How to set a table?
Is table setting an art or a science? This is the answer we have been looking for for years.
The kitchen is full of cutlery, and we seem to be unable to start work. But when your friends and family show up at your dinner party, how to set the table is a must-learn skill.
Secondly, hosting a dinner for family and friends is a great joy in life. When a group of us slow down, sit at the table, and enjoy a pleasant dinner quietly, then the food on the table is not that important. What is important is how to set up a beautiful table, suitable occasions, and how to match is particularly important in Face all kinds of tableware in the kitchen.
How to set the table used to be a common sense, but in today's fast-changing world, knowing how to set the table has become a collecting skill. The etiquette of western food is very strict. This is not only the layout, there are some details that require extra attention.
Different table settings
Basic Dinner Table Setting
If you are preparing for dinner every day or breakfast on weekends, you may want to know how to set the table correctly. For leisure activities, you only need a set of basic tableware: placemats, cutlery (forks, knives and spoons), a plate, a water glass and a napkin.
1. Lay a placemat on the table.
2. Place the dinner plate in the center of the placemat.
3. Place the fork on the left side of the plate.
4. Place the knife on the right side of the plate, and then place the spoon on the right side of the knife.
5. Put the water cup on top of the knife, in the upper right corner.
6. The napkin can be placed on the top of the dinner plate or under the fork.
Formal Dinner Table Setting
If you want to prepare a formal dinner and give guests a distinguished experience, the first thing to pay attention to is the layout of the dining table. In order to avoid clutter, we usually need to follow some rules when laying the table.
1. Prepare a clean tablecloth. Then place the plate in the center of the cutlery. (For a more traditional table setting, place a charger board under the dinner plate.)
2. Put a salad plate on the dinner plate.
3. The breadboard should be placed above and to the left of the dinner plate and salad plate. The butter knife can be placed horizontally on the breadboard.

5. Place the knife on the right side of the plate, and then place the spoon on the right side of the knife.
6. The dessert spoon should be placed horizontally above the plate.
7. There are water, white wine glass and red wine glass in the upper right corner of the position setting. The water glass should be closest to the guests (because I want them to drink more water than wine), and the red wine glass should be next to the white wine glass.
8. Fold the napkin (or use a chic napkin ring) and place it on top of the salad bowl.
9. Add a location card above the dessert spoon. Write the names of the guests on both sides so they can find their seats and the guests on the other side of the table know who they are talking to.
