Правильная сервировка – это всегда знак внимания к гостям создать праздничную атмосферу, а также показатель художественного вкуса хозяйки.

Исходя из этой цели и были придуманы правила сервировки стола. В повседневной жизни соблюдать все эти правила нужно только в самых торжественных случаях, но один раз усвоив их суть, можно будет своими руками накрывать на стол по любому случаю – от романтичного ужина до семейного празднования Нового года.

Скатерть – Тарелки – Столовые приборы – Бокалы – Салфетки – Декор (ваза с цветами, свечи, тематические украшения).

Определиться с количеством персон, составить меню, привести в порядок скатерть, проверить количество и качество салфеток, посуды, приборов, продумать декор.

В день приема гостей нужно протереть всю посуду и приборы начисто, а затем накрывать стол.
