Dinner in Latvia 😊

In my opinion, going to dinner in Latvia is such a simple thing. You should just be polite!

Firstly, you should take something with you because coming without anything is impolite. So if you want to take food you can bring some chocolate, ice-cream, handmade cakes or shop bought cake, cookies or some refreshments. But if you want to take flowers than you should take an odd number of flowers because in Latvia we bring an even number of flowers to funerals for dead people.

Secondly, you must wait until the host or a hostess says you can start eating. Then after dinner you should stay and talk for a little bit and it’s okay leave like 20 minutes after dinner especially if it’s weekday not Friday or the weekend because the next day you have to go to work or take the children to school.

And finally when you’re leaving you must say thank you to the host and the hostess for having you😊!
