The image opposite does not reflect the recommendations completely that we give you here, but it is only there to illustrate the pleasure which can get a pretty presentation of table associated with an good atmosphere with interior.
For example here, we made this table for a St. Valentine's day.

For a meal in family, between friends, for a birthday, Christmas, and especially for a professional promotion, you will have to draw up your table in an unusual way.
According to the professional situation of your husband, it strong is possible that you have early or to receive late with your table, some of his colleagues or collaborators, accompanied by their wives, whose majority know already the rules of propriety.

Perhaps you were never confronted with this situation until now, but there, it will be necessary to ensure. No panic, some basic rules to leave you here business:

To start, study the number of guests and calculate the size of your table to make so that your guests are not wedged the ones against the others, nor too spaced. If you never left the extensions your table of the bottom of the wall cupboard, that will be the moment to do it.
Add the number of extensions necessary to increase your table consequently, by taking care not to leave of empty space or an unoccupied zone.

Your table must remain convivial; if only one extension is enough for the number of guests envisaged, do not put two of them. Your guests must occupy all the turn of your table.

You will absolutely avoid reserving a corner of the table for the service or to store the dishes, which they are empty or full, bottles, plates of replacement, etc
Arrange a table at side rather, reserved for cutting and the service, rather than the end of the table where your guests are aligned; we are not any more with the Middle Ages.

You will appreciate the size best that you will have to give to your table by knowing that the rule is to lay out your plates with the same distance from/to each other, and to 1 centimetre of the edge of the table. The distance to be respected between each plate must be at least 55 centimetres.

Lay out your plates in order to prevent that one or more guests find themselves obliged enfourcher a foot of the table.

Lay out at least 2 glasses per anybody opposite each plate, glass with water (largest) on the left, the wine glass on the right.
In the majority of the cases one must draw up glasses like this: On the basis of the line; glass for aperitif, the wine glass, water glass, and champagne glass (flute or cut).
To draw up a table with share to serve aperitif is done more and more, and makes it possible to the guests to move ones with the others.

Covers will be laid out on each side of the plate, according to the arrival of the dishes, on the basis of the outside and approaching the plate progressively of the service; closest to the plate will be used for the dish as resistance.
The forks are laid out on the left the teeth turned towards the table, and the knives on the right edge turned towards the plate.
The spoon with soup if it has there, will be laid out on the right, directed towards the table, beside the knives, always in the order of the service.

Covers with cheese and dessert can be placed between the plate and glass, or be brought at the time of their employment.

Made so that your crockery and your covers are irreproachable in cleanliness and do not comprise finger marks.

The rule wants that one alternates the men and the women. In the same way, you will try to lay out your guests according to their affinities, or on the contrary, will separate them according to their opinions in a concern of avoiding conflicts which could waste your meal.

At the time of the service, the rule wants that the women are been useful in first, and are made so that everyone is been useful as soon as possible; there is nothing more disconcerting for those which were been useful in first, to wait and eat cold to start to eat at the same time as those which were been useful in the last. In the same way, for those which were served the last, to start to eat whereas the others already finished their dish.
It is a question usually and of organization. Give especially an special attention on the sauces which must be been useful quite hot under penalty of becoming sometimes nauseating.

Within the framework of a meal with your employment relationships, and especially if you must speak job, made so that the children do not come to disturb the peace of the meal or come to intersect the subjects with discussion. Ensure you to know if your guests will come with their children, in which case, why not reserve to them a table beside that of the adults. In the contrary case, made so that your children do not take part in the meal of business, for example in their developing a meal plate-TV in their room, in theory they adore.

And to finish, we could not to too recommend you to take care to limit alcohol, primary source of the problems with table, especially if your guests must take the road thereafter; for example, why not to replace the wine by mineral water, possibly gas, in more that digestion facilitates).

Here, it is not wizard. We hope that these some councils will have helped you.
