When you are entertaining, whether it’s a formal sit-down dinner or a casual party, the right dinnerware is an absolute must. Different occasions call for different types of dinner services and wine glasses. It’s a good idea to have stemware and tableware for formal and casual events. Here are some tips to choose the right serveware for any occasion. Formal Events For a formal event, classic white dinnerware is a good choice. You can create a beautiful tablescape by contrasting the pristine white plates with a dark-hued tablecloth. For added elegance, you can opt for a dinner service with a band of gold or platinum around the rims. Opt for a formal dinner service with six to eight place settings, so you can have enough plates and bowls for all your guests. Include both red wine glasses and white wine glasses in your stemware collection. A red wine glass has a fuller and broader bowl than a white wine glass. A sparkling wine glass such as a flute or a coupe is essential for toasting on special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries. Casual Events For a casual get-together, choose fun dinnerware in different colors and patterns. Botanical prints and unique hand painted dinnerware are some unique options. A casual dinner service will have four to six place settings. It will usually include dinner plates, salad plates and soup bowls. Some dinner sets will also have tea cups and saucers. Stoneware is an excellent choice for a casual dinner service. Serve wine in a stemless wine glass at casual occasions. Stemless wine glasses are ideal for serving various white wines such as Chardonnay and Pinot Grigios. Outdoor Events Choose durable, break-proof dinnerware for outdoor dining. Use shatterproof dinner plates for occasions such as pool parties, backyard barbeques and picnics. You can choose from materials such as melamine or organic material like bamboo and wood. You can opt for square or round plates for outdoor dining. Choose wine glasses made from unbreakable material like polycarbonate for outdoor events. Plastic glasses are the perfect choice for outdoor entertaining, as they are shatterproof yet offer excellent clarity. The key to a successful event is to choose the right dinnerware for the right occasion.
