A mom worries about her daughter because the teen isn’t very social.
I have casual friends who offered their property to host my daughter’s wedding. They have an expansive, beautiful property. We hesitantly but politely declined, as it would be too risky to plan the wedding without a tent, and a tent could not fit into the space.
However, I then asked whether they would be willing to allow us to have the shower at their property, and again they generously offered us exclusive use — free. I am beyond blessed by this, and I am so excited to have my daughter’s bridal shower there. My question is this: Should this couple be invited to the wedding as a way to thank them for their generosity? We have been trying very hard to cut down the guest list, which is already over our limit. They are just not close friends, and they don’t know our daughter and her fiancé.
You should send them a note , in addition to a gift — perhaps a fruit tree they could plant, or a gift certificate to their local lawn and garden center.The writer wanted to know what kind of gift to bring to each neighbor as they introduced themselves, and your advice creates suspicion and doubt where there is none. The best way to create a community is to be open and friendly, which is exactly what “New” was trying to do.
