Table setting themes are easily achieved with seasonal items and seasonal napkins. Seasonal salt and pepper shakers can be purchased inexpensively. A bouquet of flowers, a ceramic object, pinecones, a toy, leaves, fruit, and almost anything else can be used as a centerpiece. Having a centerpiece that is too large and tall is the most common mistake. Make sure that people are able to see across the table to others sitting at the table without the centerpiece blocking their view.
Children love making simple placemats from construction paper to go along with a theme.
They can be colored, painted, stamped or edges cut to fit in to a certain theme. With some simple preparation, any occasion can be wonderful. Families and friends come together in a wonderful way when the lost art of mealtime and table setting is restored. Centerpieces are a finishing touch to helping families have mealtime. Inc.
