Etiquette Question

I have just been invited to a "stock the bar" party for a gal at work.  The host is my supervisor, and it's a co-ed party after work hours at the host's house.  The gal is getting married early next month (I think), so I don't think I'm invited to the wedding.

I'm unable to attend the party (and will RSVP appropriately), but I'm not sure what to do about a gift.  Should I track down their registry and send something bar-themed?  Have a gift delivered to the party?  Bring my gift to the office, and have my supervisor take it home for the gal to open at the party?  (Not a big fan of that last one.) 

The party itself seems to be pretty informal, if that helps with your advice. Smile

Re: Etiquette Question

  • does twin liquors (or the store of your choice) do gift cards?  you could get a card and put the gift card inside, then have your supervisor take it.  that way you're not handing him/her a bottle of jack at work.  =)

  • It doesn't sound to me like you are under any obligation to give a gift, but if you feel like it, you could bring a bottle of wine with a note saying that you are sorry you can't make it and give it to her at work. I would not worry about having a gift sent to the actual party.

    ETA: yeah, put it in a wine bag or something so you don't look like a drunko.

    this.

  • wine is the way to go, IMHO!  you can easily get a bottle for $10 (or less Embarrassed) so it hopefully won't break the bank.

    and you'll get some brownie points at the same time. YesYes
