Do you have an event at your house and don't know how to set the table? We show you how depending on the type of occasion: casual or formal.
- Only place the cutlery that will be used/needed at dinner - for example: if soup is not on the menu, do not place a spoon.
- Place the cutlery in the order that it will be used, starting from the outside.
- The fork sits on the left side of the plate and the knife on the right, always with the edge facing inward.
- Drinks are placed on the right side of the plate because they are always served and collected from the right.
- When dessert is to be served, the small spoon is placed on the top of the plate with the handle to the right, and if a small fork is also required it is positioned in the opposite direction.
