It's best to express your party flair in ways that
will amaze your friends, not confuse them. In other words, no reworking of
the "how to set the table" formula. It has served us well for
years, and yet, some guests might still have a hard time remembering that
when it comes to flatware, you work from the outside in. Don't make it any
more difficult with attempts to get creative. However, if a guest does
commit a dining faux pas -- say, mistaking the finger bowl for a cup of
consommé -- you'll earn said guest's eternal gratitude if you
pick yours up, take a sip, and say, "Cheers to an unforgettable
evening."
