Not bringing gifts to parties
Even if you don’t have a ton of disposable income, showing up empty-handed to an event is always an error in terms of etiquette.
“When you’re invited to an event or dinner party, it’s important to bring a gift as a token of appreciation to your host,” says Tsai.
However, that doesn’t mean you have to bring wine, especially in cases where doing so wouldn’t be appropriate – like to a child’s party or to a host in recovery, for instance. In those cases, Tsai says a scented candle is always a safe bet.
