Serve Guest of Honor First





Dear Dr. Dave and Dr. Dee,

I am a server for a formal dinner party for 12. In what order should I serve the guests and is the host first or last?

Signed,

Need to Know

Dear Need to Know,

Traditionally, the guest of honor (female) is seated to the right of the host (male). Serve the guest of honor first, then serve others counter-clockwise around the table, serving the host last.
