Etiquette at the Table

Practice these tips whenever you are at the meal table.

Do not put your elbows on the table. Help set the table. A traditional table setting has the napkin and fork to the left of the plate, and the knife (the blade facing the plate), the spoon, and the cup to the right of the plate. Fancier table settings can include many different forks, knives, and spoons for different courses. Just remember that the utensil furthest from the plate is for the first course, and moving towards the plate for the later courses. Finish chewing and swallowing before you start talking. Try not to chew with your mouth open. Eat with your silverware, not your hands (unless it is finger food). If you cannot reach something, politely ask someone else at the table to hand it to you – don't reach for it. Put you napkin on your lap. Don't play with your food. If you have to sneeze, cover your mouth with your napkin and say, "Excuse me." If you notice someone has something in his or her teeth, let him or her know quietly, but do not make a big deal out of it. If you spill something, help clean it up. Sit tall and interact with the other people at the table. If you are at home or a guest at someone's house, help clear the table once the meal is finished. Before you leave the table, make sure the meal is finished and it is appropriate to leave.
