Formal lunch
The table layout of formal lunch and formal dinner is similar, with only a few minor differences: the iced drinks and iced tea spoons on the lunch table remind people that this is a daytime activity; The arrangement without candles is also suitable for this atmosphere. A glass only needs a goblet and a wine glass. Older etiquette books say that tableware should be aligned at the bottom of the handle, but now looser etiquette allows you to put them at any beautiful angle at will.

Formal dinner
The main difference between formal dinner and formal lunch table layout is that there are more cups for drinking red wine and champagne at dinner. Please note that the glasses are placed in front of the knives and forks according to the order in which they are used: water glass, white wine glass, red wine glass and champagne glass. Also, the harpoon is placed on the left side of the plate, and the candlestick can also be placed on the table, because it may be necessary to light the candle. Coffee cups and spoons will be brought up after dinner when drinking coffee. The cards on the table further show that this is a well-planned dinner.

Breakfast table
For a group, it is best to arrange a suitable breakfast table. Of course you don't need a salad fork, but if you have hot cereals, such as oatmeal, you should prepare soup scoops. You should also put a tea spoon, because coffee is provided from beginning to end. The juice glass is the only glass you need. Of course, if you also supply ice water, you need a tall glass.

For casual lunch, you can use some heavy tableware, such as this simple porcelain plate. Provide glasses to cope with any drinks that may be provided. Coffee cups can be placed on the table at the beginning. You don't need a candlestick, because you don't need to light candles at all during the day.

Leisure dinner
Casual dinner only requires informal porcelain and wine utensils, while stainless steel tableware is very suitable for casual style of casual dinner. What is shown here is that the bamboo placemats well neutralize the formality of the mahogany dining table. The salad fork was ignored, but the tableware for dessert was set at the top of the plate.

Dinner with soup as the main course
For settings like intimate dinner in front of the fireplace, if soup is used as the main course of dinner, the layout of the table can be simplified. However, simplicity does not mean boredom. The unconventional dining table arrangement shown here illustrates this point: the square porcelain adds an emotional appeal to the traditional soup plate, and the grape wine glass with a square cup belly just reflects the geometric shape of the porcelain. For a dinner consisting only of soup, salad and bread, all you need to prepare is a soup ladle and a salad fork.
