Holiday tableware

A couple of days before the New Year 2018, the question arises of how to decorate the holiday table and in what interesting style. The choice of dishes and decor elements for serving depends on this. Since the New Year’s dinner lasts longer than usual, earlier it was customary to use white dishes and silver. Today, the idea of ​​serving has changed, but the rule remains the same: dishes and appliances should be decorated in the same style and harmonize in color.

New Year's tablecloth

After you have decided on the dishes, proceed to the choice of tablecloths. For the festive table setting for the New Year 2018, it is best to use pastel shades. Since the coming year is the year of the Dog according to the eastern calendar, she does not like catchiness and colorful tones. You can buy a tablecloth with New Year's print. The tablecloth should hang equally equally on all sides. The edges of the tablecloth, according to the rules of serving, fall twenty to thirty centimeters from the table, not reaching the chair seat. Remember: they do not decorate the festive table with oilcloth, even if it is stunningly beautiful - this is a thing for family use!

Napkins

Cloth napkins should be tone-on-tone with a tablecloth. They fold nicely and put on top of the plates. Paper napkins can be matched in the same color scheme with a tablecloth. If you want to please the owner of the upcoming 2018 - Earth Dog, then opt for paper napkins with the image of cute doggies of different breeds. Paper napkins are placed in stands specially designed for this, which are placed in two or three places on the table. Napkins made of paper and fabric look great next door, because they perform different functions. A cloth napkin protects clothes, it is placed on your knees, and a paper towel wipes your mouth.

Then, when the situation with the choice of dishes and tablecloths is allowed, the next task follows - decorating the table. One of the indispensable New Year's decor of the table are - beautiful fabric napkins, which were mentioned above. After all, only they can create a sophisticated joyful atmosphere of dinner. In addition to napkins, candles, spruce toys, statuettes of Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden are used for decoration, as well as New Year's compositions of spruce twigs or herbarium. In addition to everything, you can decorate the table with postcards or souvenirs.

Christmas compositions for table decoration

But if you don’t have enough time before the holiday, ready-made decorations can always be found and purchased at flower shops or gift salons.

The Most Important Table Setting Rules

Serving the New Year's table begins with molton - a soft cloth that is placed under the tablecloth. It is designed to protect the surface of the countertop from the action of hot dishes and moisture, prevents slipping of the New Year's tablecloth and muffles the sound of cutlery. And already on top of the molton is a tablecloth.

At a distance of one or two centimeters from the edge of the table, a large flat plate is placed for hot, and on it is a plate for snacks. To the left of them, put the fork with the teeth up, and to the right - a knife, point to the plates. But a fork wrapped in a tissue napkin with a knife is still allowed. Before serving a hot dish, eateries are removed from the table.

The main glass for water or juice is exposed at the top at a distance of one centimeter from the knife. And then you need to arrange the rest of the glasses. There are no strict rules for their arrangement. It all depends on your imagination and taste. However, it is not recommended to put four glasses or glasses on one person.

All about New Year’s spirits

The new 2018 year cannot be imagined without a mandatory attribute - champagne. For many of us, a holiday is already concluded in the very name of this wine. A bottle of champagne opens at the table, usually under the chiming clock, and is poured into small glasses, preferably tall. This is due to the fact that the process of gas evolution is prolonged. Other wines are uncorked in advance, after which they put on the table already open. Stronger high-degree strong drinks can be poured into a beautiful festive decanter. Everyone tries to drink from the heart for the New Year. However, remember, the Ministry of Health warns: alcohol only brings joy first. A stormy and cheerful New Year's Eve celebration often entails a sad and sluggish morning. Therefore - take care!
