Accepting (or Declining) Social Inviations
Accept? Decline?
Accepting (or Declining) Social Invitations:
- Be timely when responding to an invitation. A good rule is to respond within 4-5 days.
- Dress according to the dress suggestions on the invitation. If you’re not certain, don’t be shy to ask.
- Be punctual. Any more than 15 minutes is considered rude. Don’t show up before the requested time of arrival.
- If the invitation does not specify that you may bring a guest, always check with you’re your host first.
- It is most gracious to take along a hostess gift. Chocolates, Wine or Champagne is most appropriate and appreciated. For extra special occasions a personalized gift is a sure hit and will always be remembered. See Mrs. Figgins list of favorite finds!
