Rules when attending a western party

Many of us have trouble being invited to a Western party. No problem, we can overcome it based on two basic things: one is to start from the root of the problem and the other is to practice a lot.

The rules of conduct when attending a banquet are Ceremonies. Make sure the Ceremony is first, that's the root of the problem, then the rest of section will appear simple.

I have read a fairly long article on tips to remember partner names. But the real problem is that we often get nervous and distracted when we get used to it, not because of bad memory. Looking straight and listening intently when someone introduces you - that is part of the virtue of respect for others, so it solves the problem. You see, if processed from the root, everything will become a lot simpler.

Or another story is that "food is put in your mouth, not your mouth in food" is not purely technical using knife and fork. It comes from mood. A noble attitude and patience are the key to this. Therefore, please keep in mind like that, keeping Mass and showing culture is the first imperative.

A cafe that I know often holds a very successful customer event because the guests have been practicing every day when they arrive. From walking, talking, respecting space, queuing, asking for more drinks or self-service, it has become a routine, so even in large-scale events, everything is still out of control.

Returning to the problem, the party is a very generic name, it can be banquet, cocktail, reception, luncheon, sauterie, gouter, surprise party, al fresco ... that people often divide roughly into banquets, parties drinking, buffet, banquet, makeup, outdoor party ... The name of the party helps us solve many problems, from the first - choosing costumes to preparing what skills to eat.

In general, the first issue is what to wear, usually the party owner has provided dress code right in the invitation already.

There are gatherings, wine parties, and even receptions - it's an increasing order of respect. Of course there are also a few casual receptions and formal gatherings. Again, solemnity depends on the circumstances.

Meetings are often more social and more comfortable, often organized simply by a group of people who have known each other before. Request costumes in these sessions from casual to business casual. On the other hand, the wine party is the session where most of the guests do not know each other, and therefore need to dress more formally to make each other look better. Meetings like these create lots of new relationships and new businesses. Ordering outfits during these sessions is usually from business casual to black tie optional. The reception, which welcomes a new couple, a new corporation president, or a new child. Although there are simple reception, most are solemn, because guests need to show respect to the host. Sessions like this require semi-formal to black tie. White feasts or events organized during the day will be a white tie.

The next problem, when attending the party, one thing also belongs basically, that is "host before guest later.". This is the golden rule if you feel like you don't know what to do, simply observe and follow the instructions of the host. For example, toast after a toast, to eat after everyone has settled and the host began, even to what hand to use … Because of the fact that eating rules also vary in different localities and different strata. The same people are Germans - some people break bread with their hands, but some use knives and forks in all dishes, or Japanese people - some people use sushi chopsticks, some people use their hands in the traditional way …

However, while "observing what others do, following it" is a relatively right thing, but not enough. I can for example have a small item but bring a story worth pondering - the handkerchief. There are many Europeans who do not hesitate to blow their nose very loudly into the smell of rubbing anywhere, even on the dining table, they do not consider it impolite or serious, just like a Korean who makes a loud sound while eating.

But it can be said with certainty that the nobility and the teachings of the East or the West do not accept such noises. We should pay attention to this point to avoid one batch of silver carp and misunderstand that everyone behaves like that. Proactively equip knowledge and practice every day instead of being passive looking and imitating.

And finally, the most important thing in that party is communication. Communication is everywhere, and is the key to many problems. From politely asking if the waiter can eat or not, to sharing the story with those around him. From a cocktail party where you can talk freely and intimately to a business party where people are well-mannered and serious about business.

Always remember,” A polite greeting is better than a good meal," and we, our spirits are higher than this banquet table, it cannot make it difficult for a gentleman.
