TABLE SETTING

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



  • Very Pretty
                                                                  

    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.
