Hostess Tips: Serving a sit-down dinner by candlelight provides a romantic atmosphere perfect for this occasion. For a festive touch, provide a single rose in a small bud vase at each place setting. Set the table with plenty of candles of mixed-n-matched sizes and holders to create a romantic ambiance.
