Setting up a Formal Table Setting may seem overwhelming because there is a good deal of dinnerware involved. To make this setting, lay your tablecloth and set a charger and soup bowl on top of it. On the left and slightly above the charger position the bread plate and napkin below it. Lay your butter knife across the butter plate. Your salad fork goes on the left side of the napkin and dinner forks on the right side as the soup spoon and dinner knife go to the right side of the charger. The dessert spoon should be above the charger and glass above the dinner knife. The white wine glass should be slightly below this glass while the red wine glass above but ensure it is on the right of the white wine glasses.

Optimum individual place settings have an overall width of 30” (76 cm) and total depth of 27” (69 cm) that is split between an 18” (46 cm) place setting and a 9” (23 cm) shared zone.
