How to Properly Set a Table with Rolled Silverware
-
Set the dinner plate onto the middle of the place mat. Make sure it's centered, because the dishes, glasses and silverware will go on both sides of it.
-
Place the rolled silverware on the left of the dinner plate.
-
Position the glasses on the right. The water glass belongs on the innermost side next to the plate, followed by wine glasses and then champagne flutes.
-
Set the salad plate on the left side of the silverware if you are serving salad separately.
-
Put the bread plate on the upper left-hand corner above the silverware roll with the butter knife lying across it.
-
Inform guests where they are sitting if this is a formal dinner by putting a place card on the dinner plate or just above it.
