@katarina.etiquette: Replying to @Melissa A host is not required to open and serve a gifted bottle of wine or a box of sweets 🍾🍫 When we’re visiting someone’s home, it is good manners not to arrive empty handed and bring a little something for the host 🙏 However, we shouldn’t expect this to be opened during the venue. It is entirely up to the host to decide. On the other hand though, the host should have some refreshments (snacks, drinks, coffee or tea) already prepared for the guests ✅ #etiquette #etiquettetips #etiquettecoach #etiquetteexpert #manners #mannersmatter #modernmanners #levelup #tablemanners #socialetiquette #diningetiquette #etiquette101 #elegance #classy #elegantlady
