One of the important elements of the New Year's holiday, of course, is a beautifully decorated table. Therefore, it is quite natural that the festive serving of the New Year's table requires a lot of strength and imagination of the hostess.
Note that it is almost impossible to repeat exactly the serving that was seen somewhere. Even the owner herself can not always repeat her own creation.
So how do you serve the table for the New Year? Our advice will help you in this.
Dishes on the festive table
If you do not take into account the very filling of the New Year's table (that is, the festive dishes), the dishes, with which the table setting will be performed for the New Year, comes to the fore. You can buy new dishes for the holiday, but you can use the existing service. Just be sure a couple of days before the holiday make sure the integrity of your service.
Of course, all dishes should be combined among themselves, and executed in a unified style.
Now let's talk about the arrangement of dishes. For each guest it is necessary to put on a table a small dining room plate, on top of which a snack plate is placed. The knife is put on the right, the sharp side to the plate. Fork, respectively, on the left, concave side up. Glasses and glasses are placed in front of the plate in this order: a glass for mineral water, a glass for champagne, a glass for wine, a glass for strong drinks.
Tablecloth
Tablecloth also plays far from the last role in the table layout for the New Year. Let me give you some tips on how to pick it up. You can serve the New Year table on a plain tablecloth (often white, red or golden), on a tablecloth with a Christmas pattern, or without a tablecloth. Let's stop on the last option.
Another idea for covering the table is artificial snow. You can spray on the table artificial snow from the can, and after the New Year's Eve it's easy to throw it out. On artificial snow, fir twigs, toys, candles will look great. This idea is good for its originality.
Central composition
There are two options for decorating the central composition.
The first option is a dish. Of course, do not make the main emphasis on the salad "Olivier". This should be an original and truly crowned dish of the hostess. For example, a turkey, or any bird stuffed than the soul desires. Or a birthday cake. But this option is not suitable for everyone. Firstly, it's not common for everyone to bake cakes for the New Year, and secondly, the main decoration of the table should not be carried out at the end of the banquet.
The second option is decoration. You can buy a ready-made Christmas composition for the table in the store, or make it yourself. What can be included in such a craft? Yes, anything. Sprigs of fir, cones, Christmas toys, snowmen, candles, artificial snow, serpentine and many other New Year's attributes.
The rest, no less important trifles serving the New Year's table
Candles. For table layout for the New Year, it is better to use special New Year's candles. In the absence of such, you can most zadekorder
Napkins. For the purposes of serving the table by the New Year paper napkins are perfectly suitable. Moreover, they are now produced in all possible colors and sizes, and are also strong enough even when wet. Choose such napkins, so that they look at your tablecloth (or on what will replace it).
Table decoration. Arrange around the table small New Year figures (Santa Claus, Snowman, Christmas tree, etc.). They will give a special charm and comfort to your holiday.
