The Holiday season is upon us and
many of you will be going to parties and family events, so – we thought it
would be a good time to review some etiquette tips to make your Grandma and
others proud:
1. Remember to take a small gift. A plant or flowers
(in a vase) would be nice.
2. Be on time. There is nothing more irritating
to the host, be it Grandma or your Aunt Nellie, to arrive late for dinner.
3. Do not invite a guest to go with you without
checking in advance.
In addition, remember…
·
No
hats on at the dinner table
·
Napkins
on your lap
·
Let
Grandma take the hostess take the first bite before you start to eat
·
Praise
the food, even if you don’t like it
·
Offer
to help with the dishes or at least to clear the table
·
Be
sure to thank the Host, Hostess and anyone else who contributed to the dinner
If you do all this, plus a big hug
for Grandma, I guarantee she’ll love you forever.
