
different sizes, shapes and designs. Table pads are used beneath the
table legs to keep the balance intact. You can keep this optional.
Many ways in our lives may be informal, but when it comes to an
important course of action one has to keep grace and live it up to the
mark. A few party ethics can de-mask your way of thinking. Preserve your
table linen for occasions like these and make the most out of them.
