Video Transcript

"Hello I'm Jennifer Cail and on behalf of Expert Village I'm going to show you how to set your table for Thanksgiving Day dinner. Now that we have our linen set including the napkins in different napkin folds you need to figure out how many different courses you are going to have for your Thanksgiving dinner. Now if you are just going to have where all the food is put out at once then that make a big difference then you are going to have separate courses. If you have separate courses you can have different plates coming out at different times. For instances if you are going to have a salad course, a dinner course and then dessert you may start with your plate and then have a salad plate on top of it. Because once the salad course is over you are going to take this plate away and it makes for a much different place setting then you are going to have everything at once. Where you want to have room so people can have there different plates out at the same time. If you are going to have multiple courses you may also may want to consider how many extra plate you are going to need and how many extra silverware pieces you are going to need. Because chances are people are not going to want to use the same fork for 3-4 different courses. "
