How to give padding to Table tag in Bootstrap? – Twitter bootstrap

In my projects that I use twitter bootstrap some times I need to give padding or margin to a Table tag .
So I code something like this :

#table-parent {
    padding-top: 50px;     /* <---- Padding that moved down the hole Table */
}


td {                                          /*****************************/
    padding: 10px;                            /*****************************/
    text-align: center;                       /**** JUST THE CSS STYLES ****/
    border-left: 1px #575757 solid;           /****    NOT IMPORTANT    ****/
    border-right: 1px #575757 solid;          /*****************************/
}                                             /*****************************/
                                              /****       OPTIONAL      ****/
                                              /*****************************/
tr:nth-child(1) {                             /*****************************/
    background: silver;                       /*****************************/
}
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<div id="table-parent">
    <table class="table table-striped">
        <tr>
            <td>Title 1</td>
            <td>Title 2</td>
            <td>Title 3</td>
        </tr>

        <tr>
            <td>Value A</td>
            <td>Value B</td>
            <td>Value C</td>
        </tr>

        <tr>
            <td>Value AA</td>
            <td>Value BB</td>
            <td>Value CC</td>
        </tr>
    </table>
</div>

You see I padding the div that is the parent of table .
But I don’t like this …
I want to give padding directly to the table tag . Something like this :

table {
  padding-top: 50px;
}



td {                                          /*****************************/
    padding: 10px;                            /*****************************/
    text-align: center;                       /**** JUST THE CSS STYLES ****/
    border-left: 1px #575757 solid;           /****    NOT IMPORTANT    ****/
    border-right: 1px #575757 solid;          /*****************************/
}                                             /*****************************/
                                              /****       OPTIONAL      ****/
                                              /*****************************/
tr:nth-child(1) {                             /*****************************/
    background: silver;                       /*****************************/
}
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<table class="table table-striped">
    <tr>
        <td>Title 1</td>
        <td>Title 2</td>
        <td>Title 3</td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
        <td>Value A</td>
        <td>Value B</td>
        <td>Value C</td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
        <td>Value AA</td>
        <td>Value BB</td>
        <td>Value CC</td>
    </tr>
</table>

    Use margin-top: 50px; instead of padding-top: 50px;

    table {
  margin-top: 50px;
}



td {                                          /*****************************/
    padding: 10px;                            /*****************************/
    text-align: center;                       /**** JUST THE CSS STYLES ****/
    border-left: 1px #575757 solid;           /****    NOT IMPORTANT    ****/
    border-right: 1px #575757 solid;          /*****************************/
}                                             /*****************************/
                                              /****       OPTIONAL      ****/
                                              /*****************************/
tr:nth-child(1) {                             /*****************************/
    background: silver;                       /*****************************/
}
    <link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<table class="table table-striped">
    <tr>
        <td>Title 1</td>

        <td>Title 3</td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
        <td>Value A</td>
        <td>Value B</td>
        <td>Value C</td>
    </tr>

    <tr>

    if you want to use padding for a table you should set border-collapse: separate; on it.

    table {
  padding-top: 50px;
  border-collapse: separate!important;
}



td {                                          /*****************************/
    padding: 10px;                            /*****************************/
    text-align: center;                       /**** JUST THE CSS STYLES ****/
    border-left: 1px #575757 solid;           /****    NOT IMPORTANT    ****/
    border-right: 1px #575757 solid;          /*****************************/
}                                             /*****************************/
                                              /****       OPTIONAL      ****/
                                              /*****************************/
tr:nth-child(1) {                             /*****************************/
    background: silver;                       /*****************************/
}
    <link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<table class="table table-striped">
    <tr>
        <td>Title 1</td>
        <td>Title 2</td>
        <td>Title 3</td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
        <td>Value A</td>
        <td>Value B</td>
        <td>Value C</td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
        <td>Value AA</td>
        <td>Value BB</td>
        <td>Value CC</td>
    </tr>
</table>
