Like anyone, you want to make a stellar first impression. And that starts even before the actual meeting.

Stop wracking your brain—this etiquette expert has provided the perfect answer: here’s the ideal time to propose for a dinner among civilized individuals.
The Secrets of Proper Etiquette
Etiquette and proper manners are second nature to her. Before becoming a consultant for hospitality leaders, Florence Cane was the right-hand woman to Yannick Alléno, president of Yam magazine and creator of the lifestyle site Mileouin. With this background, she has authored a book dedicated to the subject: The Magic of Politeness: How Good Manners Bring Happiness, published by Hachette Pratique. In her book, she emphasizes the importance of inviting guests at the right time. For dinner, she specifically recommends one time: “Neither too early—you might still be preparing—nor too late, 8 PM works best for me,” she writes. “It allows time to chat and sit down to dinner at 9 PM, once everyone has arrived and the appetizers have been enjoyed.” Whether you’re inviting friends, in-laws, colleagues, or even clients in a more professional setting, this is the time to remember. Not too early, not too late—it’s the perfect compromise!
Creating a Comfortable Dining Experience
By choosing the right timing, you provide your guests with a pleasant and relaxed experience, free from rush or boredom. Whether it’s for colleagues, friends, or more formal guests, you’re ready to organize a dinner where everyone will feel comfortable.
