Selecting A Flatware Set For 8

How Can You Find a Flatware Set For 8 People?

Many people have been asking me about where they can find a flatware set for 8 people. What does a flatware set for 8 mean? It's important to understand that a flatware set for 8 is different than an 8 piece flatware set (an 8 pc set would probably only serve 1-2 people). In order to find a flatware set for 8, a little multiplication is required.

Most flatware sets come with 5 pcs per place setting. Most place settings consist of a dinner fork, a salad fork, a butter knife, a teaspoon and a tablespoon. This is the basic place setting for a normal flatware set (fancier sets exist with extra pieces, but they are harder to find). To have a flatware set for 8, you'll need a total of at least 40 pieces (8 * 5 = 40 piece set).

There are fancier flatware sets that contain 6 or more pieces of flatware per person. A flatware set for 8 people in this case would be found by multiplying again (8 people X 6 pcs = 48 pc set).

Every flatware set gives different bonus pieces. This means that in addition to the normal place setting for each person, the flatware set will throw in a few bonus pieces (like two serving spoons, a special butter knife, etc...). A flatware set for 8 people will have at least 40 pieces and usually won't have more than 53 pieces. Most of the time a flatware set for 8 will be a 45 pc flatware set.

Where is a flatware set for 8 sold? The Internet is a great place to find a premium flatware set for 8 at a reasonable price. The 45 pc flatware set is the most common flatware set for 8 people. 45 pieces of flatware are included in each of these sets. The standard 5 piece place settings are included in each set, plus a few single bonus items used for serving the table. The 45 pc flatware sets that I've used have been truly amazing.

One of the highest quality flatware manufacturers is Gingko. My top pick is the 45 pc set with platinum finish (I love seeing this on my table)! The most popular 45 pc flatware set for 8 is the Gingko stainless flatware set for 8. Our website visitors love the quality of this popular flatware set. Gingko also makes a mirror finish flatware set for 8 that looks really nice on the holiday dinner table. Each one of the Gingko sets is a similar price and quality and all are priced better than you can find in most offline stores. - 30289
