Advice from Judith Martin, Nicholas Ivor Martin and Jacobina Martin.
An acquaintance of mine has taken to writing poetry. It’s awful: full of unnecessarily obscure words, commonplace observations presented as profundities, tedious self-ruminations, etc.
: Must you rule out moving? It strikes Miss Manners as a reasonable response to living in fear of surprise attacks of amateur poetry. A few years ago -- after a 10-year courtship -- they got married at a private ceremony far from home. We had a local reception planned for a few weeks later and sent “save the date” cards to the whole family. Unfortunately, we had to cancel the reception due to the pandemic.
Am I just being petty or old-fashioned? I just got another baby shower invitation today, and here we go.Can you assure Miss Manners that this is about the cards themselves, and not about something that might have been slipped into a card? You moved very quickly to mentioning presents.
