precious99 Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 Quick question - I have been invited to have dinner with my BF's brother and his wife (as well as their 3 small children) - all of whom I have never met before. His parents will also be there but I have met them on numerous occasions already. So my question is purly one of ettiquette - do I bring something? Also, the reason for the dinner is it's my BF's dad's birthday - I got him a card but do I need a gift as well? Any thoughts are appreciated.

My suggestion would be to bring something...........can never hurt. Try to find out what his father likes (dessert or drink for example), and bring that-doesn't have to be expensive.........and probably better if it isn't expensive . More just a thoughtful gesture on your part.
amaysngrace Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 I would get a bottle of wine for the brother, a card for the dad, and three small gifts for the children.
saracengage Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 I guess confectionary would do best.a greeting card will do fine. Since, your BF's brother has kids and i believe his kids loves sweet tooth or anything suitable for the stomach (just kidding:):)). Anyhow, you could start by bringing in something fit for dessert after the dinner affair you guys have. just a thought though. thanks
