<P> Table setting (laying a table) or place setting refers to the way to set a table with tableware--such as eating utensils and for serving and eating . The arrangement for a single diner is called a place setting . The practice of dictating the precise arrangement of tableware has varied across cultures and historical periods . </P> <P> Informal settings generally have fewer utensils and dishes but use a layout based on more formal settings . Utensils are arranged in the order and according to the manner in which the diner will use them . In the West, forks, plate, butter knife, and napkin generally are placed to the left of the dinner plate, and knives, spoons, stemware and tumblers, cups, and saucers to the right . (By contrast, formal settings in Armenia place the fork to the right of the dinner plate and informal settings in Turkey place the fork to the right of the dinner plate if not accompanied by a knife) Sauceboats and serving dishes, when used, either are placed on the table or, more formally, may be kept on a side table . </P> <P> At an informal setting, fewer utensils are used and serving dishes are placed on the table . Sometimes the cup and saucer are placed on the right side of the spoon, about 30cm or 12 inches from the edge of the table . Often, in less formal settings, the napkin should be in the wine glass . However, such objects as napkin rings are very rare in the United Kingdom, Spain, Mexico, or Italy . </P>
