Sophie Jensen4 years ago Beautiful! Ive always been called classy. I just think its common sense and considerate.
id like to bring up the early bird i find it really id="hidden14" disrespectful to arrive too early. The hostess is preparing for a certain time and not ready to entertain yet. They early bird wants to chat or ask for something and it throws off the planning. I experience this all the time when running events, talks or hosting. Ive now had to put it in the invitation no early birds please.
please do a video on etiquette for being too early. Weve been trained early is better than late but not always. I prefer to host without help so arriving early to help should be done with permission.
thank you for your lovely inspiration. ...Expand 12
