When you hold a festive celebration on the occasion of your anniversary, you enter the role of mistress and must be ideal and hospitable. It is necessary to think in advance not only the evening menu, but also how your festive table will look for the anniversary. And this is very important.

Where to set the table

Registration of the festive table for the anniversary is a kind of passing the exam on the art of decoration and serving according to the rules of etiquette. However, following the generally accepted guidelines, do not forget about your personality. According to the etiquette, the festive table is placed in the middle of the room. But it is not necessary to strictly follow this rule. In the spring, when the nature comes to life, put the furniture closer to the window, and in winter, on the contrary, to the wall, in order to arrange a candlelight dinner in a dark room . Of course, it is possible, as was customary in Soviet times, to push the table to the sofa, but do not choose such an option as the only possible, even if you live in a small apartment.
