[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reason some people are confused is because they are missing a simple point of etiquette— you should always hold yourself to a higher standard than others. I’m serious. Example: I would consider it rude for me to show up empty handed at a party that didn’t mention gifts on the invite. Conversely, I’ve had people show up with no gift to my kid’s party that didn’t specify no gifts, and it was totally fine; I didn’t find it rude. Same with sending & receiving thank you notes, etc. [/quote] Exactly! The “double standard” should ALWAYS involve having a higher standard for yourself. Put others first. Bring the gift, but it’s fine if others don’t bring you a gift. And that is just one example. This is how I was raised (through example). [/quote]
