As for the position, just place the knife and fork based on how you use them during the meal: fork on the left and knife on the right, remembering to store the blade towards the plate.
The spoon, on the other hand, must be placed on the right, next to the knife outside which will surely be the last place we use.
As for the glasses, these must be placed high from the dish and slightly directed to the right, in line with the tip of the knife.
These, in an informal table, can be almost of any type, both colorful and decorated but having them of a color that is in harmony with cutlery or dishes can be useful and donate that extra touch.
If your meal includes the consumption of wine, perhaps to celebrate something in the family, you could opt for two glasses of different sizes (the larger one for water and the smaller one for wine) and if you also want to play with the location, Know that the wine glass generally is placed higher and behind the glass for water.
