Barney's Best Manners: Your Invitation to Fun! (also known as Marvellous Manners in the United Kingdom and Australia) is a Barney Home Video that was released on August 26, 2003.

Plot[]

When a surprise package arrives from Miss Vera Goode with her new "Vera Goode's Book of Manners for Children", Barney’s friends question why minding their manners is so important. Barney explains that his friends have the perfect opportunity to be on their best behavior because they’re invited to a party! Then their polite purple pal helps his friends brush up on the rules of etiquette by bringing Mother Goose rhymes to life and taking the children on a magical trip to Alice In Wonderland’s "Mad Tea Party." Whether it’s sneezing, sharing, cleaning up or using good table manners, Barney helps them discover that using their best manners is fun!
