Anna Bay is a well-known blogger and matchmaker who has earned $ 1 billion in helping girls become happily married to millionaires. A girl from London knows firsthand how to behave in high society, and not only with wealthy men.
She shares the secrets of etiquette with women who want to act like true ladies.
Do not leave invitations unanswered
Anna Bay in her School of Affluence blog tells how uncultured to torment someone with her decision to visit. “If you were invited to dinner, to visit, or just spend time with the company, try to give an answer within a few hours. Silence prevents the owners from planning the event and shows your indifference,” a blogger known as JetSetBabe shares his advice with subscribers.
Anna is sure that women are silent, because they are simply afraid to do an act. To respond to an invitation, even if by refusal, is an action for which the guest is responsible, and many girls are simply not ready for responsibility.
"Plus one" in the invitation - no reason to come with someone without warning
Receiving an invitation card "for two", many girls rush to call a close friend or family member. Some do not come to the house alone without warning, citing forgetfulness.
In high society, such behavior is unacceptable. A girl should always notify with whom she is going to come to visit or to an event. If the invitation is for one person, it is forbidden to bring someone else with you.
Compliance with dress code without exception
Even members of the royal family do not allow themselves to violate the requirements of the event.
Girls who want to act like a lady should by no means depart from the dress code.
Do not come empty-handed
In Russia, such advice is also popular. The famous matchmaker recommends bringing a bottle of wine with him if invited to dinner.
If the appointment is scheduled during the day or the hosts do not drink alcohol, you can take a bouquet of flowers or sweets for tea.
Don't be the last one to leave the party
To be able to leave guests in time, not everyone knows how. Delayed visitors can cause inconvenience to the owners, as they will see the cleaning process or how tired the owners of the house want to go to bed. Do not leave in the evening among the last guests, especially if the house has children under 5 years old.
Do not participate in family disputes
Sometimes it happens that during a party someone starts to argue or conflict. You should never be the instigator of a scandal, even if guests or hosts provoke the manifestation of aggression.
An unpleasant party is best left with a proudly raised head, and not crawl away after a fight or public insults.
Always greet and say goodbye to everyone present
The first rule of etiquette at a party is friendliness. In relation to the owners it is worth paying special attention, but you should not forget about other guests.
Entering home, it is recommended to immediately say hello to those present. It is not necessary to personally shake hands or hug each guest, but a polite verbal reverence or a slight gesture with a head will make everyone understand that you have studied the basics of etiquette quite well.
You should say goodbye so that the hosts are aware that guests are leaving the party. Even if they are passionate about conversation or dinner, you can politely thank for the time spent, and not leave "in English".
