Nowadays, more and more people hold western-style weddings, so everything follows the western style. Let me sort out the information for you, hoping it will help you!

I. Rules for the Arrangement of Wedding Seats

1. All the other doors are open. According to the requirements of etiquette, the seats facing the main entrance of the restaurant are higher than those facing the main entrance of the restaurant.

2. Cross arrangement. When arranging seats in western food, we should pay attention to the principle of cross arrangement, that is, men and women should cross arrangement, and acquaintances and strangers should also cross arrangement. In the eyes of westerners, the purpose of banquets is to expand interpersonal relationships, so that people can chat with the guests around them and achieve social goals.

3. Ladies first. In western food etiquette, the principle of ladies first is often embodied. When arranging dining seats, the hostess is usually the first host and takes a seat in the main seat. And the man is the second Lord, sitting in the position of the second Lord.

4. Distance positioning. The ranking of seats on the western dining table is determined by their distance from the theme. The position near the theme is higher than the position away from the theme.

5. Respect rights. When arranging seats, respecting rights is the basic principle. As far as an instrument is concerned, according to etiquette, its right side is higher than its left side. When ordering western food, the male guest of honor should be on the right side of the hostess, and the female guest of honor should be on the right side of the male host. According to this principle, they should be arranged in turn.

Second, the main location arrangement of the long wedding table

1. French seating style. The host is located in the middle, and the male and female hosts sit opposite each other. The hostess is the male guest of honor on the right, the male guest of honor on the left, the female guest of honor on the right and the female guest of honor on the left. The accompanying guests should sit as close as possible.

2. British and American seating styles. There are male and female hosts at both ends of the table. If the couple are invited together, the man will sit on the right hand side of the hostess and the woman will sit on the right hand side of the hostess. On the left, the second guest will be seated. If the guests are accompanied, please try to sit in the middle.

On grand occasions, if the dining table is arranged in a separate room, you should not bring the dining table into the room without permission before the hostess invites you to sit down. If they are all friends, everyone can sit at will: on other occasions, guests should sit according to the instructions of the hostess. Guests should obey the host's arrangement. It is polite to sit down after the hostess and other ladies sit down. Generally speaking, the banquet should be presided over by the hostess. If the hostess says, "Have a good appetite", it means you can eat. It is very impolite for the hostess to put a spoon in her mouth before speaking.

Seats in western-style wedding banquets are generally arranged according to the status of the guests, and the seats of female guests are determined according to the status of their husbands. You can also sit in different categories, such as men and women, lovers and foreigners. In our country, western food is usually used to entertain guests, and men and women usually sit separately according to their positions.

The details reflect the style and arrangement etiquette of western wedding tableware.

If you want to prepare a western-style wedding, it is very important to know the etiquette of the western-style wedding reception in advance, which will not only give the guests the most distinguished banquet experience, but also show your intention to arrange the wedding. In order to avoid the mess on the dining table, we usually follow some rules when setting the tableware.

General rules of tableware placement

The general rule of table layout is to put three tableware on both sides of the plate. However, there are exceptions. If you need to use an oyster fork or seafood fork on the dining table, it may be placed on the right side of the plate and the right side of the spoon, making it the fourth tableware on the right side of the plate. For a typical formal western-style wedding banquet, the details can be seen in the table layout.

1. Big plate

The big plate is located in the center of the dining table.

2. Bread and butter plate

This small bread tray is placed on the right side of the big plate, above the fork, and there will be a butter knife in it.

3. Cup

Put the goblet above the guest's knife, and put the slender champagne glass between the goblet and the rest. The arc of the red wine glass is large, so you can hold the bottom of the red wine glass with your palm. White wine glasses have long legs and a cylindrical belly. When holding a white wine glass, you can only hold its legs. Finally, sherry glasses may also appear on the dining table. Sherry wine glasses are small and may be placed on the right side of the glasses, which also means that sherry will go with soup.

fork

Put the salad fork an inch to the left of the big plate, the fork to the left of the salad fork and the harpoon to the left of the fork.

5. Cutting machine

If you have meat dishes, you can also put a meat cutter one inch to the right of the big plate and a fish knife to the right of the knife. The butter knife is placed on the butter bread plate, and the handle is inclined to the guest.

Step 6 spoon

Spoons or fruit spoons are placed on the right side of the plate and the right side of the knife.

7. Oyster fork

If there is an oyster fork, put it on the right side of the spoon or fruit spoon. Oyster fork, also known as seafood fork, is the only fork placed on the right side of the plate. The fork head can be placed in a bowl with a spoon, and the handle forms a 45-degree angle with the desktop. Before eating, you can also put it parallel to the right of the soup spoon or fruit spoon.

8. dessert fork or spoon

The dessert fork or spoon can be placed horizontally on the big plate, or it can be served to the guests when dessert is served.

9. salt and pepper

The salt bottle is located at the lower right of the pepper bottle and the pepper bottle is located at the upper left of the salt bottle, with a slight angle between them. Generally, salt bottles and pepper bottles are placed on the top of the whole set of tableware or between the two sets of tableware for the convenience of everyone. In addition, on formal occasions, salt is usually placed in a salt dish, which is convenient for guests to control the amount of salt. There will be a small spoon in the salt dish, which guests can use to sprinkle salt on their food.

10. Wash the finger bowl

Finger washing bowl refers to the bowl used to wash fingers on the dining table, which usually appears at the end of the meal.

Wedding guest etiquette

Don't challenge the bottom line of alcohol consumption

Yes, everyone would like to have a drink at the wedding. But be careful not to drink all the time. You know, sometimes there is a fine line between drunkenness and drunkenness. Everyone can see that. Drink more. When everyone laughs with your drunken words, the bride and groom will definitely not laugh.

Don't make impromptu speeches.

You drink too much; The bride didn't invite you to her wedding; Do you know what happened to the bride and groom? Whether you are just one of them or all of them, stay away from the microphone throughout the wedding.

Don't find new people to solve problems.

Unless your life is threatened, there is nothing worth finding a new person to solve. Talk to someone else and solve the problem. Never stop the bride and cry to her about the misfortune of locking your car keys in the car. She wants blessings, not farce.

Don't come empty-handed

No matter how big or small the ostentation and extravagance, a wedding will cost the bride and groom a lot of money. There are no gifts or even greeting cards, so you are here to join in the fun, not to bless the couple. As the saying goes, courtesy is light and affection is heavy, and the heart entrusted in the ceremony is the most important.

Don't ignore the dress code

If the bride and groom put forward special requirements for dress, it is probably to create a visual effect, or the venue has requirements for guests' clothes, such as high-end hotels. It would be very foolish to wear a beach skirt when you should wear an evening dress. Besides, ignoring the dress code means that you either didn't read the invitation correctly or you didn't take it seriously. Then you don't care.

Don't bring unpleasant people.

No bride wants to see her old friends holding hands with her ex-boyfriend or sworn enemy at the wedding. Please have a snack when choosing the date.

Do not complain about music and food &; Don't be late.

Whether you like it or not, remember that the bride and groom's family spent a lot of time and money preparing for the wedding. Letting others hear your complaints about the wedding will make people feel that you are even more disappointing.

This is not a horror movie at home on Friday night, this is a wedding. Being present on time is both respectful and necessary. There is no reason for being late. Besides, the newcomer paid a lot of money to invite you. Why not think it's worth it?

Take care of your children.

If the bride and groom are kind, you can bring your children to the wedding, at least show some respect and pay attention to them. If the child cries in the middle of the ceremony, take him out quickly. Don't let the children play hide-and-seek under the table, and don't let them.
