• Choose a unique charger plate that helps complement the decor of your kitchen dining table and adds visual interest to the overall feel of your event. Consider the type of plates, bowls, drink glasses, silverware, serving plates, and bedding you plan to use, then choose a glass charger plate that balances those styles. Don't forget the tablecloth, fabric overlays, flower arrangements, and centerpieces to be placed directly next to the service plates.
• Put a wedding charger plate in the corresponding place of each guest. Place it on top of the tablecloth or placemat, between the arranged cutlery, and under the drink glasses. The chargers should be within two feet of each other so that guests have enough elbow room.
• Line up menu cards, napkins with napkin rings, or business cards in the center of the charger plate for use before dinner service.
• When the guests are ready to be served, soup plates, salad plates, and main dishes are placed directly on top of the charger.
• After each course, the service plates must be cleaned or replaced to maintain the purity of the table.
