Table Settings


Approaching a table during a formal meal may seem daunting with all of the china, stemware and silverware; but it does not have to be. Table settings vary depending on the restaurant or the meal. It is common to have the following standard items on a table:

  • A napkin
  • A salad fork, a dinner fork, a knife and a spoon
  • A water glass or a wine glass
  • A bread and butter plate with a butter knife For more formal and elegant events, you may find all the flatware and stemware you will need for the entire meal.

From time to time, you may attend a luncheon or dinner with a formal table setting.
