Attention should be paid to seating etiquette on the wine table.

1、? Main guard? Location: The host is the first person to queue up to treat guests, that is, the highest-ranking person who treats guests, or the most distinguished person who accompanies the wine. It's in front of the front door. The main function is basically the owner of the manor, grasping the time of this banquet and the degree of drinking.

2、? Assistant? Location: The escort is the second priority of the guests, and the second most distinguished person among the guests. The position is opposite to the main guard, that is, the back is to the gate. Traditionally, this position should be held by the person who pays the bill. However, with the prevalence of hospitality corruption in recent years, under normal circumstances, guests are rushed out, so there is no need to let the second-ranked guests pay for such a trivial matter in person. So this position is more about driving guests to drink.

3、? Escort? Location: This is a name that has just become popular in recent years. Actually, this position is the same as above? Main guard? And then what? Assistant? The title of. Some places don't have this position, but in Jinan, there seems to be an increasing trend. The position is the second position on the right hand side of the main guard. His main function is to be a left and a right companion? Vip? Sandwiched in the middle, easy to take care of. If you are not particularly familiar with the local customs, it is not recommended that you take this seat.

4、? Vip? Venue: The guest of honor is the first class of the guests, and it is the place where the highest-ranking or most distinguished guests do it. Where is the location? Main guard? It's on the right. Because many people care about the severity of drinking in Shandong, foreign guests who know a little about Shandong rules sometimes choose to let people who drink a lot sit in this position, which is wrong. The rule of treating guests is actually a kind of etiquette, but its essence is a kind of respect. If the above situation occurs, in fact, the real guests will not drink much less, and the honorary guests will generally be poured down (because you are not the most distinguished guest but sit in the guest position, just because you can drink, the guests must accompany you well), so the guests are not worth the candle, so don't avoid it! ! !

5、? Deputy guest of honor? Location: it is the second priority of the guest. Where is the location? Main guard? The left hand side.

6、? Sanbin? Location: The vice guest is the third guest waiting in line. Where is the location? Assistant? It's on the right.

7、? Four guests? Location: The vice guest is the fourth guest waiting in line. Where is the location? Assistant? The left hand side.

These are the basic postures at the dinner table. It should be pointed out that what is listed above? Main guard? Vip? Assistant? Deputy guest of honor? These four positions are reversed, which will be embarrassing. ? Escort? In some places, the location is more particular. ? Sanbin? And then what? Four guests? Most areas are divided in this way, but in some places the rules are slightly different. For example, I know that in some places, the guests after the third place are arranged in turn. Vip? And then what? Deputy guest? After that, commonly known as? Sit up? . When you can't accurately grasp the local customs, can you? Should the inconvenience be changed? , is to sit according to the arrangement of the host, to prevent omissions.

Order of tables

There are round tables in general family banquets and restaurants, so there is no distinction between the order of tables. However, if the banquet is held in a restaurant or auditorium, when there are two or more round tables, the size must be determined. The principle of its positioning is to take the back of the restaurant or auditorium as the right position, the right side is the largest and the left side is the smallest. If there are three tables in the meeting place, the largest in the middle, the second on the right and the smallest on the left.

(3) arranging seats After the guests are invited, they must arrange seats for the guests. At present, the Chinese round table banquet in China has two seats, Chinese and Western. The two methods are different, but the basic principle is the same. Generally speaking, we must pay attention to the following principles:

1, respect for the right, the table and seat arrangement above has already mentioned the principle of respect for the right, and the seat arrangement is also respect for the right and humility. Therefore, if men and women sit side by side, men are left and women are right, and the right side is the biggest. If there are two tables in the seat, the male and female hosts will chair them separately, and the table on the right is the largest. The same is true of the arrangement of guest seats, that is, the male and female hosts have the largest right side and the smallest left side.

2. People with high status or position are most respected. People with high status are seated according to the position of the position, that is, the rank, and cannot exceed it.

3. If the positions or positions are the same, they must be positioned according to the traditional habits of official positions.

4. Observe diplomatic practice. According to national practice, when a country's head of government, such as the president or guests, the foreign minister ranks before other ministers.

5. A woman's husband is the most important, ranking in the same order as her husband. That is, among many guests, male guests ranked first and his wife ranked second. However, if the invitee is a female guest, because she is a minister, and this gentleman's position is not obvious, such as the chairman of a large company, it will definitely rank behind all ministers, and the husband may not be as expensive as his wife.

6. When government officials, heads of social organizations and social elites attend the banquet, the order is government officials, heads of social organizations and social elites.

7. Europeans and Americans regard banquets as the best social occasions, so they are divided into seats, that is, men and women are divided into seats, and men and women are separated when ranking. Husband and wife, father and daughter, mother and son, brother and sister must be separated. If there are foreign guests present, China people will sit with them.

8. Abide by social morality, be orderly with children, and be different from teachers and students, especially in informal banquet occasions. If a gentleman is a minister and a professor is his mentor, in informal situations, the professor's ranking cannot be lower than that of the minister.

9. Female guests can't be arranged at the bottom of the seat.

10, when the host and hostess come forward to give a banquet, there are always two men and two women sitting side by side, whether it is a round table or a long table, when there are eight people, twelve people, sixteen people, twenty people and twenty-four people (and so on). This possibility is unavoidable. So the ideal seating arrangement is six people, ten people, fourteen people and eighteen people (and so on).

1 1. If the host or hostess invites his immediate superior and the manager invites his chairman to the banquet, the host or hostess must be humble and sit in the second place.

These are the principles of seating arrangement. Due to the arrangement of seats, once a guest sits at the table and looks around or around the guests, he will be pecked.
