Being Seated
I know that when you attend dinners, you should always arrive and sit at chair where the hostess has placed a place card with your name, and that your date should always be on your immediate left. What is the proper thing to do if the hostess has left place cards, but your date is not on your immediate left? Of course, referring to myself as the lady, and my date as my male accompiant.
NOTE:
I am asking this question for my older sister who recently attended a dinner party where this situation occurred. She simply sat where her place card was, and same for her date. Was that the proper thing to do?

Maybe give some free advice about: Etiquette?
The proper thing to do is to sit where the hostess seats you. The hostess seats people as to what she thinks is the best arrangement for her dinner.
Not everyone goes by traditional seating arrangements, and to change it up to what you think is best would most likely be taken as you being rude, even though that isn't your intention.
Just go with the flow.

i would say that your sister did the right thing. it's better to just go along with it than to correct your hostess :)
