Use お辞儀 naturally for a bow that accompanies a greeting, thanks, or apology, choose between お辞儀する and お辞儀をする, and distinguish a light 会釈 from a nod of agreement.
Use お参り naturally for a visit to pray or pay respects, choose between お参りに行く, お参りする, and 参る, and distinguish formal 参拝 and grave-specific お墓参り.
Use お願いします to hand over an understood choice or task, then choose a fuller request when the action or burden needs to be made clear.
