“First worst faux pas is crashing. Second is not RSVPing.” — Susanna Quinn, writer, and wife of Quinn Gillespie & Associates head Jack Quinn “The biggest faux pas about the holidays is a national one: wasting the holidays running around and spending a lot of time and unnecessary money on presents instead of spending time with friends and family. Most of us have little free time from work, especially in D.C., spend it wisely. Drink, anyone?” — Janet Donovan, publicist, Washington Life contributor and founder of the website Hollywood on the Potomac
“The worst holiday party faux pas? Regifting to your party host. Worst holiday party faux pas ever? Regifting and delivering it in an iconic robin’s egg blue Tiffany box. I went to return a hostess gift and was told by the manager that the item, was in fact, not from Tiffany’s. She handed me back the box with a sympathetic smile and said this happens all the time.” — Elizabeth Thorp, founder Poshbrood.com
