Mexican Etiquette

I have decided to use this post to go over Mexican etiquette because Mexican culture was way different than American culture, both in the past and in the present.

1. Only men give the toasts.

2. Do not begin eating until the hostess starts.

3. It's considered polite to leave some food on your plate after a meal.

4. Never use a Mexican's first name unless they let you.

5. Gifts are opened immediately.

6. No matter what the gift is, act enthusiastic.

7. At a large party like a banquet, you are allowed to introduce yourself.

8. Arriving on time or early is considered inappropriate.

9. Always keep hands visible when eating.

10. White flowers are considered a fine gift in Mexico because they are considered uplifting.
