Court Rules
Have a little fun by read-inga list of courtly dinner
rules to all attendees:
• No one is allowed to sit
if the King is standing.
• All must wait to eat
until the King takes his
first bite.
• The King is allowed to
lick his fingers.
• If the King drops
his napkin, he gets
a clean one.
• The King gets the first
choice of seconds.
• The King is offered the
first piece of dessert.
• After gifts, all must rise
and bow until the King
leaves the room. (No
dishes for Dad tonight.)
Entertainment
• Unbeknownst to the
King, pre-select one of
his favorite words such
as “good” or “wow.”
Whenever he says that
word, everyone must
stand up.
• The King requests that
each guest do one thing
for his royal pleasure
while he’s eating, such
as sing a song, create
a poem or tell a story.
