And if that means that you need to keep a "crib sheet" ready, so be it. There's nothing wrong with a diagram for when you either set a table, or to check out prior to a big night out.

That's one more reason I love my mom's old Auburn Cookbook. Not only does it contain some of the best recipes in the history of ever, it diagrams how to set tables/sideboards for everything from luncheons to formal dinners to buffet meals.
