4. To be dressed in one's best clothes (Doesn’t necessarily have to be new)
5. To be dressed modestly in an Islamic manner.
Note: Care should be taken that we do not incur debts or transgress the limits of modesty regarding the clothes we purchase and wear on Eid day as is seen in many Muslim communities of today. Many of our brothers are seen with unsuitable haircuts and inappropriate clothing and many of sisters are seen dressed provocatively attracting unwanted attention and the gaze of strange men upon them. What would happen if we were to die in such a state? Therefore we should adopt modesty in every aspect of our lives particularly the way in which we dress.
6. To use Attar (Perfume)
7. To perform the Eid prayer at the Eidgah (An open ground)
8. To avoid eating before Eid-ul-Adha prayer and to eat an odd number of dates or anything sweet before Eid ul Fitr prayer.
9. To go to the place of Eid prayer early
10. To walk to the place of Eid prayer (If it is within walking distance because every step is reward)
11. To read the “Takbeerat” on the way to Eid-ul-Adha prayer loudly and on the way to Eid-ul-Fitr prayer silently:
“Allaahu Akbar Allaahu Akbar Laa ilaaha illallaahu Wallaahu Akbar walillaahil hamd”
(Allah is the greatest; Allah is the greatest; there is no god but Allah; Allah is the greatest; Allah is the greatest; and to Allah belongs all praise.).
12. To use different routes to and from the place of Eid prayer
13. To frequently recite the takbeer's throughout (Loudly for Eid Ul Adha and softly for Eid ul Fitr)
14. To pray the Eid-Ul-Fitr prayer later and the Eid-ul-Adha earlier.
15. To pray the two rak’ahs Waajib Salaatul Eidain without any Adhaan (call to prayer) or Iqaamah
16. It is Mukruh (disliked) to pray Nafil (voluntary) prayers before or after the Eid prayer but Sunnah to pray two rak’ahs Nafil prayer upon reaching home.
17. To give the Sadaqatul fitr (Compulsory charity) before praying the Eid prayer.
18. The khutba (Arabic sermon) of both Eids are Sunnah but to listen to them is Wajib (Compulsory). It is totally prohibited (Haraam) to walk around, talk or even read Salaah whilst the khutba is in progress.
19. To shake hands and hug one another on happy occasions like Eid is Mubaah (permissible). The general principle of a Mubaah act is not to regard the act as compulsory so one should not regard the meeting on the day of Eid as compulsory and an inseparable part of the occasion.
20. To greet one another with the following greeting:
Jabyr ibn Nufayr (Ra) said: 'When the companions of Allah's Messenger (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) met on the day of Eid, they would say to each other:
'Taqabal-Allahu minna wa mink
(May Allah accept from us and you)." [Al Mahamiliyyat; hasan isnad; see Fath ul Bari 2:446]

Taqabal Allahu Minna wa Minkum. Alhamdolillah we have just finished fasting in the beautiful month of Ramadhan and now Shawal is upon us.
The month passed by so quickly, as it always does. May Allah accept all your deeds and actions in the month. I pray that you will keep as many of your new habits up for the rest of the year inshaAllah.*May Allah bless your Eid.
I hope you have a ton of halal fun and enjoy the day of Eid as much as you can. Please continue to make dua for your fellow Muslims all over the world.
Remember the following for today:
*1. Engage in the takbirat mentioned in the OP (saying “Allahu akbar”) from fajr until the imam comes out for salah. Takbir is recommended for everyone- male, female, young and old.
2. It is also important to pay zakat Al-Fitr before the salah.
3. Wear your best clothes that are reasonable and modest.
4. It is recommended to go to the place of prayer early.
5. And most importantly, to wish every one the joy of `Eid and show true signs of Islamic brotherhood and sisterhood by shaking hands and embracing and supplicating: “Taqabal Allahu Minna wa Minkum” (May Allah accept it from us and you).
6. It is also considered a Islamic sunnah to visit one another and exchange gifts. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Exchange gifts in order to foster love."
7. Remember the true spirit of `Eid is reflected in our extreme generosity to the poor and the needy. So, be charitable as best as you can.
8. Make lots of istighfar (asking Allah for forgiveness) and pray that Allah accept our fast, prayers and devotion, and may He grant the Ummah glory and success.And most of all, have a great day inshaAllah :-)

But, what is this mean?. Isn't Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adha are in two different days?. Also every Salat-ul Eid, both Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adha always performed before khutbah.

Asalaamu Alaikum and Taqabal-Allahu Mina Waminkum. I hope you and your family had a most blessed Eid.
What is meant by this is to go for the earlier jamaat (congregation) for Eid Ul Adha and the later Jamat for Eid Ul Fitr if there are more than one jamaats for the Eid Salaah in ones place of prayer which is usually the case in many places.

Waalaikumsalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. Ameen
Oh. I understand what you mean. I live in Muslim majority country where Salat-ul Eid held in everywhere and there's always space for accomodate all jamaats at once.
Jazak Allah Khayr, brother. May Allah bless you with more knowledge.
