I LOVE to entertain (evidence: the 12' farmhouse table I built). We host lots of parties and holiday dinners so setting a table is my favorite way to decorate. All of these items are neutral and versatile enough to work for pretty much any table setting. If you start with basics like these, you can slowly add to your table setting collection with other colors and patterns. Click on the pictures below for a direct link to the product.

Shiplap Charger
Sawdust Angel Wood Boutique
I might be a bit biased since I make these chargers from real shiplap, but I think they're the perfect neutral base for your place settings.
White Plates
Walmart
White plates are always a good idea, and I love the extra detail of the scallops. Plus, you can't beat the price of this set of 6 plates.
Glass Plates
Amazon
Glass plates are a great way to keep the focus on other pieces of your place setting like the charger or napkin. You can even slip a place card underneath.
Napkins
Kitch Studios
Erin from Kitchen Studios makes the cutest napkins and hand towels. I love this set with different words on each because they go with everything.
Table Runner
IKEA
IKEA is my favorite place to shop for household basics. When setting a 12' table, I have to get creative so I love to lay 6 of these across the table.
Placemat
World Market
