Here are some tips and etiquette rules to live by:
Don’t curse…it’s just that it’s quite vulgar, if you do feel the urge: do it when no one is around.
Always say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’. This is common courtesy, but being polite will certainly help you get what you want in a mannered, elegant way.
Keep your head up, your chest forward and your back straight.
No need to be a drama queen, ever…
When you get an invitation it’s really basic etiquette to answer within a reasonable timeframe.
Arrive on time when you’re meeting with someone (ok: clothing emergencies can sometimes come in between, but try to decide on your outfit in advance and have a plan B outfit, one that already has been tested and approved)
Don’t spend hours telephoning on your mobile when you’re in company, not soo amusing for the company…
There is no such thing as overdressed. I’d rather be too chique than be a slob.
Make sure your nails and hands are nicely manicured and your hair is washed. A note on the hair: the guy who invented dry shampoo should really get a statue!
After a party: thank the host the day after! If it was a crappy party you can forget about this one, it’s also etiquette to be honest, you know…
