Some British and American people like to invite friends for a meal at home. You should not be upset if your English friends don't invite you home. It doesn't mean they don't like you!

Dinner parties usually start between 7p.m.and 8p.m., and end at about 11p.m. Ask your host what time you should arrive. It's polite to bring flowers, chocolates or a bottle of wine as a gift.

Usually the evening starts with drinks and snacks. Do you want to be more polite? Say how much you like the room, or the pictures on the wall. But remember - it's not polite to ask how much things cost.
