Yes.
Well, I always say dress your best if there's not a dress code, but it is best to have a dress code so people know what to expect beforehand.
But make sure your table is beautiful.
Don't put paper napkins on the table because paper napkins are suitable for children's parties, not adults.
This is a time to showcase your finest china and silverware and linen napkins.
Make sure you use your best linen napkins.
Glassware, I recommend crystal.
And always serve your guests on a tray.
It's much more elegant than just passing a glass if you hand it on a tray, and preferably a silver tray, of course.
And if you pass a glass of wine to your guests, always hold it by the stem so it's easier to pick up and you have that poised position so it looks more elegant.
And if you are opening up a bottle of champagne, make sure you don't point it at anybody.
And you pour it, when you pour it, actually you do a little twist and that way you don't spill it, spill the champagne.
They can just visit me.
It's really easy, ladyetiquette.com.
And I'm also on social media at the Lady Etiquette on Instagram and Lady Etiquette Academy on Facebook.
It's called swanswimwear.com, and it's a retro line inspired by golden Hollywood, and it's beautiful.
It all comes up quite high, so it's more modest and classy, and it's a beautiful line.
I'm very proud of it, so go check it out at swanswimwear.com.
Absolutely.
One important tip, if I may give, at Christmas, remember to say Merry Christmas or Happy Christmas, not Happy Holidays, because Happy Holidays is a bit disingenuous and the truth should not be shamed.
