It’s possible you’ve sat at a formal dinner place setting and wondered which fork or knife to use.  A great rule of thumb is to start from the outside and work you way in. The only place setting items present will be the one needed, but there’s a bit more than that to know!

We’ve created a short video to walk you through understanding a formal dinner place setting.

 

Cheers!
