"Fancy" dinners originally came about because we saw the need to work on table manners with our girls. :) So we decided to encourage good table manners by offering the reward of a "fancy dinner" where they could eat fancy food, wear fancy clothes, and behave in a way that is "fancy." At fancy dinner time, we also talk about using silverware, chewing with our mouths closed, how to use napkins, how to talk to a waiter, how to talk/behave in restaurants (not loudly:)), etc. The girls get to put together outfits that they choose for themselves. They have really enjoyed it, and I hope they have learned a few table manners in the process.
