I grew up "setting the table." It was nothing formal just the basics for a family of 6. Often setting the table included a simple centerpiece or a little decoration that had to do with the holiday.
Today, a simple table setting might include random miss-matched napkins, fresh snipped herbs in a mason jar and some sort of simple lights (especially for an evening gathering).
Evening alfresco is the perfect time to add lights and we love these solar lights from Sonnenglas. They are made out of mason jars. The solar energy is stored during the day so they will light up an evening gathering forever. What I liked about them is the ability to hang them on our arbor or chandeliers.
