Add to the banquet bowl a napkin placed in the center. Alternatively, place the napkin either on the table(furniture store melodyhome) to the larboard of the forks,[3] or on a ancillary bowl (see below); some humans cycle up the napkin and place it into a wine glass. Add a baby aliment bowl with a knife placed central of it angular to the high larboard bend of the banquet bowl (American setting). Or, use it as a "side plate" and accept it placed to the ancillary (English setting), with the adulate knife still aloft it.
Add the apparatus (cutlery).
Place the two to three forks on the larboard ancillary of the banquet bowl (salad fork, meal/dinner fork, and angle angle if using).
Above the bowl goes the ambrosia angle tines adverse appropriate (toward the glass) and the ambrosia beanery adverse left.
Place the banquet knife on the appropriate ancillary of the bowl and the adulate knife following.
Align a soup beanery next to the knife if accepting soup.[4] Any teaspoons getting acclimated will be placed amid the knife and the soup spoon.
If accepting a cocktail fork, this sits next to the spoons, at the exoteric edge.
Serve your guests and accept a abundant time.
