Lucy: Reply to the invitation soon. Did you receive an Evite? Sarah: Yes, I got an electronic card sent by e-mail. Lucy: Then you just need to click the link on the Evite email to RSVP. Sarah: OK. Then what do I need to prepar Lucy: Normally, you should bring a gift for your host. You can bring a bottle of wine or chocolates. Sarah: I think I’ll bring chocolates. What about the dress? Lucy: Well, it depends on who sent the invitation. If it is a friend or family member, you don’t need to be very formal, but don’t be underdressed. Sarah: I see. Is there a specific etiquette that I need to follow during the dinner? Lucy: Of course, there is. First, when sitting unfold your napkin and place it on your knee. When eating, if there are several cutlery sets beside the plate, start at the outside of your cutlery and work in. Sarah: Table manner always makes me nervous. I’m afraid I make mistakes. Lucy: Don’t worry. If you’re not sure what to do, just have a look to see what the other guests are doing. Sarah: Can I cool food by blowing onto it? Lucy: No, you can’t. And don’t leave lip-prints on glass Sarah: Alright. Anything else? Lucy: Don’t forget to compliment the food. Sarah: That’s all? Thanks a lot, Lucy! Lucy: Anytime, Sarah.
