Here is a quick tip on how to properly set your table. This video is only to show the correct placement of everything if you need or like to know for an event, but of course it is not required in everyday settings.

I just love your videos! I am a stay at home wife and mother, although my kids are in their twenties, I love making my house a home. you have helped alot! thanks!!!

Thank you so much. With our current society everything is fast and simple. Fully formal dinners are not as common as they used to be.

Short simple and straight to the point, I thank you!

Need to throw in two corrections. The water glass is set directly above the knife, the handle of the coffee cup is set at the 5oclock position.

All silverware should be placed perfectly straight up and the bottom ends on a straight line. The bread knife should be horizontal on the plate at 9 and 3 o'clock. Placement of both salad fork and soup spoon would be appropriate only if the guest is given a choice, or if both are intended. If the guest is given choice, soup or salad, then immediately remove the appropriate utensil that is not needed. Same goes for removal if the wine glass after guest selects the varietal. Exception would be if different wines are planned with corresponding courses. And, although the plate setup looks great, only the Charger should be placed initially. First course is.served on top of the charger, and both are removed after the first course. :)

In several videos about the ‘proper’ setting of a table, there are almost always variations and differences.

Almost, as if there were several ways to set a table!

It would be nice to know according tho decree by whom a certain table setting is “correct”...

It seems it also changes and varies drastically over the course of history, geographic location etc...

Very entertaining video and love the china.
But unless the salad and main / entree course are served from a tray onto the plate at the table by a server, ( or service a la française)empty plates are in the kitchen and not on the table.
Dessert cutlery and coffee cups on the table are more common in banqueting settings rather than fine dining restaurants.
Glasses are usually placed in such a way that a server never holds a bottle over an unused glass.

No it's not! Why is there a soup spoon if you have a salad plate? And by the way, that isn't a soup spoon - soup spoon bowls are round. The tea spoon (for the coffee?) should not be outside the main's knife, it shouldn't be there at all, neither should the cup and saucer. Also the cutlery should be lined up with an invisible line drawn under the charger, or 1 inch from the table edge with a straight table, the bases of all the cutlery should line up with military precision! I get that there are regional differences (I'm British) but putting the salad plate and the soup spoon out is very confusing for people!

there are mistakes there that needs to be corrected if and when we follow the correct standard placements. there is a lay out called Square lay and round the clock placement of any glasswares and mugs or cups that has handle in it..it is in the 3o'clck, or 5 oclock position of the placement.

[annjean]

Short and straight to the point!. Thanks for posting this great video.

[RunningTea]

Lovely steps but as you use your cutlery from the outside in, and you are serving soup, what was the teaspoon for? Surely not the coffee.

[aleksandrskolosovs]

You forgot about a thumb rule. All plates and cutleries supposed to be ideally set one thumb away from the edge of the table.

[marthemathurin]

Thank you for showing me the simple way to setup the dining table

[mightybruno]

I thought the water goblet must be place on the top of the dinner knife ...But in this video the water goblet was placed far from the dinner knife. Idk, that's what I learned..

[outc]

That's a lot of stuff just to eat...LOL! This was a great video and I did use it for my dining table. I ain't doing all of that though.

I can't believe Toyota branched off from hubcaps to chargers. Nice to see they have diversified. Good video nonetheless however may I suggest that
because your plates have symmetrical points, you should line those up as it does look awkward.

Desserts to be served with champagne. No breads plate, bread is not necessary because of the charcuterie. Water is necessary, ask for coffee if you want, at that time, a coffee cup will be provided along with a jug of coffee and necessary condiments.

[donglabong]

A, thats not a soup spoon. B, thats a butter knife. C, coffee is drunk from a coffee cup, not a tea cup, which is called a “cup and saucer”....

[mindrules]

Omg charger plate looks like my trophy 😂😂✌️
