How to be seated at the party

Before entering the banquet hall, first know your table and seat. When taking a seat, pay attention to whether your name is written on the seat card on the table. Don't sit around. If there is a usher to guide the guests to take a seat, the guests should walk behind the usher, not in advance. If men and women go to dinner together, men should walk in the position of women's left back half step.

When seated, sit on the left side of the chair. If you want to go out for a phone call or convenience during the meal, exit from the left side. For women, there is usually a receptionist to pull out the chair, when there is no receptionist, the man should replace it. If you are a man sitting next to an elderly person or woman, you should take the initiative to open the chair and help them sit down.

The right way for a guest to take a seat from the left side is: first step into the gap between the tables and chairs with one foot, and then follow with the other foot. At this time, the body reaches the seat, the upper body remains straight, and the lower body bends and sits vertically. When you sit down, don't be flustered, look left and right, and don't sit down. It's impolite. Generally speaking, the most international standard sitting posture is: keep the upper body straight, the width of the body from the table two fists.
