Etiquette question for my Bitches.
I've been invited to dinner with a good friend tonight. I asked if I could bring anything, and she said she has it covered. I feel guilty not bringing anything, 'cause, well, I'm like that.
So, should I bring a bottle of wine, or should I just bring myself?
If she said not to bring anything, and she's a good friend, then don't.
Bringing a bottle of wine would be a nice gesture.
Though not really necessary for a good friend.
I agree with ita, vw. I understand how you feel, but you're really fine.
BTW, I just caught up and saw that you'd been having a really difficult couple of days. I'm so sorry I haven't been around to help you.

Thanks. It's totally cool. You've had your share of rough days yourself!
It would vary on how good a friend. I might bring a wee bouquet of flowers or a bottle of wine or some other tiny hostess gift for a good but not superclose friend. For a really good friend who said no worries, just bring you.
If she said bring nothing, then you are totally within etiquette just showing up. And when I say bring nothing, I mean it.
My default is a bottle of Processo or something sparkly with a pretty ribbon - it's usually just something nice for them to have later, not for dinner itself. Well, it's my default when I remember to have one about. And when I have ribbon.
How'd ya guess, Hil?
And a Bitty Baby, at that!!
Ok! I'm off! Thanks, guys!
The office I'm organizing keeps getting catalogues for this company, which creeps me all the way out with their 'most like me' dolls. You can custom order a copy of your kid...and then dress them alike.
I'm not sure why, but that just seems all manner of weird.
