Guidelines
Guidelines
Participants determine if their table setting will be formal or informal.
All tables should follow the guidelines listed below.
Create and display a menu according to the theme of the class.
Set the table with two (2) place settings.
Set flatware, glassware, cups, saucers and plates corresponding to courses listed on the menu, with the exception of the dessert place.
Centerpiece may be scaled for a larger table that would seat more guests, but cannot deter from the overall effect, the guests' comfort or the service of the meal.
Place cards, if you choose to use them, can be placed on top of the napkin (if napkin is on the plate) or above the dessert flatware.
Menu should be easy to read in 18 point font or larger type, presented in a self-standing frame which makes it visible.
Menu should reflect the theme or occasion. Food items should be balanced, offering sufficient dishes from all food groups.
A minimum of three courses should be served.
