DEAR MISS MANNERS: My youngest son is getting married this summer season. His wife-to-be has a big prolonged household.

I’ve obtained an invite to a dinner/bathe which, throughout the highest in massive letters, states: “Couples only.”

I’m not in a pair, and haven’t been for a while. I’m not courting anybody, and my ex-husband is lifeless, so I can’t ask him. I’m not positive what the proper means is to RSVP.

I feel this may be the primary of comparable invitations that can come this fashion.

GENTLE READER: The wording is unlucky, however Miss Manners is guessing that it’s not meant to say that you would be able to’t come to dinner except you might be married. Somewhat, it’s most likely to counsel that single folks shouldn’t deliver what’s (additionally sadly) generally known as a plus-one.

A minimum of, allow us to hope so. Test along with your son. In the event that they actually imply that they’re operating a Noah’s Ark operation, he may need to rethink hopping aboard.

DEAR MISS MANNERS: We’ve been invited to a mixture graduate/Father’s Day gathering at an in-law’s home.

The hosts instructed it with a view to honor all of the fathers within the household, in addition to the three graduates: my husband from grad faculty, our son from highschool and the hosts’ daughter from highschool. Our in-laws have supplied to offer all of the meals and drinks.

Our son has a studying dysfunction and labored very onerous, together with taking summer season faculty and repeating some lessons, with a view to cross our state’s highschool exit examination and graduate. His accomplishments are extra private than his cousin’s, that are public.

My brother-in-law has “invited” us to place a video collectively for our son and produce it to share. We don’t know the way, and it’s awfully brief discover for us, who’re technologically challenged. (BIL works within the pc business.)

What are our well mannered choices? Is there a form method to keep away from watching the cousin’s video, or should friends indulge their host’s each whim? Additionally, how can we shield our youngsters from what’s sure to encourage uneven comparisons on this aggressive household? Ought to we even fear about that?

GENTLE READER: Miss Manners doesn’t essentially consider that household competitions ought to be inspired. However right here is the right way to win this one:

Don’t make a movie. After sitting via the celebration of the hosts’ daughter, the remainder of the household can be solely too grateful to not have to observe one other.

Simply get up and say, “Congratulations, Olivia! That’s wonderful. We’re equally proud of Liam’s achievements, but we’re not filmmakers, so I’m afraid you’ll just have to take our word for it.”

You — and Liam — will most likely get an ovation.

DEAR MISS MANNERS: Can/ought to one want a Roman Catholic priest a cheerful Father’s Day?

GENTLE READER: In case you are positive that he has a humorousness.
