Miss Manners: We host parties but never get invited
A reader says they host gatherings but rarely receive invitations and is troubled by others mentioning third-party finances in etiquette questions.
DEAR MISS MANNERS: When I read some of the questions sent to you, it is jarring when the writer includes financial information about someone else. They write things such as “... and they can well afford it” or mention that so-and-so “could very well pay their own way.”
