Table Setting Etiquette For Dinner Parties or Grand Celebrations


So, you're throwing a dinner party or celebrating a special occasion, and you want your table to look amazing! But where do you even begin? 



Don't worry, because this guide will walk you through the basics of table setting etiquette, from the essentials to some extra tips for making your table sparkle.



The Basics: A Layered Look

Think of your table setting like building a house – you need a strong foundation before adding the finishing touches. Here's what goes where, from the bottom up:


Tablecloth or Placemats: This is the base layer, like a carpet for your table. Choose a tablecloth that complements your theme and is the right size for your table. If you're going for a more casual look, placemats work great too.


Dinner plate: This is the main plate where your main course will be served. Place it in the center of where each guest will be sitting.


Salad plate: This smaller plate goes on top of the dinner plate and is usually used for salads or appetizers.


Bread plate: This is a small plate, usually placed above and to the left of the dinner plate, for bread or rolls.



Cutlery Corner: Forks, Knives, and Spoons, Oh My!

Now it's time for the cutlery – those fancy words for your forks, knives, and spoons. Remember, the utensils are used from the outside in, with the ones you'll use first being placed furthest from the plate. Here's a breakdown:

Knife: This goes to the right of the dinner plate, with the blade facing inwards.


Spoon: This goes to the right of the knife.


Fork: This goes to the left of the dinner plate, with the tines facing upwards.


Salad Fork: This is a smaller fork, usually placed above the dinner plate, on top of the salad plate.


Bonus Tip: If you're serving dessert, you can place the dessert spoon and fork above the dinner plate, horizontally, with the handles pointing towards the right.



Glass Act: Sparkling Up Your Beverages

Glasses are placed slightly above and to the right of the dinner plate. Here's a general guide:

Water glass: This is the largest glass and goes closest to the plate.


Wine glass: If you're serving wine, place the glass to the right of the water glass. Red wine glasses are usually larger than white wine glasses.


Note: You don't need to set a glass for every beverage you might offer. Only set the glasses you'll be using for the specific drinks you're serving.



The Finishing Touches: Adding Flair

Now comes the fun part – adding your own personal touch! Here are some ideas:

Napkins: These can be placed either on the left side of the plate or folded and placed in the center of the plate. You can even get creative with different napkin folding techniques.


Centerpiece: This is a decorative element placed in the center of the table. It can be anything from flowers or candles to a small decorative bowl. Just make sure it's not too tall or bulky, as it shouldn't obstruct conversation between guests.


Candles: Candles can add a warm and inviting ambiance, but make sure they're placed safely and away from anything flammable.


Place cards: These are small cards with guests' names written on them, placed in front of their respective seats. This is a nice touch for larger gatherings or formal occasions.


Extra Tips for Grand Celebrations

For special occasions, you can take your table setting up a notch with these additional tips:


Upgrade your tableware: If you have special occasion plates, glasses, or silverware, now's the time to use them!


Coordinating colours: Choose a colour scheme for your table setting and stick to it. This will create a cohesive and elegant look.


Add some sparkle: Use decorative elements like glitter, sequins, or metallic accents to add a touch of glamour.



Grand opening flowers: Flowers can add a beautiful and fragrant touch to your table. Choose flowers that are in season and complement your colour scheme.



Remember, the most important thing about table setting etiquette is to create a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere for your guests. Don't stress too much about perfection – just relax, have fun, and enjoy your celebration!

Dato’ Suriani Binti Dato’ Ahmad, Secretary-General to the Ministry of Entrepreneur Development & Cooperatives (KUSKOP) at the Grand Launch of Lewré Bespoke’s first flagship store - a 3.600 sq. ft galleria catered to provide consumers with an elevated, luxurious, and personalized retail experience like no other.


Floral theme concept with nice ambient that makes mouse mommy feeling relaxing and pamper while choosing the right pair of shoes.

 


As part of the launch, Lewré Bespoke enticed guests by unveiling the first look at its new exquisite shoe collection, ‘Garden of Eden’ inspired by the biblical tale from the book of Genesis, drawing on floral and animalistic aesthetics. The shoe collection features a versatile line-up of 18 designs, captivating just about anyone with a comprehensive palette. From striking blue and red hues to subtle nude and pink notes,  the new collection features eye-catching compositions that are certain to drop jaws on any occasion. 

 


The collection includes showstopping pieces with an elegant and bold design inspired by the peacock, as well as one that is  made up of a luscious flower with over 1,400 Austrian crystals hand stitched onto each striking petal. The designs are a reflection of Lewré Bespoke’s timeless and superior craftsmanship; all products are meticulously handcrafted, integrating its signature intricate beading and sophisticated design into each pair of shoes.


 

Lewré has long been established as a successful brand with its products sold in most major malls and department stores across Malaysia. While Lewré is targeted at the mass market, Lewré Bespoke is a sister brand that focuses solely on the high-end market, aimed at consumers who appreciate exclusivity and customization as portrayed in its slogan ‘It’s very personal’. Equipped with hi-tech scanners and AI technology, the Lewré Bespoke Flagship Store is able to acquire precise measurements for each patron to produce an immaculate pair of shoes, handmade to fit the customer’s every desire.

 


The launch of the flagship store coincides with the brand’s 25th-anniversary of its journey to establish itself as a world-class shoe production and retail company that is able to compete against top-tier brands internationally.



The brand has a targeted goal of establishing over 100 stores across Asia by 2025, which in addition to expanding the brand’s reach and presence will also have the added effect of promoting Malaysia’s retail sector across the region and boosting the country’s economy, in line with the Ministry of Entrepreneur Development & Cooperatives (KUSKOP)’s agenda.



As a pacesetter for homegrown fashion retail brands, Lewré Bespoke hopes that its endeavors will aid in driving Malaysia’s fashion industry forward and inspiring Malaysian entrepreneurs to venture worldwide to ultimately increase the demand for Malaysian brands across the globe.


Dato Lewré Lew, Founder of Lewré Bespoke shared, “The Garden of Eden collection is  where art, culture, and craftsmanship come together seamlessly. Our team continuously picks the best materials from around the world to bring you the best in the fashion industry. We have ensured that each and every pair of shoes is handcrafted with precision and care that caters to everyone no matter what your taste is.”

Happy Women’s Month With Nutox | Staying Young With Nutox Youth Restoring Advanced Serum Concentrate Surprise Gift and Rose!


In celebration of women this March, Nutox organised an event along the vibrant Jalan Bukit Bintang shopping strip featuring the “Youth Restoring Advanced Serum Concentrate”. The bustling street came alive with an interactive event in appreciation of women, as roses and Nutox’s youth-regenerating serum were handed out to selected shoppers travelling between landmark malls such as Pavilion, Fahrenheit 88, Starhill Gallery, and Lot 10.


 

Happy Women's month! Mouse mommy was feeling appreciated and thank you for the Nutox’s surprise gift! Lovely gift and rose!

 

Pablo Picasso once said, “Youth has no age”. Now modern women with busy lifestyles can be inspired by his words, by staying young with Nutox serum that has been tested and proven to accelerate firming and smoothening of skin in just 7 days. They can focus on being their best selves every day, without worrying about ageing skin – and this is the goal behind Nutox #beYOUthself.

 

“Nutox offers a cohesive youth restoring solution catering to different skin needs, which has been shown to have effective results. The Nutox Youth Restoring Advanced Serum Concentrate enhances the skin’s natural production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid to effectively defy the signs of ageing. Multi-generations of women can easily achieve smoother, firmer and youthful skin," shares Nutox Marketing Manager Ashley Sin.

 


“The serum comes in 2 variants – ‘ALL SKIN TYPES’ and ‘SENSITIVE SKIN’. The serum for ‘SENSITIVE SKIN’ uses a dermatologically-tested hypoallergenic formula with no added paraben, fragrance, colorant, mineral oil and alcohol,” Ashley Sin announced, hailing the products that have helped 97% of users achieve youthful looking skin in an astonishing 7 days.

 

Both products contain uniquely formulated agents, which include Actigenic+™, a self-regenerative system and breakthrough technology that regenerates skin cells, maintains and produces collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid effectively to improve skin’s elasticity. The serums also contain B’Nest Collagen™ – nutrients extracted from bird’s nest that help to improve skin condition and protect against visible signs of ageing. Additionally, the Oxyfusion™ technology infuses high level of oxygen into the skin to boost the absorption of B’Nest Collagen™.


 

The feather-light textured Nutox Youth Restoring Advanced Serum Concentrate penetrates deep into layers of skin. Its restorative benefits acts like a fountain of youth, making it a viable alternative to expensive and potentially risky cosmetic surgery to look younger.


 

The Nutox Youth Restoring Advanced Serum Concentrate 30ml is widely available at physical stores such as Watsons, Guardian, AEON Wellness, as well as online on Shopee and Lazada. The ‘ALL SKIN TYPES’ serum is available at RM86.70, while the ‘SENSITIVE SKIN’ serum is priced at just RM95.90.
