Etiquette Mistakes : Rules for Etiquette

  Almost all of us have been in situations where we have made a mistake and not realized. Funny but true !!!
So here are those 10 Etiquette Mistakes You Didn't Know You Were Making ....

Mistake 1#

Skipping an introduction. You don't introduce your friend Lea to acquaintance Ben because you've forgotten Ben's name.


Mistake 2#

Being a vague guest. For example, you're invited to a party but never respond. Or, you're going for an overnight visit but fail to tell your hosts when you'll arrive and leave.


Mistake 3#

Arriving at a party with a present in hand, even though the invitation says "no gifts, please." 


Mistake 4#

Asking someone you barely know the ethnic origin of her name.


Mistake 5#

Asking the host of the party for a tour of her house.


Mistake 6#

Responding to a dinner invitation with "We'd love to come! Just so you know, I'm on a low-carb diet, and Sam's a vegetarian."


Mistake 7#

Asking people to come to a restaurant to celebrate your husband's birthday — but then expecting them to pay their own way.


Mistake 8#

Using a speakerphone without asking the person on the other end first.


Mistake 9#

Making comments about children — "How old is he?" or "Isn't she thin?" — in their presence.


Mistake 10#

Allowing yourself a year after the wedding to come through with a present.
