Dinner Table Talk

We all need to feel like we are on the top of someone’s list every single day. Family dinner time is the most vital time you have together of the day. You can make someone feel extremely important, loved and cared for at dinner time. So let’s make it happen as often as possible—together! Dinner time needs to happen as often as you can throughout the week— but how do you do it? Who says you can’t have an elegant dining experience for under $10? I can show you how to feed your family of 6 for under $10 and why dinner time is so important. This is the first chapter of many, with ideas, statistics and testimonials, all about dinner. This first chapter, ‘How to Set a Table for Royalty’ is going to get you ready for a special dinner experience for under $10.

So this is how it’s done. You need to find a cheap table cloth. You can find plain material or even one at a second hand store, but I like SALES. I love after Christmas sales. I purchased a red tablecloth that I can use all year long especially at Valentines and 4^th of July week. This table cloth was $7.50, half off. Even better it was too big for my table so I got an added bonus of 8 napkins, a table runner and a decorative hand towel. I also bought a candle set for 80% off =$2.50 so that would take my grade total to $10. Have fun, make it meaningful, make it memorable. Here’s how to do it—

You may need a yard stick.
Step #1-I measured out my table cloth and cut it to the size of my table, as the table cloth I got on clearance was too big. I hemmed the one raw edge and my table cloth was done. #2 With the left over material I measured out 8 napkins 13x13. I had enough for a table runner and decorative towel.
