Etiquette principle of wedding banquet
1. Newcomers can ask the staff of the banquet venue to provide a table map so that each guest can find his seat when signing in.
2. A greeting card can be placed in each seat, with instructions on the seating arrangement and a thank-you letter to the newcomers to enhance the atmosphere of each table; 3. The arrangement of dishes should consider the religious belief, physical condition and eating habits of the guests.
Since ancient times, the seating arrangement of wedding banquets has been closely related to the identity of the guests. Generally speaking, the seating arrangement of wedding banquets mainly has the following principles:
1. The position of the host and guest at the banquet is the center of the main entrance.
The closer the table and seat are to the host, the closer the relationship between the guest and the host will be.
At the wedding reception, the parents of the couple should have their own separate seats, close to each other, on both sides of the red carpet.
4. Newcomers' parents are generally not adjacent, and guests sit on the right hand side of both parents in the order of seniority.
5. In terms of seating arrangement, elders, brothers and sisters can be arranged at the same table or adjacent areas.
6, the host's company should be inserted between the guests as far as possible, in order to talk with the guests.
On the premise of conforming to the basic principles, it is time for newcomers to use their brains. In order to make guests have a different wedding experience, what methods can be used for reference in wedding seating arrangement?
Wedding guest etiquette: each has its own method.
Have you ever had such an experience: attending a banquet with your parents, the table was full of elders, and the delicious food became boring in front of you. Not only that, but also timid. If something goes wrong, you will lose face and the happy party will be lively. Since everyone has such an experience, why not let every relative and friend be embarrassed at their own wedding banquet?
Classifying the guest list according to the age of the couple, arranging the guests with similar ages at the same table, and arranging the dining table from long to young, not only respecting the elders, but also liberating the lively young people. In this way, for the elders, although everyone comes from various regions, they are linked by the same life background and experience, and they can communicate freely whether they recall the past or talk about their children's classics; For the younger generation, young people and children also gather at the same table with their peers, thus completely solving the generation gap problem when eating and chatting.
Wedding guest etiquette: scattered everywhere
The most common phenomenon in a wedding reception is that the closer the guests are to the back, the more difficult it is to integrate into the atmosphere of the wedding reception. It seems that only a full stomach of delicious food was harvested at the wedding. The reason why this phenomenon occurs is often because when new people arrange their seats, they arrange them according to their familiarity and importance, so distant relatives and old friends can only eat and drink as much as they like.
In order to solve this problem and let everyone feel the hospitality of the bride and groom, why not arrange a representative who can mobilize the atmosphere on each channel? Representatives familiar with the bride and groom can entertain guests at the same table instead of the newlyweds at the banquet, tell their love stories about each guest, and even help friends at the same table get to know each other and encourage them to participate in all aspects of the wedding, so that the wedding reception is no longer just a banquet.
Wedding guest etiquette: men and women touch each other.
The birth of a couple, the element of love is essential at the wedding reception. There are always some guests here who are still alone. How can the bride and groom stand by when they see their relatives and friends in such a state while taking a bath? Why not take the opportunity of the wedding reception to have a duel between men and women, and the next couple may be among them.
When arranging seats, separate single men and women on the list. Each table is arranged for couples' friends and lovers to mobilize the atmosphere, and the rest of the seats are arranged alternately for men and women. With the mobilization of the master of ceremonies, some interactive programs can be arranged on the spot to encourage the men and women at the same table to participate together and deepen their understanding. I believe that this arrangement has made many women and men excited, far happier than the moment they caught the bride's bouquet.
Matters needing attention in attending a wedding banquet
When you receive the invitation to the wedding banquet, you should reply in time whether the other party can attend as scheduled so that the other party can arrange it. After accepting the invitation, it is not appropriate to change it at will. If you can't attend as scheduled under special circumstances, you should explain the reasons to the other party as soon as possible.
You should wear a suit or dress at the wedding reception to show your respect for each other. Yiner Yiner's elegant dress series is the best choice, neither too high-profile nor generous, just to show your fashion experience.
A person's concept of time can reflect the inherent elegance. To attend the wedding banquet, it is best to arrive at the banquet place half an hour in advance, sign congratulations at the reception desk, and take the initiative to say hello and bless each other.
Well-cultivated urban women should be polite and decent at wedding banquets, and elegant dining is a compulsory course. When eating, the voice and movement should not be too loud, and always pay attention to elegant manners.
When talking and toasting with guests, newcomers should also stop eating, talking and listening. Newcomers and guests often go to other tables to propose a toast after their speeches. In this case, they should stand up and raise their glasses. When clinking glasses, look at each other to show respect.
If you need to leave early in case of emergency, you should inform the other party in advance, and it is best to wait until all the guests have finished speaking. You don't need to say hello to the bride and groom when you leave, but you should say hello to the people on both sides of the table.
