The casual table setting is standard for laidback entertaining with friends and family.

Leave a lasting impression with a curated table, complete with festive-themed crockery, cutlery, and glassware, and matching placemats and serviettes.

For a casual table setting:

  • Lay the placemats out.
  • Centre the dinner plates on the placemats. When serving salad, set the salad plate atop the dinner plate.
  • Place a fork to the left of the dinner plate. When serving salad, set the salad fork to the left of the dinner fork.
  • Place the knife to the right of the dinner plate and then set the spoon to the right of the knife.
  • Place the drinking glass above the knife in the top right corner, atop coasters.
  • If serving wine, place the wineglasses to the right of the water glass, atop coasters.
  • Place the serviettes to the left of the dinner plate, so that the fork sits on top. Serviettes can also be placed on top of the dinner plate.
