Silverware Placement for Christmas Dinner

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Stephanie Barnett. On behalf of Expert Village, I'm here to show you how to make this gorgeous Christmas table for your Christmas dinner. So I selected my silverware I'm choosing silverware that has the holly pattern. Also you need to think about what you're serving. I will be serving a salad before the main course so I'm going to need a salad fork as well, a main course fork. So I'm going to lay the salad fork on the far end always work your way in so the first course thing is here, the second course thing is here and so on. You will place the knife with the serrated edge pointed in towards the plate and place the spoon on the outside of that knife. I'm also going to be having a Bush Noel which is a type of Christmas cake, I'm going to put a fork facing my other forks at the top of my place mat that is where your desert and spoons go. I'm going to do this for all of my place settings and I know have everything I need. If I was going to be serving soup which I'm not I would put the soup spoon on the far outside right edge so get your silverware on the table. "
