• PLACE SETTINGS - one of the first impressions a guest may have of the host is the table presentation. A pink or
red table cloth with a pretty overlay is often all that is required to show off that tableware to its best. Add to this
colour coordinated candles, a pretty posy of flowers.

• SETTING THE TABLE - To get a clear idea of the space required to put the dinner plate I will be using on the
table. The plate should be placed one thumb nail in from the edge of the table and I will place the side plate to the
left of the dinner plate with the bread knife on the right side, its blade turned to the left.
Cutlery laid with the main course knives and forks nearest the plate, and the other courses working outwards until,
on the very outside should be the cutlery for the first course.
Knives should be on the right blades pointing inwards, forks on the left, while the soup spoon traditionally lies on
the knife side. Dessert spoons and forks are placed at the head of the plate with the fork handle facing the left and
the spoon handle to the right.
