- Invitations?
Dear Mrs Figgins:
What’s wrong with this picture? My husbands co-worker, whom he also plays basketball with on Thursday nights, invited “him” to his wedding in Canada. We live in Montana for crying out loud!
My husband says he doesn’t want to go. Yet I’m thinking if this is about a gift or something else?
I think it at the least it’s darn rude!

Dear Not Sure:
One thing is certain, proper etiquette was not observed.
Your husband told you about the invitation, and he also said he doesn’t want to go. Absent any reason to think otherwise, you need to accept what he says as truth.
Send a gracious note with regrets from “ Mr. & Mrs ____”.
Because they work together – and if it makes you and your husband feel better – upon the bride and groom’s return, give them a little gift. The enclosure card should be signed “Mr. & Mrs ____”. That said, a gift is not necessary.
