Schemka asked:

Hello my boyfriend and I wanted to throw a barbeque sort of like a little get together with our friends and I wanted to know how do u get rid of unwanted guest that were not invited. and what should I wear since I am the host of the event, thanks

The Etiquette Queen says:

If you make sure adults are there, they can deal with unwanted crashers for you. Be sure to have some on hand for the entire evening. Since I assume that this is a casual evening, I would wear a favorite top with a pair of jeans.


Julie asked:

My parents 50th anniversary is coming up the 31rst of July. My sister and I can't afford to throw a party. Is there anything else we can do that is expectable? I can't just let it go by. If we through a small party I'm afraid we will offend someone who didn't get invited, and neither my sister or I have the room.

The Etiquette Queen says:

Why not treat them to an overnight at a bed and breakfast or an evening on the town with everything pre-arranged. Make it romantic. find a wedding picture and a current picture of them and have them put together and blown up for your parents. Ask friends and relatives to send you a memory and/or a photo and put them labeled in an album.


Matt asked:

I am planning our High School Prom pretty much by myself. I am getting the programs printed, but what I send them is what they print. My question is when I am listing the guys and girls for Prom Court on the back page of the program, do I make two columns and label the first Girls and the second Guys, or are there more appropriate titles to give the columns?

The Etiquette Queen says:

What has been used before? If there is one particular listing used many times in the past, I would say to use this. If it has changed each year, look at what was done and see what you like. You don't need to reinvent the wheel.


Marx-Mozilla asked:

What is the proper Champagne Glass etiquette for serving champagne? Saucers or Flute ?

The Etiquette Queen says:

Flute - lets the bubbles breathe and looks good.


Iris asked:

Who should make the toast's) at the wedding rehearsal party.

The Etiquette Queen says:

Generally, the best man makes one. Then anyone who feels like it can. I loved when my father and my father-in-law did it. Brought the families closer


Suzanne asked:

Should waiters/waitresses serve food from the left or right of the diner? Then from what side should they be removing the plate? Thanks >

The Etiquette Queen says:

Serve from the left, remove from the right.


Sharon asked:

A close friend of mine is hosting a bridal shower for my daughter and we were curious to know the significance of the Jordan almond used in favors. Should there be a certain number of almonds used according to a tradition or using white only etc.? Thanks for the information if there is some....

The Etiquette Queen says:

Almost every day someone comes up with something I have never heard of before. Today is your day. I can't even imagine the reason or origin of this custom. You might try the local library or try keyword Jordan almond. If you find out, let me know.


Kristin asked:

During a bus. function such as a convention what side do you put your name badge?

The Etiquette Queen says:

People usually put it on the left. I really don't know why. I have seen some on the right but for some unexplained reason, I have a harder time reading it.


Eric asked:

How to impress a girl that way out of one's league by throwing a party??

The Etiquette Queen says:

I don't believe that anyone is out-of-someone's-league. It is all about how you look at yourself. Your are unique, just like everyone else. I also don't think throwing a party is a good way to get to know or impress someone. Find out what she likes to do or where she likes to go. Then ask her to do that.


Cynthia asked:

I want to know about envelope etiquette for wedding invitations. Thanks.

The Etiquette Queen says:

Inside the large envelope addressed the invitation is put in with the fold going to the bottom. Inside the main invitation is the reply card with a small envelope, addressed and stamped.


Margaret asked:

Are the little stirrers served with alcoholic drinks also used for drinking the drink?

The Etiquette Queen says:

That's why they are called stirrers. After stirring your drink, remove stirrer.
