Like an empty table...*Stares wistfully into distance*...
So, just so I know, what is the correct placement of cutlery at a dinner party?...
Silverware is set up in the order of its use/from left to right, IE:
Left of plate: Salad fork (same as a dessert fork - the shorter fatter fork) is outer, dinner fork (the long slender fork) is alongside the plate.
Right of plate: Knife goes closest to plate (sharp edge facing plate), then soup spoon (larger fatter), then the dessert spoon (small spoon).
Napkin goes on the left near forks (unless you want to make a fancy shape of it and put it in the middle of the plate).
Bread and butter plate goes above the forks/ glass of water goes above the spoons, and wine glass goes to the right of the water glass.
