6. Set the table
Ditch the everyday cutlery and pull out the items you’ve been saving for special occasions. That means a favorite tablecloth or runner, grandma’s plates or rarely used crystal glasses. Bring out the cloth napkins and candles.
This shouldn’t feel like a chore, but a time to appreciate the finer things you have at home. Treat it as a creative project and have family members take turns playing with colors, mixing and matching china, and experimenting with centerpieces. If you have kids, have them make place cards. It will make meals feel like an event.
