I always serve them meat when they’re my guests. And they served me … meat.
Miss Manners suggests that next time, you could politely say in advance, “Oh, I can’t remember if I told you, but I’m afraid I don’t eat meat of any kind. I am happy to bring something, however, if it’s hard to separate it for your other guests.” And if she once again serves you bacon salad, you will know that the ruse is up.I was always under the belief that your first baby shower should also be your only one. But I have now been invited to a third baby shower for my niece.
I could understand if there was some space between the kids, since new equipment would be needed, or if this third baby were a different gender. But they are all boys, and her oldest is just 2.What do you think? Should I buy another gift and go to the shower? Or is it OK to send my regards, knowing I will still show up with a gift when the baby is born?gift grabs. That is their sole purpose. But Miss Manners agrees that second and third ones are excessive.
Unfortunately, if you do go, a present is expected. If you do not want to be pressured into shopping from a registry, witnessing endless present-opening and playing unseemly party games, then showing up with a gift after the baby arrives is fine.
