Answer by  sinemasiren (95)

Important table manners include such actions as not laying your arms on the table. Do not slurp your soup. If you must tilt your soup bowl, tilt it away from you. Be sure to start with the silverwear on the outside of the plate and work your way in. Do not chew with your mouth open.

Perhaps the most important beyond general civility is to wait for the host or hostess to begin before you start to eat. Even if others begin, you should wait, unless instructed by the host or hostess to begin.
