How to Set a Table

Here you will learn how to set a table for a multiple course meal with varying pieces of silverware and stemware.

What you'll need:

• 2 Tablecloths
• 1 Cloth Napkin
• 1 Knife
• 1 Teaspoon
• 1 Dinner Fork
• 1 Salad Fork
• 1 Bread Plate
• 1 Butter Knife
• 1 Water Glass
• 1 Wine Glass

Lay the first tablecloth over the table in a rectangular fashion.

Lay the second tablecloth over the first in a diamond-like fashion.

Place your napkin centered directly in front of your chair on the edge of the table.

Place your first piece of silverware, the knife, directly to the right of your napkin with the "blade" facing inward.

Place the dinner fork directly on the left side of the napkin.

Place the salad fork directly to the left of the dinner fork.

Place the teaspoon directly to the right of the knife.

Place the bread plate directly to the left of the salad fork.

Place the butter knife at the top of the bread plate with the blade facing down the plate and pointing away from the napkin.

Place the water glass to the right of the knife and above the spoon.

Place the wine glass to the left of, but above the knife.

Repeat steps 3-12 in front of all seats at your table. Place a centerpiece in the middle of the table if you wish. You are now ready to serve a multiple course meal!
