A lot can happen over coffee and dinner, but not if you have poor table manners! \u00a0\u00a0Yes, you get judged even at the dining\u00a0table, whether you are meeting someone at a cafe, attending a sit-down dinner party at a friend’s home, or dining at a fancy restaurant. \u00a0So, knowing proper etiquette is important to make a good impression.<\/p>\n

1. Seating Arrangement<\/h2>\n

Always wait for your host to guide you to your seat; he\/she may already have seating arrangements in mind. \u00a0If you are the host, keep in mind to guide the guests to their seats. The guest of honor will always be seated to the host’s right and the second most important guest to the host’s left.<\/p>\n

2. Posture<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Sit upright; do not slouch. \u00a0Remember not to place your elbows on the table. \u00a0Keep them by your side so that you don’t elbow\u00a0the person sitting next to you.<\/p>\n
