As a child, I was often tasked with setting the table. Most times it dinner on the weekend when my dad was home.

Holidays were huge. I had to set the table for each. It had to be right. Napkin had to be in the right position. Fork and knives had be placed for easy use. I have the 1954 Better Hones and Gardens Cookbook I learned from.

This article here gives an updated version of these traditional formal and informal settings. Hope y’all enjoy.
