Writing, the right to social objectives is not on the "etiquette" any more, because as everyone else social letters has become much more casual and informal in recent years. However, this can be challenging – especially in difficult times, like when someone you know died-so here's some handy tips to help you perfectly cope with any social situation demands ...
1. personal letters and cards.Handwritten letters and cards may seem a bit old-fashioned, now that we primarily communicate over the Internet, but – possibly because the messages and cards now further appeal that people really appreciate. Whether it's to say thanks (see below), happy birthday or any other reason not stop sending good old letters and cards in General ... use them when you want to make the recipient feel extra special.
2. Emails.Made from letters and telephone calls, too, and in my opinion, are preferable in many ways – you don't need to get out of the shower to answer emails! However, there are numerous issues with mail that you need to know. The most important of these are … do not type in all capital letters, because it is considered "shouting ... do not reply in anger or if you're drunk ... do it in the subject line and in other countries what you wrote… Don't forward chain letters, spam, risque jokes ... and not ever answer spam — even tell them to stop mailing you – because in fact that tells them that they have a live connection, and they will bombard you.
3. thank you notes.Whether you write them by hand and send them or do it via email to say thanks to someone who has helped you or give you something should never be overlooked, is probably the most important part of being brought up. I know it can get quite tricky, if you need to write a 200-digit or a letter thanking for wedding presents, but it is important, for example, if you do not wish to cause offence. And always try to include personal observations of a gift or service to show how much you really appreciate it.
4. what to write, when someone goes.You don't need to write long letters or e-mail (but preferably not email in these circumstances), really dead person is probably not to read too much in one sitting. But once you mention how sad you have to hear the news, try to focus on the positive side, which can help you feel a little stronger ... as late as lucky to have such a loving families are lucky that he did not suffer from a long illness, he will always go through life through their loved ones. I can tell you from personal experience, it helps a lot.
5. Congratulations.We should all celebrate our little victories in life, whether he gets involved passing a test, get a new job or even get pregnant! Card or email to a friend, which is something to celebrate will help extend their appreciation for their achievements, and it shows them that you really care.
6. Invitations.Invitations come in hundreds of different formats from mentioning, an official at the water cooler "stiffie" card (as they are called in the UK) with all the fancy type and Golden edging. Language for official invitations is fairly standard and can be supplied by whom they were printing. But you'd be surprised how often an invitation since some essential element of the forgotten. Remember, always include a date … … time (start and finish), address, post/mail/postal code ... phone numbers ... venue website if ... that includes (cocktails, dinner, dancing, etc) … dress code ... menu choice if ... and the full name and address of the person to RSVP.
7. travel destinations.It's not so much a problem these days, now that most people have satellite navigation systems, but often rather let someone fumble around with satnav (especially in remote rural areas), it is safer to write directions to follow it. When you do, never forget for a moment that, as you know both in the back of your hand, this person does not. Make lines very clearly, for example "go north 4 miles on the A22, exit at junction 5, then turn left/West 6 miles to B444 for traffic lights," not "go up and then the A22 to Blanktown Othertown turnoff and follow the signs to the village of small until you will see some traffic lights, dog biscuit & Pub.
8. Shopping Lists (Yes, really!)I once write a whole article on shopping lists and people thought I was nuts, until they read it. If you know the location of your local shop or supermarket, make sure that you write in your grocery shopping list in the same order. It sounds silly, but I promise you, I save hours of my time each year to do so, instead of going around accidentally written list.
9. Instant Messaging and text/SMS.We all know and love to hate absurd reduce overall as "C U l8er" and "B4 2moro" – but they are now part of our lives, and we need! When you write for this very tiny secondary simply try to ensure you don't overdo it, reducing to a point where not one, but it is understood. With instant messaging, also, try not to be lazy and use abbreviations when you have a full size keyboard SQWERTY at your disposal-you can say pretty much even in 140 characters, Twitter, etc!
10. "Just stand up and say a few words.Sometimes in social communications, you may be asked to say something to the Group on the spur of the moment ... as after dinner to celebrate something or someone's birthday. Many people freeze if it happens, but you don't need to worry about it. Just take a few minutes to jot down some ideas, such as why you're here, you have to share today with (CTO), how do you hope that everyone has a great time as you and Let's raise a glass to toast (CTO). Usually all that is expected from you, so just relax and enjoy it!
