Lovely!
With a mind toward the amount of work to flip a table..I would eliminate the table decoration down the middle of the table, cover the white cloth with glass that could be "windexed" and forget the candles unless you plan to light them at some point. Without the chair covers, that should keep each table elegant yet simple enough that even a man would consider a bite to eat. Perhaps you could broaden your marketing to LUNCH and tea room. I know DH would not be enticed into a tea room without me dragging him along....he'd be thinking cucumber sandwiches and tea, neither of which he likes. But lunch and tea room brings to mind salads, soups and sandwiches. Lunch he would go for!

You are reading my mind! yes, we will be serving 'lunch' and offering a traditional victorian tea by reservation only ( I raised boys! When I told one of my sons about doing this he said... "Make sure you offer sandwiches").
The "extras' down the center of the table won't be there. The pic is from a 'Valentiens" dinner we did a few years ago. I am SERIOUSLY considering glass toppers. I mentioned this to my hubby. Depending on the cost!
We can do a laundry service for 20. / week. So I am SERIOUSLY considering that. No washing, drying, IRONING and folding! BIG help!
