ETIQUETTE OF THE HOUSE
Dear ladies, in a little 'you finally owning your own home. From an old French proverb good landlord "cook in the kitchen, living philosopher, ambassador at the table." But you know the rules of etiquette?

The place of honor at a rectangular table is the center of the longest side of the table with their backs to the wall
*
The owner reserves the right to their place on the guest's or older, while the left one next in order of importance, the landlord does the same with the ladies
*
If the invitation is your boss (working), and is not married or betrothed, the best thing is to invite a colleague
*
the placeholder, in the style of the table, on which the name is written by hand, it puts on the plate
*
If the guests are more women than men and more men than women, try as much as possible to arrange the placeholder in order to have a uniform distribution, it will prevent a small group of only women whose speeches will focus on makeup, clothes and some gossip, and that this unfortunate man sitting next to you are bored to death. Instead, it will also prevent that in the group of men you just end up talking animatedly football or Formula 1, and that the unfortunate woman takes pouting all day!
