Etiquette Tips for Ladies


Money does not mean class!
Here are some basic tips a lady should remember on her Valentines date:
  • A lady will always be on time and will never hesitate to wait for a gentleman to pull out her chair or open a door for her. 
  • She will face the people who are already in their seats when she makes her way down the row in a crowded theater. A lady never forces others to stare at her backside. 
  • She won’t apply lipstick at the table—only in the powder room. 
  • If she must excuse herself from the dinner table, she simply says, “Excuse me.” No further details are necessary. (don't say - "I'm going to the ladies room and I'll be back back," ... because everyone knows where you are going and they know you'll be back!)
  • If she must bend over to pick up something, she always bends from the knees—and never sticks her behind in the air.
Stay tuned - you know there are more tips to follow.
Happy Valentines Day!

Lovely tips. I am guilty of the lipstick faux pas (but only when with girlfriends, and in an informal setting). Guilty nonetheless!

Thank you for the reminders.
I did not know that when walking down an aisle that you face the people as you pass. All these years, I have been doing it wrong. How embarrassing! :) I will do it the right way next time.
Question...what if the person stands up because the aisle is so narrow and then you are face to face with them....eeekkkss!
