And make sure you wait for the most senior male to take his DJ off before you take yours off.

And remember to put your hand up if you want to speak. Also, make sure you ask permission before going to the bathroom

And what ever you do, dont wear a white jacket as this is for tropical/hot summer events.

No, they're for <flower>kers.

I've never worn one with my DJ but that's because I don't have one.

As long as it's a quality one, yes. No point if it's just a cheapie one - a nice black silk one will always work with a DJ.

If you are wearing a different coloured tie (e.g. a family tartan), then you should get a cummerbund to match.
