I thought I would start Etiquette Monday's with more of an explanation of what Etiquette means, as this will give you a better understanding of what you will see here going forwards.
A quick Google search and you will find the definition of Etiquette as described below (courtesy of Dictionary.com);
- Conventional requirements as to social behaviour; proprieties of conduct as established in any class or community or for any occasion.
- a prescribed or accepted code of usage in matters of ceremony, as at a court or in official or other formal observances.
- the code of ethical behaviour regarding professional practice or action among the members of a profession in their dealings with each other: medical etiquette.
Well it's a set of customs and traditions, much like eating turkey at Christmas, that have been formed over the years, and form part of our normal rituals without us realising it. Its seemingly small actions that form a bigger picture to create something a little special. But, most importantly, they are adaptable, they are not set in stone, and the world won't end if you don't follow them.
Over the next few weeks and months, I will walk you through some Etiquette rules. Some you know already, some you will have never heard of, and some that will seem ridiculous.
My goal is to arm you with knowledge, not dictate what you should and shouldn't do. Its your event after all.
Are there any Etiquette rules that confuse you? Is there something you want me to cover?
Let me know in the comments and I will build my posts around them.
Thanks, Charlotte
