Embassy Reception Etiquette?

[wwindyandwwild2333]

Hi,

I've been invited to a reception at the Ambassador of Japan in Oslo to celebrate the Emperor's birthday, and I was wondering if anyone has any experience at all with this kind of thing and can give me a few tips?

Things I'm mainly worried about are what to wear, what to say, and how to behave generally. Are there any good (formal) phrases I should use?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Wow, that sounds lovely!!
Well, I don't really think you need to worry too much. If you'd like to say, for example, "Thank you for invitation",
"go-shoutai arigatou gozaimasu" or "omaneki kudasari arigatou gozaimasu".
If you chose formal wearings which is suitable to visit someone like ambassador, it should be fine
