Interesting point about the nametags. When I go to dance classes, I see a lot of people wearing their nametags on their left side. I used to wear my nametag on the right side because I'm left-handed, and I thought that I should wear my nametag on the opposite side from my dominant hand. However, it kept getting knocked off the right side because I have to use my right arm more than my left while dancing. Now I wear my nametag on the left side. I don't remember where I wear my nametag at normal social events.
The information about the bread plate and the drink will be useful.
I love the b d thing for bread and drink. It has saved me so many times!
And thanks for supporting/reinforcing my nametag preference! I heard that it works well for the natural progression of the eyes from a handshake (from your hands up your arm and then, voila, to your name!)
Thanks for the tips!
@Eileen - It's good being left-handed! Thanks for sharing.
@Beth Harris - LOVE the b d thing. I'm so with you.
@Irina I - Any time!
I always put my name tag on my left side so that when I shake hands with someone they can still see it. So it's the same logic you give but the opposite side of the body. Think about extending your right arm out and halfway across your body. You'd obscure a name tag on the right side.
Interesting to see how the theory of how text should be laid out on a page also works for the name tag. In marketing there's this theory that the most important information should be placed on the upper right-hand corner of a sheet (or website) because studies show that's where most people's eyes land on a page. Then most average readers' eyes tend to go down to the opposite corner (the lower left-hand) and finally exit on the lower right hand side. So based on that, what you say makes sense because the upper left hand corner would actually be the last place people look, if they look there at all. Oops, I've had it wrong for all these years...fortunately I've been drinking out of the right glass.
Stop using your companies pre-printed thank you notes. Hand write a thank you note! Hand writing is much more personal and it shows you care. More...
