Napkin Etiquette & Table Manners
Hello I am Elena Brouwer from the International Etiquette Center in Hollywood, Florida. Our Website is www.etiquettecenter.com. We are here at the lovely Sea View Hotel in Bal Harbour, Florida. On behalf of ExpertVillage.com, I welcome you and let’s get started. You have been invited to a fancy dinner and you look at all the silverware, look at all the glasses, where do we start? Well the first thing that we need to think about is your napkin. That is where you start; you need to place your napkin on your lap. Now what not to do would be to shake your napkin up as if it is a flag. What not to do do not put your napkin on your neck as a bib. What you do is that you unfold your napkin on your lap and you are ready.
