Social Etiquette Tip of the Week - “To Clink or not Clink”

Posted on December 27, 2009 at 7:13pm 0 Comments 0 Likes

The holiday season is in full swing and we are closing in on New Year's. As you wait for the clock to strike midnight, a glass of bubbly in hand, do you wonder where the tradition of toasting and clinking glasses came from?

As with many of our food traditions, the clinking of glasses traces its root to the health and safety of the drinker. In this case, it goes back to the tendency of nobles to kill each other off by poisoning their food! One story about the clinking of glasses is… Continue

Social Etiquette Tip of the Week - “Shopping with Manners - Don’t be THAT Holiday Shopper”

Posted on December 19, 2009 at 8:30pm 2 Comments 0 Likes

I was shopping in a department store the other day and there were three people in the line. Only one register was open…I'm second of three. Behind me is a woman with an armload of items…I have one!

Another sales clerk arrives on the scene…opens a new register…and says the usual "may I help the next person in line." The woman in front of me, who technically was next in line, starts to move toward that register, but the one behind me, with the armload of stuff, makes it there… Continue

Social Etiquette Tip of the Week - “The Art of Regifting”

Posted on December 13, 2009 at 10:04pm 0 Comments 0 Likes

Regifting is a grand old holiday tradition that many practice and pretend they don't. Even Peggy Post, etiquette advice columnist, admits she's done it. So, if you are going to regift this year, here is how to do it right.

Do update the wrapping

There might be a personal message or gift card inside that would make your regift obvious. Besides, raggedy old wrappings are a sign the recipient is getting a regift.

Don't give partially used gift cards

Social Etiquette Tip of the Week - Surprise…I’m at Your Front Door!

Posted on December 3, 2009 at 7:45pm 0 Comments 0 Likes

This week’s social etiquette tip was inspired by good friends who were invited to a quiet Thanksgiving dinner at the home of a dear friend. During their meal the doorbell rang...at the door were several friends of the hostess who decided to just ‘drop in’ to say hello.

Was this ambush visit rude? Absolutely! Uninvited guests can often disrupt your planned evening whether it is a holiday celebration, dinner with friends that was booked long ago, or simply just some quiet time. ..or… Continue

Social Etiquette Tip of the Week - "Making Introductions with Ease"

Posted on November 26, 2009 at 11:43am 0 Comments 0 Likes

Sweaty palms, not remembering someone’s name, awkward silences...for many people, making an introduction can be one of the most uncomfortable aspects of etiquette.

When you are in an uncomfortable situation, and you lose your self-confidence, it’s reflected in your posture, facial expressions, and demeanor. To avoid feeling socially awkward, and to present a poised and polished image when making introductions, all you need to remember is precedence…the order in which people are… Continue
