Ask the Experts
Don't expect to see your question quoted on our website, as we consider it much too personal and intimate. Instead, we respond to you privately by email. We find that if one person has a question, many others have the same question but haven't asked it. However, address questions in articles that we post online at www.circleofelegance.com. Thank you for taking the time to contact us, as it helps ensure we're providing the information you want. This is your opportunity to ask those questions about which fork to use or how to set a formal table! As it's name suggests, www.etiquetteonthego.com is designed to provide quick answers and photo examples.
Though well-qualified and experienced, our staff is all volunteers, so we may not be able to respond immediately. Please be patient, as we strive to reply as soon as possible. In the meantime, our companion websites, www.ladypersonified.com and www.questionofmanners.com, provide more details and interesting facts about the origins of the rules.
