Dear Queenie,
I keep getting invitations to events of people I do not know – distant relatives of people I only know casually. And it’s not as if I enjoy events where I don’t know most of the people there. It feels like they only invite me because they want the person to get as many gifts as possible.
Queenie, how do I get off these mailing lists?—Not interested
Dear Not interested,
Do not attend. When you get such an invitation, RSVP that you will not be attending, and do not feel obliged to send a gift if you do not go to the event. If you feel you must send something, a card will do – with no enclosure.
