Manners, Anyone? |
Always begin the introduction using the most honored person's name first.
Here are the rules which clarify who is the most honored person:
Brother Smith, Mr. or Mrs. Jones."
Example: Say, "Grandmother, this is my friend from school, Laura Andrews." Always say the last name.
Turn to Laura and say, "Laura, this is my Grandmother, Mrs. Jenson."
Because your grandmother's name may be different from yours, always use the lat name when
introducing people. Also, Laura would feel uncomfortable calling your grandmother, "Grandmother or
Grandma."
