Questions On Table Settings

Okay need a little help, although my wedding is next October Im trying to work out some of the minor things now. So my dilema is the fact that my FI is southern and italian so its a real interesting combo. He wants to offer options on dinner and Im okay with that its just he wants to do a pasta with shrimp and a smothered chicken option. But if I do that what would be the proper place setting Im not trying to get a planner cause my budget lacks but Im just not sure. Can someone help me out please?

Re: Questions On Table Settings

  • I'm curious as to how a sex instructor is a virgin?
  • What do you mean place setting?  Usually the meals are buffet style or sit down meals where it is served to your guest.

  • Do you mean what type of flatware you need to use? That mainly depends on the number of courses, not the course itself, unless it is very specialized. 
    my read shelf:
    Meredith's book recommendations, liked quotes, book clubs, book trivia, book lists (read shelf)

    [QUOTE]Hey guys and gals new here, but thought i might give a little input. 1. Do you speak any languages other than English? Yes, I do I speak fluent French, Spanish German, Catala, Greek and A little Mandarin.  Sorry bit of an overachiever. 2. Where did you go on honeymoon/plan to go on honeymoon/imagine one day planning on going on honeymoon?  I dont really care as long as its warm and secluded so my FI and I can get freak nasty for the first time ever. Ive read a lot so I have lots of ideas for what I want to do to him and have him do to me. 3. What did you eat for dinner tonight?  Filet Mignon, greek salad, poached pears and red wine 4. If you could only keep one thing in presently in your purse forever, what would it be?  my fuzzy handcuffs and my whip and before yall ask why i would have such things in my purse Im a bit of a sexual instructor. 5. Have you ever bought anything off the knot? why/why not... Not just yet but i have a list a mile long of things i want And Mizri I like your style if I wasnt still a virgin Id probably keep a bullet too in my purse. I hope no one thinks badly of me for saying so.

  • I'm curious how you guys remember all these random, werid quotes from people!

    If you are doing a buffet (which I would recommend doing since you can get a wide variety of food that way and guests can pick and choose exactly what they want... which they may wanna do if they have different preferences) then just lay out the setting with standard salad, food, and appetizer dishes, along with silverware for meat, salad, dessert, etc and a goblet for water and a wineglass for wine (I'm assuming you Italians will have wine, yes? :P )
  • If you have your event catered, your caterer will tell you what you need.

    And please answer Roxy's question. This is critical information.
  • I don't really know why being both Southern and Italian is "interesting." Half of my firnds are Italians, and I live in the deep south. Neither of the dinner options he suggested is out of the norm, and if you do a seated dinner, I think whichever place settings your venue offers would be fine for either. Or do those as a buffet option.

  • Ms Mery Mac thank you for your help it was a flatware situation not so much setting, I really do thank you but now the question I pose to you is do I lay out a full flatware setting or do I let the flatware come out along side the plate?

    And as for you Roxy please cease and desist your ongoing rampage of my life. I dont require your approval nor do I desire it. Its my life and I am a grown woman.
  • Kikipania- the quote just happened 10 minutes ago

    Petticoat- I don't recall rampaging your life? IMO, that would be at least weeks of work not 10 minutes.
  • If you would like to know I teach the art of gag supression and the glories of anal intercourse. And Im sorry for having to answer this on an ettiquiette board some women just are uncouth. 
  • Take it to snarky please Roxy this is not the place for it
  • Hahaha this thread had so little potential and yet it got SO GOOD.
  • Oh yes maam! I am ever so sorry
  • edited May 2010
    Hahahahaha! Yes Roxy, how dare you bring such a vile topic to E of all places! And I agree that a rampage on someone's life has to be > 10 min. and also consist of more than 3 posts.

  • Oh I knew I had a PM scolding coming.

  • Ooh, share? Is this where she reveals she really is Mizri?

  • Okay maybe rampage was a little much but I really didnt appreciate having it brough t up in my etiquiette board. 
  • I don't know, people keep getting scolded for sharing PM's but I feel like trolls are an exception...
    She did not reveal her mizry

  • im not miziri i dont know what i have to do to prove this to you.
  • PMs from trolls are always acceptable.

    She should know you can't be trusted with her super secret information!
  • I've assumed she is a troll.

    "Hello
    My dearest darling I do not believe that my etiquiette page a place to ask such a question. And if you must know those cant do teach I only know the pleasures of myself and not that of my gentleman callers. "

  • Whoa, that font is all kinds of jacked up. Why does she keep calling it her "ettiquiette" board?

  • Her font was wonky but not that wonky. Not sure what happened.
    I'm not sure, I did not know she owned the board. I hope she does not banish me forever
  • I think she is confusing "board" with "thread."  At least it isn't "blog."

    Would it be completely out of line to ask her these questions on SB?  I mean, she said to take it there.
  • This sh!t just got real.

    Btw, I'm always so interested when people consider themselves virgins after having anal sex. Your as.s just got penetrated.... Literally.
  • You absolute heinous women Ive tried being nice but you dont get that. I hope it rains cats and dogs on all of your nuptuals and that your limos and cars taking you to your receptions and weddings have flat tires and may the carriage wheels also fall off. 
  • Wow, Petticoat.  I would have suggested lurking a while on the boards, people can get mean on TK.  Sorry you're getting called a troll.  You really do need a thick skin over here.  I usually just let it roll off my back.  Besides, these are people you'll never meet.  Don't let them get to you.
