Tablecloth and napkins
Don’t think that no one will pay attention to the tablecloth if the table is laden with dishes and decorated with various New Year’s attributes. It plays an important role in creating an overall style solution, so the choice should be approached thoughtfully.
It is advisable that the tablecloth and napkins be made of natural fabrics: cotton, linen, vegetable silk, matting.
Linen tablecloths are considered an expensive accessory. They look very presentable and are great for special occasions. Cotton ones are a more budget-friendly option, but additional decorations in the form of prints, embroidery, and openwork inserts give the tablecloth a festive, elegant look.
Silk tablecloths look very attractive due to the decorative properties of the fabric. Matting or jute is a simple material at first glance. But a tablecloth made of this fabric can look very organic with the appropriate surroundings and serving.
A win-win option is a white starched tablecloth. It always looks solemn and appropriate. You can put a wide strip of colored fabric, plain or with an ornament, and napkins made of the same material in the middle of the table. If you want to set the table with something more original, you should choose a plain tablecloth: yellow, orange, red.
It is advisable to take napkins that are contrasting or in the same color scheme. You can use New Year's themed napkins, fabric or paper. The tablecloth can also have a New Year's pattern. In this case, you should be careful with the choice and quantity of decorations, otherwise the table will look tacky.
Linen napkins can be rolled into a tube and threaded into a special ring. Originally folded napkins will become an additional table decoration. There are many ways to fold paper and linen napkins. For beginners, you should not choose too complicated methods, since even when folded, napkins should look neat, ironed and clean. Here are a couple of examples of folding napkins:
Christmas tree
- Fold the napkin in half with a horizontal fold.
- Place the top left-bottom corner on the bottom right corner. On the left side you will get a triangle.
- Fold the triangle in half.
- Place the lower right corner on the left. You will get a triangle.
- Fold the triangle in half.
- Place the figurine vertically.
Fish
- Fold the napkin diagonally with the angle down.
- Bend the bottom corner up to the fold.
- Bend the top corners down 45º.
- Fold both sides to a vertical line in the middle of the figure.
- Turn over.
You can carefully fold a linen napkin into a bow or fan and secure it with a special ring. You should also be creative when choosing a napkin ring. To create a festive mood, fantasy rings with images of New Year's characters are suitable. You can show your artistic talents and make accessories yourself from available materials.
What to cook?
When creating a menu for a holiday, you cannot skimp; Yellow Pig loves luxury. To appease her for the whole next year, you need to take a more responsible approach to choosing dishes.
We prepare original dishes and snacks
The following should be present on the table:
- Several types of salads.
- Interesting snacks.
- Original main course.
- Dessert.
The main thing is that it is tasty and appetizing
Since the pig will be the patroness, meat dishes should be present on the table. To prepare delicious treats you need to use a variety of ingredients. No guest should leave the festive table hungry or dissatisfied with the prepared dishes.
It is best if there are hot and cold appetizers from chicken, beef, and fish on the table. To dress salads, you can use not only the usual mayonnaise, but also other original sauce recipes, including olive oil. Each dish should be tasty, but not difficult to prepare. The Earth Pig likes things to be simple and fast.
You need to remember about meat - everyone should have it
The hostess does not need to cook so that the festive table is bursting with New Year's dishes. All you have to do is make just enough for your guests to eat in one magical night. It is better to spend more time setting the table so that it makes a positive impression on the symbol of the coming year.
We need to celebrate next year as it should be. Despite the fact that the pig is an omnivore, vegetables and cereals must be present on the festive table. You should give up exotic salads in favor of the usual Olivier and Shuba. As for desserts, preference should be given to various pies and rolls. Vases with chocolates in golden foil will look very beautiful.
What's a holiday without sweets?
Yellow fruits should also be present on the table. Among them:
- bananas;
- apples;
- oranges;
- tangerines;
- lemons;
- a pineapple.
Yellow fruit must be present
Advice Dishes prepared for the New Year's table should be tasty, simple and beautiful. Thanks to this, the patroness of next year will be favorable throughout the next year.
Dishes
When talking about serving, we can’t help but talk about dishes. For a festive feast, as a rule, they take out the most beautiful service. When displaying plates and glasses, remember that they must be perfectly clean, so after washing, be sure to wipe them dry with a towel. You need to cover for as many people as you invite.
Of course, if the dinner is going to be a family gathering, you may not need the entire set of forks, spoons and plates. However, if you want to impress your guests, then prepare for everyone:
- a large serving plate in which containers with appetizers, soups and hot dishes will be placed;
- a pie plate with a butter knife;
- spoon for first course;
- forks for seafood and for the main course;
- table-knife;
- dessert spoon and fork;
- glass for water;
- glasses for champagne, white and red wines.
Knives are placed on the right with the cutting side facing the plate, forks are placed on the left with the convex part down.
Next year's hostess will definitely appreciate it if you show creativity when serving. For example, if you tie the cutlery with a beautiful ribbon or decorate the stems of wine glasses.
What to meet?
The Earth Pig loves to be the center of attention. She is impressed by luxurious and bright outfits. Therefore, for a meeting you need to choose only the most chic outfits and accessories. Under no circumstances should you wear an old item from last year to a holiday.
Gold is the main color of this year
The main color of the outfit for the New Year 2021 is gold . It must be present on festive clothing for both men and women. If you don’t want to completely dress in gold, you can choose a light accent or accessory in a golden hue:
- brooch;
- hairpin;
- belt.
There can never be too much decor, even here
All decorations must be selected from natural materials. It is better to choose a dress in soft, delicate colors. Among them:
- coffee;
- terracotta;
- peach;
- beige.
The meeting directly depends on how you arrange and decorate the table
DIY New Year's table setting in light green/light green
Green is another traditional color for New Year's celebrations. Setting the festive table in green and light green will be a laconic continuation of the main decoration of the celebration - the New Year tree.
Give free rein to your imagination, cover the table with a green tablecloth, place green glasses and plates on it, adding decorative Christmas trees in the center of each dish. This design also needs a contrast of colors, so combine green accessories with light colors.
Conclusion
The holiday will give many bright and positive emotions to all family members, and will also have a positive impact on all areas of life in the coming year. But preparing decorations and organizing the table is a very tedious task for every housewife. To make a truly luxurious holiday, you will have to spend a large amount of money, which will negatively affect the family budget. If you prepare well in advance and think through all the nuances of the holiday, you can have an enchanting and unforgettable New Year’s Eve 2019.
