Dear Amy: I would never do such a thing without at least talking to the person first. Going forward before booking, I am supposed to ask, 'Who else is going to be there?”
Like a lot of people these days, my adult children and many of my friends are spread out all over the country. I try to stay in touch with them by making short trips to visit them.
I appreciate the desire to be one big happy group, but I would like to just have some alone time with them. It would be great if they would have enough consideration to at least ask if I would mind. When it comes to your visits with your children, they might believe that you would welcome having mini-reunions with other family members or local friends when you’re visiting their homes. This instinct is generous and inclusive.If you want more alone-time with them and their immediate families during your visits, you should absolutely let them know.Given that wedding season is coming up, I thought I would offer a tip that might help wedding guests, as well as the marrying couple.
For those gifts that had no cards attached, we sent a generic card thanking the person for attending our joyous event and explained that many cards had become detached.AdvertisementWe ended up eventually matching all of the gifts to the guests who had given them, but it would have been so much easier if the cards had been placed inside the gift.
