Greeting Card Etiquette 101
Christmas is around the corner...
It's that time of year for exchanging holiday greeting cards. Your cards can be sent anytime after Thanksgiving and should only be sent to family or friends who are not receiving a gift from you.
Savoy The Socialite wanted to share a few etiquette tips when sending greeting cards:
Tip 1: Unmarried girls are called "Miss" until age 21.
Tip 2: Use Ms. Tiffany Simmons if divorced or married.
Tip 3: Use Ms. Kimberly Nelson, if married and keeping maiden name, or
divorced and keeping maiden name; a divorced lady never uses "Miss."
Tip 4: Use Mrs. John Davis, if married and going by husband's name,
or widowed with children.
or widowed with children.
Tip 5: Use Mrs. Kelley Parker, only if divorced.
Tip 6: Use Miss Veronica Richards, if never married.
Another old Southern tradition is to keep the man's first and last name together; i.e., address/refer to us as Gwen and Derek Harrington.
Holiday cards are a great way to stay in touch with those we haven't seen for a long time. Be sure to Make Your Cards Memorable. It's also important to consider the recipient when choosing your cards.
Send cards that are a reflection of your lifestyle and what you want people to feel this holiday. To all my single Gals...send holiday cards to your friends, family, co-workers, and prospective dates with a twist.
