How To Set Up A Romantic Dinner

1) Decide where you would like to have dinner, outside in the garden under the bright moonlight or on the terrace/verandah. Or you could arrange it in your dinning room.
2) Select an elegant table linen, with napkins good china and cutlery.
3) You can make or purchase a small flower arrangement to suit the color of your table linen. Don’t choose a large arrangement because it will be in the way of your conversation. You face could get hidden behind the flowers.
4) Set your table neatly. If you do not know how to place the cutlery refer to any book on table settings or websites.
5) Include candles on your table for the optimum romance. Try using several votive candles or tea lights rather than two tall taper candles. They will keep your view of your partner open and create a romantic glow.
6) Use attractive serving dishes and platters and keep the pots and pans in the kitchen. Even if you decide to order food from your favorite restaurant, don’t serve food in plastic boxes or cartons. Keep them in serving platters and keep them warm.
7) Welcome your partner by seating him or her and placing the napkin in his or her lap. Make it feel like a romantic restaurant that is opened just for the two of you.
