  • by someone else's! You will need Chargers Napkins Bread dishes Butter spreaders Knives

  • Forks Spoons Glasses Dessert plates Dessert utensils and oyster forks (optional). Step

  • 1. Place a large plate, known as a charger, in the center of the place setting. This plate

  • serves as the underplate for courses that precede the entree, and is taken away when

  • the main dish arrives. Step 2. Lay a folded napkin on top of the charger. Step 3. Place

  • a bread dish to the upper left-hand side of the charger, at the 11 o'clock position. Lay

  • a small butter spreader diagonally across the top of the plate, handle on the right

  • at 4 o'clock and blade facing down. Step 4. Place the dinner knife to the right of the

  • charger. If there's a fish course, place the fish knife to the right of the dinner knife.

  • If you're including an appetizer or salad knife, place it to the right of the fish knife.

  • Make sure the blades face the plate. Step 5. Arrange the forks to the left of the charger

  • in the order in which they will be used, starting from the outside and working in. The only

  • exception is an oyster fork, which is placed on the right side of the plate, to the right

  • of the knives and spoon. An oyster fork can be used for any shellfish, not just oysters.

  • Step 6. If you are serving a fruit or soup course, place the appropriate spoon to the

  • right of the knives. Don't put more than three types of one utensil on the table, except

  • for an oyster fork, which can join three other forks. If more utensils are needed, bring

  • them with each subsequent dish. Step 7. Place a water glass above the dinner knife. If you're

  • serving champagne, a flute goes to the right of it. Place wine glasses, ending with a sherry

  • glass, in front of the first two glasses. Step 8. Bring dessert forks and spoons along

  • with the dessert plate when that course is served. Did you know Erasmus, a Dutchman who

  • wrote the first popular book of manners in 1530, suggested that diners wipe their fingers

  • on the tablecloth, rather than licking them or wiping them on their clothes.
