Miss Manners: Hostess demanded thank-you note within 48 hours
A guest says the hostess texted less than 48 hours after a gathering to question why no thank-you note had been sent and urged guests to be gracious.
DEAR MISS MANNERS: Less than 48 hours after my husband and I attended a gathering at the home of a couple from our walking group, I received a text from the hostess that read, “I hope you enjoyed the party. Should I assume it was an oversight on your part not to send a thank-you note? We believe we were gracious hosts and would appreciate gracious guests.”
