How To Arrange Guests To Take Seats

When dinner is ready, the first course (if not the hot dishes) should be placed on the table in advance without assistants, so that the hostess can join the guests.

If there are not many people, the hostess can loudly announce the beginning of the meal. When people are more numerous, they can let the guests notifications to each other.

It is very learned to arrange guests to take seats. The hostess should lead the most distinguished lady into the restaurant and let her sit on his right side.

A distinguished guest can also be the oldest woman, or a friend who has not visited for a long time.

The next important female guest should be placed on the left side of the hostess.

The hostess usually sits at the end of the table, and the important male guest should sit on her left side.

Attention must be paid to the uniform arrangement of men and women, and to try to separate the couple from each other.

When the crowd is too many, it is hard for the hostess to tell the seats of the guests. At this time, the seat cards can be used.

(the arrow in the picture shows the matching of men's service for ladies).

If there is no seat card, the hostess should go forward and tell the guests their seats.

Ladies will sit down immediately after they find their seats, but the hostess should be seated at last.

A man should pull a chair for the lady on his right, and then sit down after the hostess takes her seat.

The most distinguished male guests will be holding the hostess when they enter the living room, but when seated, they should pull chairs for the lady on his right, while the hostess is served by the man on her left.

The guests of the left handers should be arranged in the corner, so that when he and the people next to him hold the chopsticks together, they will not bump into each other's arms.
