What’s Table Setting/ Styling?
Table setting (laying a table) or place setting refers to the way to set a table with tableware—such as eating utensils and for serving and eating. The arrangement for a single diner is called a place setting. It is also the layout in which the utensils and ornaments are positioned. The practice of dictating the precise arrangement of tableware has varied across cultures and historical periods.
Why Table Styling is important?
The way you set your table is important, because it influences three things:
> It indicates the tone/feeling that people have about being together.
> It lets people know that you think they are important enough to put in extra effort for them.
> It influences the appearance of the food served.
Restaurants create an atmosphere by the way they set the table.
The food is not too much different between some restaurants but the atmosphere is. Meals eaten at home can have a wonderful atmosphere. Whether you eat at the kitchen table, a card table, counter top, a dining room table, or on TV trays the atmosphere can be influenced by doing the following:
Dimming the lights.
> Providing soft background music.
> Using flowers or other attractive centerpieces.
> Using your imagination___tuck a flower in each napkin, place a potted plant or figurine on a place mat, use silk or real flowers, use candles.
> The tableware needed for each placesetting includes dinnerware, glassware and flatware.
People are often judged by the manners they display:
Manners are decided by society. History has stated them as adapted from royalty. Many books on etiquette have been written, some including such things as the type of earring match that is best with a particular table setting. Know that manners differ from one culture to another.
Is it important to comply with the standards of proper etiquette?
Yes, because we are judged by our manners___either good or bad.
Place___at the table
Why?___because we are close to people and our eating should be well mannered or we could be considered gross. Also conversation is usually intense at a meal and people should be enough at ease with how to proceed with eating that concentration can really center on the other people and personalities at the table.
Examples: TV and movie shows sometimes depict good and bad manners.
