The article addresses the dilemma of whether to invite a couple who consistently declines invitations to a gathering. While the hosts have included this couple for years, their non-responsiveness prompted the decision to exclude them from a recent party. Miss Manners advises that their pattern of ignoring invitations justifies this choice. Additionally, she cautions against the assumption that such non-attendees will decline invites, reinforcing that hosts can prioritize guests who consistently engage and RSVP positively.
Miss Manners asserts that repeatedly not responding to invitations warrants the decision to not invite someone again, thus protecting hosts' time and resources.
When contemplating inviting someone who usually declines, it is wise to remember that their absence from previous events justifies their omission from future invites.
