Table Setting
This is a busy time of the year, some of us have function and business party to attend so not everyone I invited could make it to our party but we still end up with 25 guests including the kids. I really enjoy setting up the table. I usually start at least 4 or 5 days before the actual date of the party, so I have a lot of time to play around with the plates, napkins, decorations, menu, etc... To me, it was fun and exciting to see the end result. I usually start with the table cloth, choosing the color, layers are added to the table and then I just follow my inspirations. For me, preparation is about more than just planning and scheduling! It is about getting into the holidays spirit and trying to create a festive mood so everyone can be in a happy mood and ready to party!

Overview of the table.
This year I had great fun setting up the table. I went into my shed and pull out a lot of Christmas decorations and I just put them together and the table turned to be very festive and colorful!

The menu is printed and it is on top of each plate with name so all the guests know where to sit. |
