dinner

it boils down to this..

Do you dine?

or

Do you sup?

Being from england we call it TEA

I'm flexible but to me dinner is a regular meal and supper is something lighter.

Either way don't call me late for it!

I call it food, speaking of which, I'm hungry....

My lady, girlfriend, partner

supper

Depends what it is and how I am expected to act.

Both are usually evening meals. On holidays or sabbath days it can sometimes be that dinner is served at noon or early afternoon. Ask your host or tell your invitee.

Supper is generally casual at home. A lighter meal it can be eaten at the table, buffet style, or in the family room or patio. Pets are usually excluded. Occassionally it is out and usually "fast" food either eaten there, in route, or at home, or with some other activity. Follow your hosts lead. As a guest it is still required to express appreciation verbally to your date, and or your host, or maybe casually by phone or email later. Good table manners and social graces are still necessary even in a casual setting. At a supper you might be invited to join in in preparation or clean up. To offer either is polite. An acceptance of a supper invitation does not generally require a RSVP but it definitely requires notification if you are to be late or are not going to attend. A late to a cancelation to a supper in home should be recognized with a small token of appreciation and a sincere apology to the host.

Dinner is more formal usually with the majority of the family and guests at the table. It can be intimate and often excludes children and pets. It is wise to inquire with your host.

A dinner date out is usually at a slightly better resturant to a sophisticated location. A dinner invitation generally suggests something more than casual clothes and if in a host's home a small gift of flowers or beverage and definitely a written thank you note after; not a text or email. If the invitation is written a RSVP is required. A late cancellation requires a written apology and generally flowers to the host.

Any invitation to supper or dinner it is important to arrive on time or only slightly early. It is important to not assume that it is an invitation to more than eat and not overstay. At the end of the meal and a reasonable amount of conversation time you should politely excuse yourself.

A supper or dinner may include the serving of alcohol. If you have a preference on the subject it should be discussed before accepting the invitation. If you are a minor it is just good manners to refuse politely.
