1. Have the Table Pre-Set
Rather than setting the table later during the event when there are guests to maneuver around, have the table set before the gathering begins. Not only will this be easier for you, but it will give your visitors a chance to marvel at the table before it is inhabited.

3. Utility is Key
While being aesthetically pleasing is key, the table set-up must also be functional. For example, placing salt and pepper behind a large center piece making them invisible and inaccessible or not allowing enough space for each guest at a setting takes away from the appearance and doesn’t allow diners to have a good time.

4. Solidify a Menu
You silverware, glassware, and dish ware all depend on the food items you will be serving. Don’t wait until the last minute to nail down the menu, otherwise your table will be kept waiting also.
