If you’re planning a formal dinner for a special occasion such as a birthday or anniversary then attention to detail is key. Whether it’s for 8 to 80 guests, by following a few of these handy tips, you’re sure to impress your guests:
• Place cards – they give it that personal touch but also lets your guests know who is seated where, and especially helpful if some of them don’t know each other.
• Table centrepiece – an attractive centerpiece such as flowers or candles can instantly transform your dinner table
• Butter plates – just like in a fancy restaurant use butter plates with a butter knife positioned to the right side of the fork
• Cloth Napkins – these are a classier option than paper napkins and to really impress, fashion them into a fan like shape and place them between the knife and fork
• Glassware – position the wine glasses to the right just above the knife. This is to let people eat with the fork on their left and drink from the wine glass with their right hand.
• Chair covers – for that true touch of class, hire chair covers with an organza sash to be placed over the dining room chairs. They look great and will make your guests feel truly special.
At Special Occasions Covered, we have a wonderful array of chair cover hire options, and you can choose from over two dozen different coloured organza sashes to tie around the chair. While there’s a lot of planning involved to host that perfect dinner party, at least with our chair covers, it’s so easy to transform your dining room into a wonderful elegant setting.
