Different Types of Dinner Sets

Dinner sets are mandatory in every house. The lady of the house has to entertain guests very often and often not for the same reasons. There might be the kid's birthday party or the colleagues of her husband might drop over. She might be arranging a kitty party for her friends while someday, older relatives might come over to discuss important issues. In such cases, the cutlery plays an important role. The décor on the dining table and the dinner sets complement each other to create the perfect look and the atmosphere for which the dinner is arranged.

For all these separate occasions, there are different kinds of dinner sets to choose from. First, the choices are there in the material from which they are made. Bone china and glass are the most common choice for formal occasions. For the children, there might be colorful thick plastic plates and saucers. Those who prefer to serve the Indian food in the Indian manner can also opt for stainless steel "thalis" and the bowls. For everyday use, there are non- breakable fiber glass cutlery and dinner sets to choose from. Melamine is fast becoming a hot favorite for its unbreakable nature and yet for its bone china or glassy look. It is also a great boon while doing the dish washing in a hurry.

Next comes the print on the cutlery. Stainless steel has no issues. Some prefer absolutely white dinner sets with a thin black or golden line running around the edge. That looks very classy, but for those who think it's a bit too stark and stoic, they can opt for lightly printed dinner sets. There might be small flowers or other motifs drawn in light pastel shades. For the children, you can choose from attractive colors and cartoons. They love eating from a Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck plate.

Innovation has been brought about in the shapes of the plates, saucers and bowls as well. Geometrical shapes, with neat lines and bold colors are much in favor with the young people today. It gives a clutter free impression. Cartoon shaped bowls and plates are also available for the children. People with any kind of budget can easily afford them.

The traditional shapes and colors are still widely available, but so many options definitely give the hostess the chance to flaunt her culinary skills in a very attractive way.
