My friend, Jennifer, and I hosted a Dinner for 8 at her house. You’ve heard me mention these fun, food and fellowship times with friends from church before. We had a fantastic, potluck meal, and Jen set a beautiful table.
I wanted to share her process for selecting a tablecloth because I don’t think it would have occured to me. She’s fortunate to have china, silver, and crystal that used to belong to her grandmothers.
The china has a multi-color, floral pattern wth gold trim that would have frightened me into using a white table cloth. Jen, however, wrapped up a bread plate, took it to the store, and tried it out with different colors.
The green she chose gave the table an up-to-date look that tied together the dishes, and the yellow in her chairs.

Fantastic tip. The tablecloth color rarely looks good with place settings once it is brought home.
