Today, a beautifully set table with flowers evokes an inexplicable feeling of solemnity and festivity in a person.
A few general serving rules
A set of dishes for one guest consists of a lower front plate, a main plate, cutlery, a glass for water and glasses for drinks.
The knife is placed to the right of the plate with the blade towards it, the forks are placed to the left with the cloves up, the tablespoon next to the knife with the wide part up.
Those devices that are used first are placed closer to the plate. Then - in order of served dishes. It’s always worth having a few extra appliances in stock in case one of the guests needs a new one.
Place the drinkware in a row on the right, behind the plate and cutlery. If you will serve water and wine, then put closer the drink that is more suitable for the first courses.
Place the nearest glass at the intersection of the first knife and plate. Napkins are an important element on the table.
How to choose the right napkins for the table
Rectangular napkins are usually placed under the cutlery during a festive dinner at home and in restaurants. For a modest tea table or breakfast, small napkins are suitable, for more solemn occasions - larger options.
