At the dinner
Invite your guests to the dinner
table by saying something simple
such as: ”Dinner is served”.
The dinner starts when the
host/hostess raises their glass
and welcomes the guests.
Since guests should not start
eating before the host/hostess,
invite them to start or simply
start eating yourself, the guests
fill follow your example. (Keep
in mind that you should not
start unless everyone is served.)
Should a guest spill, don’t
make a fuss about it. Tidy it up
and continue with the conversation.
Never make guests feel
uncomfortable.
Leave all glasses on the table
during the entire meal.
Don’t put your guests to work
by asking them to clear the table
or do the washing up.
Don’t make a big deal if a
guest want to leave early. Simply
express that you are sorry
that they have to leave.
