Dear Queenie,
My daughter-in-law invited me to a birthday party for my grandson and asked me to bring a casserole. I thought it was up to the hostess to provide the food.
Queenie, have the rules of etiquette changed?—Invitation Etty Ket
Dear Etty Ket,
There is always such a thing as a “potluck dinner”, but cake and ice cream should be sufficient for a birthday party. However, these days your daughter-in-law may be having trouble getting to the grocery store.
