Given this is a dinner party at home, and not a formal occasion, pudding utensils at the top seems most appropriate.

I'd not be sure which order to put them in if at the side of the plate: working inwards from the starter is the usual order, but they'd look pretty silly on the inside of full-sized dinner knives and forks.

Some restaurants which lay the table with all cutlery will place them at the top and then move them to the sides just before the pudding is served, which seems like a nice compromise.

Yes - I thought it was to do with how formal the occasion is.
