About us
Join our Excuse Me, Etiquette Club where we focus on learning and practicing proper social etiquette for all occasions. Whether you're looking to refine your table manners, perfect your introduction skills, or master the art of polite conversation, our group is the place for you. We host monthly meetups at some of Jacksonville's nicest restaurants where we discuss and practice etiquette tips and tricks, share personal experiences, and ultimately strive to become the most well-mannered versions of ourselves. Join us in creating a more courteous and respectful community, one excuse me at a time.
***
Note: This is not a group of experts, but one where we practice elements of etiquette from credible resources. For the sake of harmony, we will be adhering to the etiquette guidelines from Myka Meier's book, "Modern Etiquette Made Easy," although open to the discussion of others. Meier's is a well-respected etiquette teacher and her book is available free via the digital library app, "Hoopla."

As a friendly reminder, we will be using Meier's book* as a baseline for etiquette in this group. It is not a requirement to read it in its entirety prior to attending events. However, I highly recommend reading chapter 1 (which is foundational), our current chapter (4), and chapter 8 (Intro to Dining). It is a great tool for learning and will aid in participation. Feel free to read any other chapters that pique your interest as well.
