Agree that a good party, in principle, can do without dancing till you drop or collective karaoke singing, but never without a beautifully laid table. Is it worth adding that the character of the serving and the style of decoration can tell a lot about what kind of celebration is conceived by the hosts and who is expected as guests.

It is very important to think over every detail: choose the appropriate for the occasion dishes and cutlery, complementing them with appropriate glasses in style, as well as take care of a competent arrangement of dishes and decorative ornaments. It is not very convenient to keep the conversation going if the interlocutor is barely visible behind a huge vase or, on the contrary, you are sitting next to him, shoulder to shoulder, like players of a football team in front of a decisive penalty. Hence the conclusion: the table setting should be not only aesthetic, but also functional.

Arranged with the "pauses" serving items allow you to enjoy the beauty of every detail and the ensemble as a whole. All the advantages of the composition must be emphasized with the right lighting - for this, the candles of various shapes and sizes are still simply irreplaceable. And finally, the most important thing is the wonderful mood of all those who have gathered, because ultimately it was for a pleasant meeting with friends that a festive extravaganza was started on the New Year's table, isn’t it? ..
