Place Setting Ideas
- Name cards are a good idea for place settings. A good spot for them is just to the left of the drinking glasses.
- Water glasses go to the top right of a place setting. Arrange other glasses nearby in a triangular formation.
- For a centerpiece with a different look, fill a variety of clear glass vessels with colored water and float some candles.
- In China, a round table is thought to bring good fortune.
