There is no set rule for the placement of a dinner plate, but a good host will set a salad or bread/roll plate to the top left and a soup bowl and plate can be placed upon the top of the dinner plate if desired. A glass of water and/or wine can be placed at the top right.

What do you do with the flowers after a wedding?

A good idea at a wedding reception is to place a gold sticker under a chair or a plate on the table and whoever gets that gold sticker at each table gets to take the guest's table centerpiece home. As far as the flowers on the Head Table, the bride can divide the flowers between her mother and mother-in-law or give them to sisters or best girlfriends.


How do you set a table?

Buy the things on the "Things You'll Need" part of the page.Place the chargers on the table, then put the plates on top of each.Fold the napkin lengthwise, and loop through the ring. Place it in the middle of each plate.Place the forks on the left side of the plate. The salad fork should be toward the far left, the main course fork closer to the plate. (the salad fork is the smaller one).Place the knives and spoons on the right side. The knives should be closer to the plate, with the spoons on the far right. Make sure the sharp part of the knife is pointing toward the inside of the plate. It will go in the order of: steak (big) knife, little knife, big spoon, little spoon.Place the dessert fork above the plate and the dessert spoon above the fork. (The pointy part of the fork will be pointed toward the right, the spoon mouth will be pointed toward the left.)On the left side of the plate (above the forks), you will place the bread plate with butter knife on top, edge-to-edge.On the top right, set the two glasses.Step back. Your work is finished. You have created the Mona Lisa of Tables! ha ha

What are the measurements of the markings on a 7ft x 4ft pool table?

To mark any pool table(as they vary by manufacturer in exact size,)first measure the width of the slate then half this measurement. This is the spot mark, (which should be the centre point between the middle pockets and the corner pockets in an imaginary cross between the pockets). IE if the table is 39" wide,then measure from the edge of the slate,19.5"up the table and place the spot mark 19.5" from the edge of the table where the measurements meet.This is the exact spot mark. The line (baulk line) is one fifth of the slates length from the edge of the cushion. IE if the slate is 75" long then a fifth of this is 15"...measure 15" up the table from the edge of the cushion,place a mark on both sides and draw your baulk line. centre of baulk line spot will be 19.5". Sounds more complicated than it is and its easy to do but harder to explain. This method works for any pool table size up to 8' as far as i know. Hope this helps.


Why do we set the table?

AnswerHere is what I know about setting a dinner table:Ever watch the movie Titanic?? Yep, if they do it in the movies, then you might as well do it at home; they spend a fortune researching stuff like that and hiring people!But, for everyday purposes it is best to put the napkin on the left of the plate, with the fork on top. On the right lay the knife down, blade inwards, and the spoon to the outside of the knife. I have always seen the cup or glass to the upper right of the plate. If there are any salad dishes set them either to the upper left of the plate, or on the middle of the plate.orBuy the things on the "Things You'll Need" part of the page.Place the chargers on the table, then put the plates on top of each.Fold the napkin length-wise, and loop through the ring.

How are volcanoes formed and where are they typically located?

Most volcanoes form near subduction faults. When one plate slide under the edge of another plate, the edge of it melts under the rocky crust. Eventually, the pool of molten rock and gases that result get enough pressure that they force a pathway to the surface open, releasing the gas and magma as a volcano. However, some volcanoes form from hot spots, which are not well understood and can be located extremely far from the edge of a plate.
