Event Etiquette
In order to step into the atmosphere and theme set by Your Fun Studio, it is advisable to get familiar with a certain event etiquette.
Before the event. Before the start of any event it is recommended that you get information on the type of event, the dress code (might be compulsory), duration and location of the event, access to the event, as sometimes you will need to show an invitation or respect certain staged directions.
Arrival at the event. The golden rule is punctuality! If you arrive too early you run the risk of finding an empty or even closed location, if you arrive too late, you risk losing the opening moment and being impolite in regards to the host. Respect the announced time and the well-known “academic quarter”.
At the event. First of all greet the host and those you already know. Firmly shake hands with those you meet and greet, smile discreetly and look people in the eyes. When introducing new people to a group, the rule requires those in a lower rank to be presented to those of a higher rank. Be attentive and follow the Host`s or Master of Ceremonies` suggestions. Socialise by choosing topics appropriate to the moment, listen to what others have to say, do not interrupt and be cordial.
The fun casino area or other entertainment area. Often, the master of ceremonies or the coordinator will make the appropriate announcements for the start of the games. Listen carefully to their directions and follow them into the designated area. A fun-croupier who will explain the rules of the game leads every fun table and will teach you the signs that will help communicating during the game. Stay open and interact with the other participants at the games. The atmosphere becomes more pleasant when everybody feels good. If you feel there is something you did not understand, go ahead and ask the game coordinator or the coordinator of the fun casino area for clarifications. Congratulate the participants who had a winning streak or a winning strategy. Smile and stay relaxed!
The dancing floor. The dancing floor is a more intimate area, but do not forget (!) everybody needs to have their personal space in order to avoid unpleasant collisions. If dancing in a group, make room for those who show the intention of joining the floor. Look around and make sure not to disturb others with gestures that might be too wide or sudden. Stay natural and the rest will follow!
The bar/buffet area. If such an area is designated, please remember you are not alone at the event. Do not block or monopolise the access to a certain dish. Take just as much as you need for the moment. Should you want more, you can return and have an extra portion. It is recommended that you pass by the bar and get your drink. Same as in the food area, there is no need to monopolise the counter; other guests will also want access to the bar.
Leaving the event. It is advisable to pay attention and leave the event during the same time with most of the participants, especially if an estimated time was set for the end of the party. Greet the host and the organisers and thank them for the invitation. Provide feedback. It will be highly appreciated!
