How to Place Cutlery on the Table

Correctly setting your tableware is a skill that can create a pleasurable dining experience. Whether you're hosting a casual family gathering or a formal event, knowing the correct way to set your tableware can make a big difference. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you master this art.

1. Understanding the Basics

The tableware should be placed in the order of dining. The tableware is arranged from the outside to the inside in the order of use.

2. Basic Table Setting Guidelines

l Forks on the Left: Place forks to the left of the plate. If you have multiple forks for different courses, arrange them from the outside in, starting with the salad fork and ending with the dinner fork.

l Knives and Spoons on the Right: Knives go to the right of the plate with the blade facing inward. Spoons are placed to the right of the knives.

l Dessert Cutlery: If serving dessert, the dessert fork and spoon are typically placed horizontally above the dinner plate.

3. Step-by-Step Guide

Ø Start with the Plates: Position the dinner plate in the center of the setting. Place a smaller plate for appetizers or salad on top if needed.

Ø Arrange the Forks: The salad fork is placed to the far left, followed by the dinner fork closer to the plate. If using multiple forks, arrange them in the order of use from the outside in.

Ø Position the Knives and Spoons: Place the dinner knife immediately to the right of the plate, with the blade facing in. The soup spoon goes to the right of the dinner knife. Additional knives and spoons can be added based on the menu.

Ø Add Dessert Utensils: The dessert fork and spoon should be placed horizontally above the dinner plate.
