Whether you choose to prepare a formal table setting, casual table setting, or a buffet table setting to serve your guests, the comfort of your guests should be top priority. Each style has its own basic guidelines to follow but your ultimate goal should be to have a table that is attractive and comfortable.
The different types of table settings do not require different tableware. Just because you are setting a formal table does not mean you have to have expensive china. The important thing is that the tableware fits into its surroundings and that the tableware, tablecloth, napkins, centerpiece, and other accessories complement each other and looks well together. Following basic guidelines will help you end up with a table setting that is pleasing to all. See more tips and advice on entertaining.
