Dinner for Two

Click here to view a larger image.

Situate the table in an unusual location such as in front of a fireplace or in the foyer as a nice surprise when your partner enters the home.
The candles are lit, music is playing and a romantic dinner for two awaits. Best of all, it's in the warm embrace of your own home. Amidst the flurry of activities, a table for two may be just what you're looking for:
  • A lot of people don't want to go to big holiday or New Year bashes, but the occasions can still be very nice when celebrated at home. An intimate, romantic and special night in the midst of all the holidays is a nice break for just the two of you to have some one-on-one time together.
  • Lighting is important and the soothing glow of candlelight warms the spirit. Using fragrant candles brings even more ambiance to the setting.
  • When setting a table for two, it's really about the couple more than the table. It's the ambiance you're creating within the entire room. Whether using candles, flowers or crystal, the most important thing is being alone to savor the season.
  • Drape a shimmery gauze napkin over a gathered string of low-voltage lights for an alternative to candles on the table.
