Surely, many times you have been invited to an elegant lunch or dinner. Perhaps you yourself have been put in the position of the host. Most likely, you too have wondered what dining etiquette you should follow. Table manners are important, but just as important is setting the table for your guests.
Placing the cutlery at the table
If you are going to host a formal dinner, then it is recommended to follow some rules. To begin with, you need to place a plate in the center of the decoration and put the forks to the left of the plate, the knives and spoons will be placed to the right of it.
Cutlery should be placed in the order in which it will be used, starting from the outside. The knife blades should face the plate and the fork tips should face upwards, say the etiquette experts.
The dessert fork and spoon should be placed on top of the set, with the fork pointing to the right and the spoon on top of the fork, pointing to the left.
If you are going to serve salad and soup, it is recommended to place the salad plate on top of the main plate, and on top of the salad plate you should place the soup bowl.
The napkin should be folded in a simple way and placed on the side of the main plate. Next is the arrangement of the glasses.
The water glass and wine glass should be placed to the right of the plate set, just above the table knife. If you are serving red wine as well as white wine, it is recommended to include a glass for each type of wine.
Nothing says “special occasion” better than a white linen tablecloth. The tablecloth should fall at least a foot below the top of the table and should be no closer than 6 inches from the ground, say the specialists.
