✨✨✨ I’m no etiquette expert, but if you take the time to set a table for your guests, let’s at least set it properly. Save this post to reference on your next dinner party. ▪️ Start with the dinner plate. Layer the salad plate and then the soup bowl. ▪️ Directly left of the plates, place the larger dinner fork and smaller salad fork to its left. ▪️ Place the dinner knife on the right side of the plate, blade facing in. Lay the soup spoon to the right of the knife. ▪️ The dessert spoon or cake fork should go horizontally above the plate. ▪️ Set the water glass to the right of the plate, above the knife and spoon. Place the wine glass to the right diagonal (if you have room) from the water glass. ▪️ Your napkin can be placed on the center of the bowl or plate. Alternatively, you may lay it to the left of the forks. ✨✨✨ Extras I love to add: a decorative charger or place mat, themed napkin fold, fabric runner, fresh flowers, candles and a place card. ✨✨✨ Did I miss anything?
