•Dress according to the recommended dress code。
NEVER attempt to ”out dress” the hostess!根据建议的着装打扮.穿着永远不要试图盖过女主人的光芒.•Be punctual – you should not be late.守时—你不应该迟到•If you wish to bring a guest as your partner， etiquette demands that you should always check with the host first. However， if your family is invited, it is okay to ask if your children are included. Make sure your children know good table manners before they go and behave accordingly： no running around, no shouting. As the British used to say; Children should be seen， not heard！Their bad behavior will reflect on you。
If you are the one hosting the party and a guest of yours arrives with an unexpected friend, be polite & courteous with them， and speak with your inconsiderate guest at another time!如果你希望携带另外一名客人作为你的同伴参与，礼节上你应该事先与主人家确定是否可行。
进餐时的礼仪：（General manners while dining）在家庭式的用餐中常常是把一盘菜传到各位的面前，有时由主人把菜拿到客人面前，稍微讲究一点的会有佣人把菜呈到客人面前。
如果是传的话，你要按其他盘子传的同一个方向把菜传给下一位。
当你拿到传过来的菜盘子，你可以从中取菜。
在取的时候，不要取超过餐桌上人数比例的量，这样的话餐桌上的每一个人都能得到一份。
如果你不想吃传过来的菜，那就把它递给下一位，但是千万不要解释你为什么不吃或者作什么评论。
如果是有人把菜盘子端给你，他会问你是否需要，你可以简单地回答“是的，请给一些”或者“谢谢，我不需要”。
