Proper Table Setting - 

How to Set a Formal Table

Planning a dinner and need a reminder of 
how to set a proper table setting and 
where the cutlery should be placed around
 the tableware? Our lives are pretty hectic,
 and since 'tv' dinners have become the
 norm for some of us, it's easy to forget 
how to set a table and the proper table 
setting of tableware and cutlery. 
So here's a quick refresher to 
help you learn how to set a table
 for that 'perfect' dinner setting.


Top Row From Left to Right

• Bread plate with butter knife 
• (top left of dinner plate)
• Coffee cup (top right of dinner plate)
• Water glass
• Wine glass
• Liqueur glass

Bottom Row From Left to Right

• Salad fork
• Dinner fork
• Dessert fork
• Dinner plate with salad or soup bowl on it
• Knife
• Small spoon
• Soup spoon

Napkin placement depends on your preference,
 and there are many folding variations. 
As a default, it can be placed in
 the water glass as shown, folded 
on the dinner plate, or beside the
 flatware on the left. Some tableware
 pieces may of course be optional.
Setting a beautiful table is not difficult,
 nor do you need expensive tableware
 or silverware. Arrangement and 
creativity are the key to a pretty place setting.
