Table Manners!
How to set a table used to be common knowledge, but in today’s fast and busy world, knowing how to set a table properly has become somewhat of a party trick. If you’ve been tasked with hosting a baby shower luncheon, an informal dinner party, or a big Thanksgiving dinner and weren’t taught how to set the table as a child, no worries, we’ve got you covered. Here are detailed instructions on how to set a table properly for a formal holiday feast.
To make it even easier, we’ve included a table setting diagram so you can easily visualize where to place each plate, napkin, fork, and knife. Bookmark this page so you can easily reference to it as you’re setting the table before the meal—or share the diagrams with your kids and task them with preparing the table for dinner.
