Chargers are oversized plates are for decoration than service. They should be used for the first course and then removed for the main course.
Utensils are placed in order of use, from the outside in.
Knife blades are placed so that the cutting edge is towards the plate.
The napkin can either be placed in the center of the plate or to the left of the forks. The fold of the napkin should face the plate (or face to the right if placed on top of the plate).
Dessert spoons or forks can be placed above the plates
Only set the coffee cup and saucer if you’re serving coffee with the meal.
Place cards allow you to decide ahead of time where people should sit.
