Instructions
Step 1
Guests should invite guests for breakfast, lunch, dinner or tea in advance so that guests can prepare for the meeting. If one of the invitees cannot come, he must warn about this, and he may not explain the reason, and it is considered indecent to question him. It is necessary to inform the guests in advance what the event will be connected with, what form of clothing is suitable and how long the planned feast will last.
Step 2
You need to come to visit exactly at the specified time. If the guest is more than 10 minutes late, he can not wait and invite everyone else to the table. When the guests are already seated at the table, the latecomer must apologize. If many guests are invited, it is not necessary to introduce everyone to each other: it is enough to introduce the newcomer to everyone. A newcomer is not obliged to greet everyone by the hand, but only to nod to everyone.
Step 3
When all the guests are seated at the table, the hostess should talk about the prepared dishes and invite everyone to try them, as well as advise where to start.
There may be some awkwardness or tension at the table at first. In this case, defusing the situation (telling a funny incident, a funny story, joking) is the responsibility of the hostess.
