Dressing The Table For Christmas Dinner.............

[-SharonA-]

I would like your opinion and please don't mock.

Dressing the table of 8 settings for xmas dinner, I have a white tablecloth with a red runner long ways down the middle. I have red charger plates and white crockery. Stainless steel cutlery. Red napkins. Wines glassed on red coasters. A variety of red candles in the middle.

I want to put crackers on the table beside the cutlery.

What colour crackers would you buy???

[237SJ]

Red and white or red and silver

Personally I wouldn't but if pressed.............silver.

Tricky, can you get red and white ones? Or red and silver. If strapped,, I would go for silver and white - Morrisons etc. :)

Bloody hell, you sound like my missus with all that red!

Red and White sounds good. I nearly bought gold ones today, but when I thought about it, gold does not go with my table.

[Prudie]

Silver. Everyone (nearly) likes crackers.

[PankySmooch]

I always thought crackers were orange, Jacobs ones are anyway

I'll get me coat

Well,at risk of messing up your table, i think it would look lovely with a bit of greenery. Add a green floral arrangement with red berries and go for green and red crackers.

[Baldric]

Blue. (red, white and blue)

silver or white and each must be exactly spaced, as should be your cutlery and glasses, using a ruler to achieve this (or the back of a knife with your finger holding base position).

They use rulers in Royal households - and so do I.....
