Food, guest list and seating arrangements aren’t the only things to consider when holding a luncheon. You shouldn’t forget the table setting itself as it creates the over-all look of the gathering. When your guests enter the dining area, this is the first thing that will catch their attention. So make a good impression by having a carefully laid-out luncheon table setting.

Ensure that you have all the appropriate dining pieces. Consider the foods you’ll serve and have the right utensils properly set on the table. If you’ll serve bread and butter as appetizer, include a butter spreader knife to your bread and butter plate. . It’s better to have matching plates, spoons and forks. Use the right drinking wares for the beverage you’ll serve. Have stemmed wine-glasses if you’ll have wine or cocktail glasses for fruit concoctions for a more creative look.
