As we have mentioned above there is the explanation of the etiquette by Peggy post although there is a good visual explanation of the picture still wee need that it is a good to see the text also. By the way there is no some rule that this is the way that you must do, but this is one really cool way and a good explanation of setting up a formal table.

Be always good host and remember this way.

Bread plate: Butter knife handle faces right for easy reach.

Dessert fork and spoon: Lots of settings? Tuck in dessert utensils above the plate — fork handle left, spoon handle right.

Glasses: Water is placed above knives for easy access. If you’re serving both red and white wine, set glasses right to left in the order used: White wine for the first course on the outside, then red next for your entrée.

Utensils: Forks on the left; knives (blades in) and spoons on the right. Everything is placed from the outside in based on course order — for instance, set for soup, salad and then entrée.
