easiest ever!
Hosting Easter brunch
is a breeze with these table-setting tips, recipes, cooking timeline and restaurant-quality Hy-Vee Easter
meal packs.
The Traditional Table
set a gorgeous tablescape for any size crowd.
1
Keep decor in one color family, such as reds and pinks.
Add more “white space” by putting all silverware on one side of the plate.
2
Keep floral arrangements and centerpieces low
so guests can see
each other.
3
space & tone
Designate each guest’s space by setting chairs an equal distance apart. Follow traditional table-setting guidelines, or create your own—as long as each guest’s space is identical, the table will appear harmonious.
Set a plate directly in front of each guest’s chair. Include a charger (decorative plate) underneath, if desired. Place a salad plate on each dinner plate. Place bread plates above and to the left of dinner plates.
dishware
Set forks to the left of the plate and knives and spoons to the right of the plate. Place utensils in order of use (eg, the salad fork would go farther from the plate than the dinner fork). Line up all silverware at the bottom for a symmetrical appearance.
silverware
Water glasses go to the right and above the plate. Place wine glasses to the right of the water glasses. Like utensils, wine glasses are to be placed in the order they will be used if there will be multiple wines served.
