Table Manners & Etiquette for Weddings

"Hello I am Elena Brouwer from the International Etiquette Center in Hollywood, Florida. Website is etiquettecenter.com. We are talking about table manners; this is a fancy table setting. Sometimes when you go to a wedding and you get a setting like this, you also see a card. This card will have somebody’s name on it; you should sit at your place and not try to switch it with somebody else like I did because it really makes it difficult for the people who planned to have the right setup at each table. So just stay where you are and enjoy your meal. A table like this sometimes would also come with a menu card that will tell you what you will be getting, which of course you already have an idea when you see all of this silverware. In this case we know what we are having; we know that we are going to be drinking a lot of wines. And of course we also have our individual salt and pepper; this is only seen in fancy settings."
