How to prepare the table for Christmas Eve dinner
Do you have to be the host or hostess this Christmas Eve and do not know where to start?
Do not worry, the team Malena Events & Catering gives you a series of tips to prepare a Christmas Eve table with which you will surprise all your guests.
You can not lose this!
The style of the table.
To begin with, the first thing to be clear is the style we want to give to our table.
The tableware, tablecloths and decoration elements will vary depending on the character we choose.
If we opt for a more classic style, white will be the main protagonist combined with soft colors such as green, light blue or light golden touches.
As for the decoration, the wood mixed with natural plants, like Easter flowers, will be a good alternative.
If, on the contrary, you are looking for a more daring table, the colour It will be your great ally. To do this, dare to incorporate them on the table.
Of course, combining all colors can be too risky.
Before deciding on one or the other, do tests and choose the tones that best suit your home and Christmas decoration.
The distribution of the guests.
It does not always happen, but there are certain family environments or friends where it is convenient to leave some space between some people.
Only to avoid possible confrontations.
Therefore, to prevent tense situations we can choose ourselves the distribution of the table.
One way is place labels in chairs or dishes.
How? For example, with pieces of white cardboard placed a clothespin painted in a color that goes according to the decoration of the table.
Another option is to put Christmas balls in the dishes to which we tie a string or tie the label with the name.
There are many options!
How to place the crockery
If we are faithful to the protocol, a low plate, a flat plate and a deep plate should be placed on top.
If we are looking for more comfort, we can place the dishes in the food we are going to serve.
We should give clean plates when we change from the appetizers to the main course or main dish.
Regarding the cutlery, the same thing happens with the dishes.
The protocol establishes that cutlery is placed from the outside to the inside, according to the order in which we are going to use them.
On the right, the knives with the cutting side facing the plate; the spoon, always upwards; and the shovel for the fish in case it is served.
On the left side the forks will go.
The dessert will be the closest to the plate and on the outside, the normal fork.
If you prefer to "skip" the protocol, our advice is to do the same as with the dishes and distribute the forks according to the dish we are going to eat.
The cups.
The glasses and glasses are another of the big dilemmas at the time of preparing the table at Christmas.
They occupy a large space and not all the guests give utility to all of them.
Therefore, we recommend that before starting to eat or dinner and with all the guests sitting at the table, ask who will drink wine and water, who will drink only one thing ...
In this way, we can remove the glasses or glasses that are not going to be used and clear the table.
And finally, the dessert ...
Before serving dessert, it is very important that we make sure that all the guests have finished with their dishes.
To make it much more comfortable at lunchtime, we advise you to remove all the dishes that are on the table that are no longer going to be used.
The glasses, on the contrary, it is advisable to leave them in case someone wants to continue drinking.
Next, it will be time to place the plates and cutlery reserved for dessert.
For the moment of coffee, we can reserve the tray with nougat, chocolates, polvorones ...
