SOUND FAMILIAR?

The real problem is never actually named

The occasion never gets read clearly

A table gets set without first deciding how formal the actual event calls for.

Casual gets treated as an afterthought

Everyday and buffet settings get skipped past instead of planned with real care.

Formal gets overdone out of nerves

Extra pieces get added past what the courses actually require, tipping into overkill.

Confidence never builds around the choice

Without a clear read, the same uncertainty repeats every time a table gets set.
