On Valentine's Day, all couples have an occasion to express their emotions in a romantic language of dishes. When planning to set the table for February 14, people are thinking about how to give the design maximum tenderness, love, sincerity. At such moments, you always want the one and only person (it doesn’t matter whether this is a girl or a guy) to feel the warmth of a loving soul.

Features of serving for Valentine's Day

There are no separate table setting rules for February 14th. The holiday, which arrived in Russia not so long ago, does not limit a person who wants to open his feelings in the established canons. On the contrary, a lover, burning with a desire to impress his chosen one, can safely introduce the most original fantasies, set the table with love and tenderness. For this, diverse decorative elements, floral arrangements, and decorations made from natural or synthetic materials will come to the rescue.

However, a table setting culture should still be present. The basic rules are:

The tablecloth needs to be carefully ironed and carefully laid (no oilcloths). Its corners evenly fall near the legs, covering them at least 25 cm, but not lower than the knees of a seated person.
Do not be afraid of special plates. Their choice depends only on the assortment of dishes.
Knives and spoons are located on the right of the plates, and forks on the left. The location of several knives is as follows: next to the plate is a table, then fish, the final - a snack. Forks - in the same way, only the other way. The distance between the devices is about 1 cm.
Behind the plates on the right are glasses, in sequence from larger to smaller. Fingerprints should not be on them.

The question often arises whether it is worth using a full serving on Valentine's Day. It all depends on the compiled menu.

If you want to calmly and sincerely communicate with your loved one, treating him with a light salad and quality wine, there will be enough simple utensils. If you want to impress with your culinary abilities, a complete serving set will be a harmonious addition to the rich menu.

To set the table beautifully for Valentine's Day means to decorate it in a romantic style, using the appropriate decor. Since the couple in love will be present at the table only together, they should sit opposite each other. So it’s more natural to communicate with a person without losing sight of his face. In addition, it is more convenient to impose dishes without touching the elbows of the interlocutor.
