A birthday, like any other holiday, is marked not only by pleasant moments, but also by troubles. It is important to have time to prepare treats and drinks, trying to please every guest. For the right atmosphere, table setting for a birthday is of no small importance; if this moment is ignored, then everything will come down to ordinary gatherings. Beautiful, elegant presentation of dishes in many ways creates that very festive atmosphere.
Principles of classic serving
Many people think that setting a table means placing the cutlery correctly. However, when decorating a banquet table, it is necessary to perform a number of actions and take into account many other nuances:
- Proper placement of chairs. They are placed so that the distance between them is 50-80 cm. If necessary, they can be moved to the right or left. Each restaurant guest is allocated an equal seat at the table.
- Don't overload the table. The utensils that are used during the meal are laid out on the table. Too many items create inconvenience for a person during a feast.
- Features of the feast. When decorating the table, the number of guests, seasonality and time of the meal, as well as the reason for the feast are taken into account. Only after all this has been determined can further action be taken.
Taking into account the above principles, we will consider in more detail the rules for setting a table in a restaurant and cafe, and also find out what cutlery there are and in what order to lay them out.
Differences between festive and everyday serving
For daily serving of dishes, full serving is hardly acceptable. But this does not mean that aesthetics is only needed a few times a year for a special occasion. Make it a rule to gather the whole family at least once a day at a beautifully set table and you will be surprised how much this simple action can improve the atmosphere and mutual understanding in the house. All you need is a beautiful tablecloth or place mats, clean and uniform cutlery or plates.
Daily table setting in classic style
It’s great if you have a holiday set, but you should not take care of purchasing it until you are sure that the dishes for every day look just as good. Five different plates left over from different sets will never look harmonious, which cannot be said about simple white plates on a tidy tablecloth.
Tableware and plate arrangement
Table service for first, second courses and appetizers can be made of porcelain, earthenware or ceramics. It is not necessary to serve hand-painted family tableware on the table every day; the main thing is that all the items on the table are from the same set and are combined with the general style of the interior, curtains and decor. For example, colored ceramics are unlikely to fit into a sophisticated classic dining room, but they will emphasize the cozy atmosphere in a country-style kitchen.
Important: if it is not possible to buy and store several sets, it is better to choose universal white plates. They can be combined with any appliances, decor and style.
Festive table setting in a classic style
The plates are placed at a distance of 1.5 - 2 cm from the edge of the table, which is approximately equal to the thickness of the index and ring fingers. If we are talking about an elegant, festive presentation, one simple detail will help create it - a plate or stand plate. Place a snack plate on it (you can put a paper napkin between them so that they do not slip). If soup is expected, a deep plate is placed on top of the snack bar. A plate for bread or desserts is placed on the left at a distance of 10 cm from the guest.
Important: for those sitting at the table to feel comfortable, about 80 cm of space is needed for each person.

Differences between cutlery, dessert and serving utensils
All the variety of cutlery is unlikely to be useful in everyday life. However, it is important not to get into an awkward situation during a gala dinner or buffet and decide on the necessary minimum for the home. A brief description of the main serving items will come in handy for this.
Plates, napkin and cutlery
Table setting for autumn
Blue tea set
Serving items can be divided into:
- dining rooms: the usual set of forks and spoons for first and second courses;
- dessert: dessert forks, teaspoons, sugar tweezers, etc.;
- Serving tools help to cut dishes into portions and place them on plates; they do not belong to individual cutlery. This category includes a ladle, special knives, forks and spoons for appetizers, salads, cutting fish, sauces, tongs for bread, ice, etc.
The variety of cutlery and table setting items is enormous: from a snail fork to asparagus tongs. In everyday use, it is enough to distinguish between knives and forks for meat and fish. With a pointed tip and sharp teeth, they are used for meat dishes, and a curved triangular knife and fork with four short teeth are used for fish.
Location and instruments
The placement of devices according to etiquette raises many questions. In fact, this is about a simple and logical system that is not difficult to master. The cutlery is laid out after the plates have already taken their place.
Simple summer table setting
Cutlery is divided into several categories:
- table set 3 items for first and second courses. Deep spoon, large knife, long-toothed fork;
- snack set of 2-3 items for salads, appetizers and slices a few centimeters shorter;
- knife and fork-spatula for fish;
- small dessert set of spoon, fork and knife.
Table setting in minimalism
There should be no more than 3 cutlery on either side of a large plate. Special utensils (fork for spaghetti, oysters, etc.) are served immediately if the menu is small, and served separately when there are many courses.
The devices should be laid out as follows:
- knives and spoons are on the right, forks on the left. The only exception is the oyster fork, its place is also on the right side;
- knives should face the blades towards the plate, forks should lie with their teeth up, spoons should have their convex side on the surface;
- The table set comes first, then the cutlery for fish and snacks;
- the dessert set is placed above the plate-stand, parallel to the edge of the table;
- auxiliary devices with which guests serve their own food are placed next to the corresponding dishes.
Important: no matter how many items are on the table, always start your meal with cutlery that is further away from the plate.

Bar glass and glass selection
A variety of glasses and wine glasses for cocktails, wine and cold drinks belong to the category of bar glass. Their choice is so huge that if you don’t have a separate bar counter in your house, you shouldn’t even try to collect a complete collection of wine glasses. You need to focus on your taste preferences and the quality of the glass, otherwise even the most beautiful glass will not last long.
Beautifully set table outside the city
Option for a minimum set of bar glass for home:
- tall flute glasses for sparkling wines;
- Bordeaux-type wine glasses with a volume of 350-400 ml. They are suitable for short-aged reds, pinks and whites;
- glasses with a volume of 200-285 ml. Suitable for serving soft drinks, cocktails and beer;
- 160 ml tulip-shaped glasses for strong alcohol: cognac, whiskey, brandy, liqueur and fortified wines;
- 50 ml shots for strong alcohol.
The shape and volume of the glass significantly affect the taste and aroma of cognac and wine, helping to reveal the bouquet and aftertaste. Therefore, even novice sommeliers should pay close attention to the choice of containers if they do not want to spoil the impression of an expensive drink. But the shape of the mug or glass has no effect on the taste of beer.
Important: a glass is a general name for thin glassware for drinks. A wine glass is one of its varieties with a high stem for serving sparkling wines and juices.
How to arrange glasses on the table?
The bar glass is placed after the plates and cutlery have taken their places. Before serving, make sure there are no water marks or fingerprints on the glass and hold it by the bottom or stem.
Selection of bar glass and serving of cheese
When serving, glasses and glasses are placed to the right of the plate, and if water and alcoholic drinks are served at the same time, a vessel for a drink that goes better with the first course is placed closer. For a magnificent feast, during which you will need more than three containers for drinks, they are placed in two rows: in front there are glasses, glasses for red wine and a glass for water, in the second row there is a glass for white and champagne.
Tea and coffee sets
The traditional material for good tea and coffee sets is thin and weightless porcelain. However, there are no less interesting and practical options from glass, earthenware and ceramics. The main thing is that the choice is to your liking, suits the decor, and that the table is not served with items from only one set.
The classic tea set includes approximately 200 ml cups with saucers, a teapot, a milk jug and a sugar bowl. An extended dessert set may also include a cake dish, butter dish, cookie and candy bowl, and dessert plates.
Tableware for a sweet table in a classic style
A coffee service usually consists of cups (volume 30-60 ml), saucer, coffee pot, tray, spoons, milk jug, cezve and sugar bowl. A special box for grains, spreading their alluring aroma, can be a special highlight.
When setting a dessert table, it is important to remember the “right hand rule”: the handles of all cups should point to the right, the spoon on the saucer, the napkin and the cake spatula should also be placed on this side.
Important: Never forget to place the teaspoon on the saucer before drinking from the cup.
Ceramic milk jug and sugar bowl
Containers for spices
For table setting, a salt and pepper shaker is usually enough, which are placed to the right or left of the main dish on the table. If mustard, ketchup and other sauces are needed in addition to spices, they are placed next to the spices.
Devices
Once the tabletop is covered with a clean and well-ironed tablecloth, you can begin arranging the cutlery. Here it is worth considering the basic recommendations and rules of table setting for the waiter. Cutlery serves a specific function and has a designated place on the table. They should not be taken by hand.
Knives and forks
Dinner and snack forks are laid out between the pie and snack plates. The tooth is positioned upward. On the right side of the appetizer plate are table and snack knives for meat and other dishes. The blades should be directed towards the plate. When sorting, it is worth considering that cutlery should not be hidden under the edge of the plate or placed too far away.
For fish dishes, visitors additionally need a fork and a fish knife. They fit between snack bars and cutlery.
Spoons
There are minimal spoons on the table. They are often used to consume liquid dishes and desserts. The soup spoon lies on the right side of the plate, between the table and snack knives. As for the dessert utensil, it is placed on top in front of the dish. If the menu does not include serving dessert, then there will be no need for cutlery.

Spatulas, tongs, etc.
There is a separate group of auxiliary devices that are used to lay out dishes on plates. Especially often such types can be found at banquets and buffets.
Additional devices include:
- spatula for whale and granular caviar;
- spatula for cold and hot fish dishes;
- baking tongs;
- spatula for cake and pastry;
- ice cream spoon;
- spoon for serving salad;
- coffee spoon;
- butter knife and much more.
Hooks
No less important attributes of the table are hooks for hanging. Of course, they have no direct relation to the meal. However, hooks are installed on furniture, allowing you to hang bags or other accessories on them.
General Tips
- Be sure to have a salt and pepper shaker on the table. If a lot of guests are expected, distribute 5-7 sets around the table;
- If you cover the table with a tablecloth, make sure that the distance between its edge and the floor exceeds 20 centimeters. Otherwise, visitors risk tripping over the fabric. Choose a tablecloth made of a material that does not slip and does not make unpleasant sounds when rubbed: products made from moleton are suitable. If it is not possible to choose a high-quality tablecloth, use a thick tablecloth;
- Strictly follow the sequence of serving dishes. No force majeure will justify violating this rule;
- Make sure that there are no stains on the dishes and cutlery. To do this, check each plate or other container before serving;
- Remember that serving is not only about the elements that are located on the table. There are some rules for waiters. A restaurant worker should have a clean, ironed handbrake hanging on his hand. This towel protects against burns when carrying high-temperature foods. It is permissible to polish cutlery and dishes with a handbrake, but do not wipe off food residues from the table with a towel and do not wipe your hands with a towel;
- If there is not enough space on the table, you can use some tricks when installing dishes. For example, it is permissible to display wine glasses not in a line, but in a triangle. The main thing is that the glasses are in the correct order, if you look from the nearest corner and move clockwise;
- At special events outside the home, the use of placemats is strictly prohibited. It will look like you want to rid yourself of unwanted laundry when the customers leave;
- Don't forget about table decoration. A flower arrangement in a traditional restaurant should not exceed 30 centimeters in height, and should also be in harmony with the color scheme of the tablecloth. During dinner, decorate the surface with tall candles or low counterparts with a candlestick. But you can only light them for dinner, otherwise it will be considered bad manners. Yes, there are many rules for serving in a restaurant. But those who can master them will be able not only to properly set up a table for guests, but also to observe etiquette during a visit to a premium restaurant.

Glasses: what for what
A specific glass is used for each drink. The main thing here is to place the glasses correctly. In classic table setting, they are placed in a line to the right of the plate. There is no need to display all the glasses at the same time. They change along with the plates when the next dish is served. The only wine glass that must be on the table throughout the entire meal is a water glass.
Beautiful wine glasses are placed in the order in which drinks are served during meals. The farthest glass is used first.
As for the glassware set, it consists of the following wine glasses:
- one glass for regular water;
- the champagne glass is higher than the rest;
- separate glasses for different wines;
- vodka glasses;
- glasses for cognac and liqueur.
Each wine glass has unique characteristics, thanks to which you can reveal the smell and taste of a particular drink. These features must be taken into account when sorting the table.
Cutlery
During a regular lunch, each of us uses a minimum of cutlery, arranging them in random order. But the festive event requires a special layout and a certain number of forks and knives.
Properly arranged cutlery on the holiday table is a very important point.
When serving, the knife must be placed with the blade facing the plate and on the right side. As a rule, several knives are used, so their location near the plate is very important. The table knife should be closest, and the farthest one should be for appetizers, with a fish knife placed between them.
The spoon turns upside down and lies between the knives. The fork is placed on the left side of the plate. The sequence of laying out forks is the same as for knives: table, fish and snack. They are placed with the cloves up at a distance of half a centimeter from the plate.
Dessert utensils may also be required. Place them in front of the plate in the following sequence: knife, fork and spoon.
Preliminary preparation
Preparing the table for customer service begins with arranging the chairs. Here it is worth adhering to the previously mentioned rule, according to which the distance between seats should be at least 50 cm. If a romantic dinner for two is planned, then a small table is selected and the chairs are placed opposite each other.
At the next stage, the tabletop is covered with a tablecloth. This is what is considered the first stage of table setting. The classic version is a snow-white canvas made of dense high-quality fabric. Satin is often used to make tablecloths. You can also use canvases of other shades, the main thing is that they match the decoration of the room.
When choosing a tablecloth, experts recommend focusing on light colors, such as cream or soft blue.
The tablecloth should be clean and well ironed. It is the general background for serving. If the fabric is thin and slippery, then you need to place flannel fabric under it. This will save the situation. This material also muffles the sound of glasses and cutlery hitting furniture.
Important! Plastic and oilcloth tablecloths should not be used in a presentable restaurant. This is especially true for organizing holiday banquets.
At the preliminary preparation stage, special attention should be paid to the length of the tablecloth - it should not hang more than 30 cm from the level of the tabletop. The corners of the canvas should cover the legs. When the tablecloth is laid, they begin to display cutlery and wine glasses in accordance with the menu.

Serving rules
There is a certain algorithm of actions when decorating a festive table:
- Tablecloth. Naturally, first you need to wash and iron it so that there is not the slightest hint of stains or wrinkles. Snow-white tablecloths look great - this is a classic option. Nowadays, several canvases of contrasting colors are increasingly used at once; they can be bright, or they can be pastel. Metallic fabric is in fashion.
- Placing the plates at such a distance from each other that guests can sit comfortably and not touch their neighbors.
- Laying out cutlery. How many there should be directly depends on the dishes offered and the number of guests. It is not necessary to lay out a full set of cutlery. For example, fish can be eaten without a special knife and fork.
- Arrangement of glassware - glasses, wine glasses and vases. Each of them is a table decoration and is very functional. It is very important that these devices are polished to a shine, without streaks.
- After the above steps, it’s time for the napkins. It is best to arrange them in special rings, display them on holders, or fold them individually for each guest. You can use both cloth and paper napkins.

- Spices must be in the correct location on the table, because everyone has their own taste and, perhaps, guests will want to make up for the lack of pepper, salt or vinegar in the served dish. Spices should be placed in several places on the table so that everyone can easily reach them.
- The last thing to put on the table is the appetizers.
Advice! Vases with flowers (low) will become a charming decoration for dinner, both family and business.
Requirements for table setting and cutlery
Table setting is a real art, in which many factors need to be taken into account. The furnishings on the table must meet certain requirements. And the main thing to consider here is when the feast is held:
- Breakfast. Only fresh bread is served on the table; for this, a wicker basket or a special plate covered with a napkin is used. Oil is supplied exclusively in an oil dish. If sausage or cheese is used for sandwiches, they are cut into thin pieces. As for jam and preserves, they are served in a rosette. Set out a plate and cup for tea or coffee, as well as a glass for juice or other drink.
- Dinner and supper. In both cases, serving is carried out using tableware, snack bars and pie plates. A fork is placed on the left and a knife on the right. The glasses are placed above the knife. Also, the set of cutlery and wine glasses can be changed and supplemented depending on the ordered menu. This is especially true for dinner. Don't forget about spice jars.
- Table for tea party. Special tea sets are used for serving. There is also a dessert plate, spoon, fork and saucer with a cup. The table is decorated with an interesting tablecloth or flowers.
Of course, the serving must fully correspond to the ordered menu. At the same time, the rule of the sequence of serving dishes is preserved. Don't forget about napkins - they are required for table setting in a restaurant.
Types of serving dishes
For the coffee table
Make sure that the ends of the tablecloth hang at an equal distance from the table surface. For each visitor, place a cake plate 3-4 centimeters from the edge. The coffee cup is placed to the right of the plate, it should be placed on a small saucer. Place a spoon on it to stir the coffee. The cake fork is on the right. Provide guests with access to a sugar bowl with tongs and refined sugar inside. Place linen napkins on the table and make sure it is decorated with a pot of fresh flowers. Since coffee often comes with a variety of sweet snacks, choose a long, thin option and place it in the middle of the coffee table.
Buffet
A buffet is a type of serving in which guests walk freely around the room, taking only those dishes and drinks that they like. Therefore, under no circumstances place tables along the walls, give people space. The buffet table should be covered with a long cloth tablecloth; it should not reach the floor by about 5 centimeters. This length is due to the fact that people do not sit at this table. Think about the menu: there should be dishes on the table that are easy to pick up with a fork.
As for serving rules, place large flat plates, forks and glasses for drinks at both ends of the table. Place vessels with sauces, gravies and seasonings there. Arrange containers with dishes symmetrically from the center (hot dishes first, then salads, desserts and fruit slices closer to the middle of the table).
Try to fit everything so that there is room for your guests' plates: they won't want to carry them in their hands all the time. For used dishes, get 2-3 mobile tables. Don't forget to decorate the buffet. For this purpose, fresh flowers or garlands of inflatable balls, harmonizing in color with the tablecloth, are suitable.
Cold appetizer table
Cold appetizers are traditionally placed on the table before guests arrive. Porcelain dishes of sufficient size are suitable for this. Cold mushrooms or salads are served in glass and ceramic salad bowls. Place your establishment’s signature salads in sophisticated vases with long legs. Herring bowls, which are also displayed in the middle of the table, are designed for serving fish dishes. The oval ones serve fish and meat cuts, and the round ones serve assorted fruits. Don’t forget about serving sauces and dressings for salads (a salad bowl is suitable for this), so that everyone makes a choice depending on their preferences.
Individual dishes on the cold appetizer table are no different from the previous one. Place large salad plates for all guests, place forks on the left, and knives on the right. Carefully fold a cloth napkin on a plate.
Dining table for hot dishes
It is customary to serve hot snacks in the same place where they were prepared. Therefore, get two types of portioned plates in advance: for soups and flat ones for other dishes. Be prepared to provide guests with a wide selection of spoons, forks and knives, as the hot food table menu is very diverse. According to the rules, pie plates and snack bars are displayed. Serve julienne in metal dishes; chillies made from natural materials are suitable for fish and meat. To serve, use crumble frying pans; you can eat from them.
Festive table setting
Table setting in a restaurant for a banquet has some peculiarities. First of all, this concerns the use of decorative elements. The best solution here is flowers. They should have a light pleasant smell. The vase is placed so that the petals do not fall into the dish. Often it acts as the center of the table.
Textiles are also widely used to decorate the table. This applies not only to tablecloths and napkins, but also to covers, skirts and covers for chairs and tables. When choosing products, it is worth considering the location and format of the event. The main thing is that all the elements of serving and decorating the meal are optimally combined with each other and form a coherent concept.

Table decoration
Setting a festive table is the basis for any holiday and creating a festive mood among guests. Compliance with the rules of serving is necessary for any celebration. Beautiful festive table setting is the key to the success of the entire celebration. Over the years, a huge number of formulas and rules have been developed that must be followed when decorating a table. Hastily arranged plates and glasses, cutlery, appropriate only for certain occasions - this is the wrong approach. You need to know a lot of nuances, thanks to which you can take your event to the highest level.
First of all, the theme of the holiday is taken into account. A child's or adult's birthday, a wedding, a romantic dinner or just a get-together with friends - any occasion requires clear thinking about the future table. To make dinner unforgettable, simply delicious food will not be enough. You need to dress up the hall where the event is held, decorate the table and convey a festive mood to your guests. The main thing in this matter is not to overdo it, since a table cluttered with dishes and decorations can cause a completely opposite impression and show the hostess’s lack of taste. The main goal is to create a positive impression on the guests both about the holiday and about the hostess herself.
Classic - white plates and clear glass glasses. They are universal and harmoniously suitable for any serving.
If this is a party or business dinner, then you should stick to a neutral, rather restrained style. If among the guests there are only relatives or friends, then the table setting can be made less formal and free by using decorative elements. At the same time, the elements of decor and table setting should not only be combined with each other, but organically fit into the overall interior of the room.
Beautiful decor made from natural materials
Therefore, first you should decide on the style of the festive table. Firstly, you need to clearly know what kind of dishes will be present on the table. This fact can be used as a basis for choosing tablecloths and napkins. After this, decorative elements such as napkin holders, flower vases, etc. are selected.
Organizing a feast for a wedding anniversary
A wedding anniversary is an important stage in the life of every family. Some celebrate it noisily and cheerfully, inviting family and friends to the feast. Others consider this day a personal occasion and celebrate with family.
Serving for a wedding anniversary
No matter how you decide to celebrate your wedding anniversary, you will need a more formal table setting than a casual lunch or dinner. The format of the event depends on the number of invited guests and the location of the celebration. In accordance with this, the menu, type of dishes, textiles and list of accessories are determined.
Decoration for a linen wedding
You can choose the color scheme and decor concept taking into account the name of the wedding anniversary, which depends on the number of years lived. Eg:
Calico It is celebrated a year after the wedding. To celebrate this event, you can cover the table with a tablecloth made of brightly colored fabrics, use paper or fabric napkins with a floral pattern and original decorative dishes.
Wooden The reason for a feast arises after five years of marriage. For table setting, you can choose a linen tablecloth and napkins in pastel colors, wooden dishes or accessories.
Pink Ten years have passed since the wedding, and those guests who were present when the family was created are usually invited to the celebration. For table setting, use textiles or dishes in pink shades, and for decoration - bouquets or arrangements of roses.
Pink wedding
Ruby Forty years is a worthy date, which is usually celebrated in a festive atmosphere in a restaurant or cafe. If you are organizing a feast at home, use glasses of a noble ruby hue or burgundy-colored textiles for serving, complementing them with snow-white plates.
Noble ruby shades
The menu is usually selected in accordance with the occasion of the feast. However, with competent and original serving for a wedding anniversary, even the simplest dishes will look decent on the table.

Should table settings be kept in one color?
Holiday tables made in the same color scheme are becoming increasingly popular. Very often lately you can hear: “What color will your wedding be?” or “I’ll have a raspberry birthday!”
The color of the holiday must be chosen, first of all, from your own preferences. Guests are guests, but you are the host of the holiday, and choosing the color of the decoration is one of the ways to express your “I” or convey your mood.
... Why not choose the color of the table setting to match the tone of your eyes?
Serving in one color scheme is perfect for a romantic dinner. As a rule, it is not possible to set the table in one “pure” color. But using several shades is always welcome. Red napkins, glasses and candles will perfectly support a duet with a snow-white tablecloth and the same plates.
A table in a marine style will look interesting. It is perfect for home lunches and outdoor gatherings with friends. In addition, a lot of this option is made with your own hands, for example, napkin holders with intricate shells.
Serving a festive table outdoors
The absolute lucky ones are those who have the opportunity to organize their own celebration in the fresh air. This can be done in your own yard, at your dacha or on a rented plot. It makes no sense to describe the benefits of such a holiday. After all, this means fresh air, stunning landscapes for photographs, and varied potential for organizing holiday leisure.
Neutral decoration for a garden wedding party
You can set a table outside in green tones to match the natural colors of nature, or, conversely, use contrast techniques. Both the first and second options will leave a lasting impression on your guests!
In addition, setting a table “in nature” does not require any special embellishment - all the beauty, as they say, is around. It uses either a home style or a contrast between nature and the “artificiality” of complex decorative techniques. Each event is considered individually, and so is the choice of dishes and other attributes of the festive table.
