1. Sit down:
Guests should always stand and wait for the host or hostess to invite them to sit down before the host or hostess invites them to sit down. If the seat has armrests, guests should sit on the left side of the seat with their backs to the right. Sit gracefully, don't worry or panic, and avoid knocking on chairs or touching other objects.
2. Seats:
At a formal banquet, the arrangement of seats is usually determined by factors such as status, identity and closeness. Generally speaking, the following are common seating arrangements:
Attendant: usually the host or the person with the highest status, sitting in the center of the main table or table.
* Guest of honor: usually the highest-ranking guest, sitting on the right or opposite of the guest of honor.
Deputy hostess: usually the host or the person with the second highest status, sitting to the left or opposite of the hostess.
* Deputy guest of honor: usually the guest with the second highest status, sitting to the right or opposite of the deputy guest of honor.
* Other guests: seated in turn according to identity, status, relationship and other factors, usually arranged radially around the host and accompanying personnel.
It should be noted that different countries or regions may have different seating arrangements and cultural differences. Before attending the banquet, you'd better know about the local culture and etiquette to avoid being rude or rude. At the same time, in the process of eating, we should observe the basic table manners, such as keeping elegant, avoiding spitting when talking, and not using mobile phones.
