They're elegant enough to match the exquisite setup but ideal for initiating a casual chat.

The Spoon Sisters sell these flat cardboard eating utensils covered with gold and silver paper, cut to mimic elaborate metal detailing and printed with helpful text. The six-inch implements come in sets of 30 with different questions featured on each. "What is the most life-changing experience you've ever had?" asks one cutlery cue card. The Table Talk Teaspoons have the potential to launch a shy pair into a profound conversation quite quickly.
