Thank you for the question. Afternoon tea etiquette calls for removing your gloves before you eat or drink, regardless of the style of glove. Fingerless gloves could still easily become soiled while eating finger foods. You may tuck them under a napkin, in your lap, or place them in your handbag. We hope you have a wonderful time at your first tea, and remember, the entire point of etiquette is to be gracious, to others and yourself. Anyone who judges or corrects you is in breach of common courtesy themselves.

I am going to a multicultural tea being sponsored by the mayor of my community. I have my dress picked out and a fascinator. I saw a cute pair of fingerless lace gloves. I was wondering if it is proper to eat with gloves at a tea, fingerless or not. This is my first tea and I don’t want to embarrass myself. Thanks for your response.

Louise, have a great time! Generally the people we meet at afternoon tea are very welcoming and gracious. Several times, we have been sat at large tables with new friends to meet. You will surely be fabulous in your tea hat. If you take pictures, please share with us! So glad you are enjoying Destination Tea.
