I Don't Want You to Feel Any Stress! Considerations for the Orientation of Cutlery for Left-Handed Guests

2022.03.24 published

Left-handed people have their cutlery set in reverse!

Are there any left-handed people around you?

When you go to a restaurant, the cutlery set on the table is usually for right-handed people.

The knife is on the right side, and the fork is on the left side.

As a right-handed person, I would naturally hold the knife in my right hand and the fork in my left hand without thinking, but

a friend I went out to eat with recently is left-handed.

They hold the knife in their left hand and the fork in their right hand, so every time the food is served, they swap the knife and fork to the opposite sides.

I realized that left-handed people have a bit of inconvenience even in such situations.

Let's arrange cutlery for left-handed guests!

Left-handed people find it easier to eat when the cutlery is set in reverse.

So, if there are left-handed guests at your wedding, they would appreciate it if the cutlery is set up for left-handed use.

If it was set up for left-handed people from the beginning, they might notice and think, "Wow!"

Even if they don’t notice, it would be great if they can enjoy their meal without any discomfort.

Be mindful that there are right-handed people dining as well.

While left-handed people appreciate the cutlery set for left-handed use,

there are occasionally left-handed people who are right-handed when it comes to eating (such as being left-handed only for writing).

Therefore, even if someone is left-handed, it would be good to check which hand they are using to eat when you go out to dine together.

Left-handed people have all their cutlery on the left.

Right-handed people don’t usually notice that the cutlery setup is reversed, but having the cutlery arranged the other way from the start can be inconvenient.

Let’s consider left-handed guests so they can enjoy the wedding with minimal stress.
