Not only are they embarrassing but I don’t even believe they’re true.
A woman companion of mine was invited to a longtime friend’s home and asked me to accompany her.
The invitation was for “dessert only.” Many of the other guests had also been invited for dinner a couple of hours earlier.What are the points of etiquette in all of this? I seek your response as a point of information and with no ill feelings — I later married the hostess.While the depth of your forgiveness is remarkable, Miss Manners is afraid that your wife and former hostess did, in fact, breach etiquette. You may invite people for dinner and you may invite people for dessert, but you may not do so for different people within the same evening. It makes it all too clear which of the guests is preferred.
Except, of course, in your case. So clearly your wife has learned her lesson — and you have finally gotten to taste the dinner crepes.A friend I have known for half a century is dreading her upcoming 70th birthday. For the record, she also moaned about her 50th and 60th birthdays. I happen to think milestone birthdays are worthy of celebration. I recently sent an email letting her know a gift and card, both thoughtfully selected by me, would be arriving shortly.I had also planned to order flowers for her, but I am now rethinking this given her passive-aggressive response to my earlier message. Am I being churlish?Perhaps. But your friend is not being passive-aggressive.
