How to set a table to impress guests

Have you ever walked into a fancy restaurant and seen how they've set the tables? Isn't it amazing? You're worried because tonight you are having a fancy dinner party but don't know how to set the table! To make your table look like a piece of art, read on.

Steps

1. Buy the things on the "Things You'll Need" part of the page.
2. Place the chargers on the table, then put the plates on top of each.
3. Fold the napkin length-wise, and loop through the ring. Place it in the middle of each plate.
4. Place the forks on the left side of the plate. The salad fork should be toward the far left, the main course fork closer to the plate. (the salad fork is the smaller one).
5. Place the knives and spoons on the right side. The knives should be closer to the plate, with the spoons on the far right. Make sure the sharp part of the knife is pointing toward the inside of the plate. It will go in the order of: steak (big) knife, little knife, big spoon, little spoon.
6. Place the dessert fork above the plate and the dessert spoon above the fork. (The pointy part of the fork will be pointed toward the right, the spoon mouth will be pointed toward the left.)
7. On the left side of the plate (above the forks), you will place the bread plate with butter knife on top, edge-to-edge.
8. On the top right, set the two glasses.
9. Step back. Your work is finished. You have created the Monalissa of Tables!
