1. The mistake: Skipping an introduction. 2. The mistake: 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. 3. The mistake: Arriving at a party with a present in hand, even though the invitation says "no gifts, please." 4. The mistake: Asking someone you barely know the ethnic origin of her name. 5. The mistake: Asking the host of the party for a tour of her house. 6. The mistake: 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." 7. The mistake: Asking people to come to a restaurant to celebrate your husband's birthday - but then expecting them to pay their own way. 8. The mistake: Using a speakerphone without asking the person on the other end first. 9. The mistake: Making comments about children - "How old is he?" or "Isn't she thin?" - in their presence 10. The mistake: Allowing yourself a year after the wedding to come through with a present. |
