“Something old. Something new.
Something borrowed. Something blue.
“

Let’s focus on the first part of the old adage for a moment. In the age of contemporary weddings and modern brides, sometimes incorporating something “old” just doesn’t seem to work. However, there are many great ways to bring luck and happiness to your union by fulfilling the “something old” tradition.

Many women look to mothers, aunts, grandmothers, and older family members when searching for something old. Many times these women have vintage jewelry, antique handkerchiefs and other family heirlooms. These are very appropriate and can be incorporated into a modern ceremony with ease.

You’re excited about this year’s holiday office party or maybe a little nervous. If this is your first Christmas party with your coworkers, chances are great that you want to make a favorable impression and not do something silly. If you’ve been to many office parties in your time, you probably are well aware of the things that can happen when ditzy meets clumsy. This year, avoid the snickers that last until St. Patrick’s Day by following a few simple office party guidelines:

While loosening up may be fun and promote more interaction among coworkers, appearing to have imbibed too much is not only very unprofessional and rude but also leaves an impression that stays with your coworkers long after the party. Set a professional but casual reputation for yourself by enjoying the party calmly.

Another great holiday party etiquette tip for your office is to be sure to Read the rest of Holiday Office Party Etiquette: Celebrations For All To Enjoy »
