Feel like impressing the fam at your holiday dinner? Follow this guide from the November 29, 2011 issue of Family Circle to set your table the way it's supposed to be set {who knew?}.
Charger, dinner plate and salad plate are stacked in the center of the place setting. Dinner fork is placed directly to the left of the plates, and salad fork is to the left of that {on the napkin, if the napkin is not folded on top of plates}. The knife is placed, sharp side facing in, directly to the right of your plates; the soup spoon {only if needed} is placed to the right of the knife.
The top left of your place setting is reserved for the bread plate, with a butter knife laid across it. Directly above the plates, place your dessert spoon and dessert fork horizontally. And finally ~ feeling thirsty? Place the water glass, red wine goblet and white wine goblet in the upper right section of the place setting. {Again ~ only if you are serving all three. Extraneous glasses can be removed when you know what your guests are drinking}.
Bon appetit, darlings!
xoxo
