A place for everything

Start at the centre

Place the dinner plate at the centre of each setting. Add a smaller plate or bowl when the meal calls for one.

Arrange the utensils

Set the fork to the left and the knife to the right with its cutting edge facing the plate. Add the spoon to the right when needed.

Finish with a glass

Place glassware above the plate, leaving comfortable space for reaching and conversation. Dinnerware, flatware and glassware are separate sets; check each included list.
