Dear Queenie,
Friends of ours (adults) celebrate their birthdays with a party every year. We enjoy these events, but we wonder, are we expected to bring a gift or is a birthday card enough?—Adult birthday Etty Ket
Dear Etty Ket,
If the party is at a bar or a restaurant, buy the birthday boy/girl a drink. If the party is at their home bring a “hostess gift,” the same as you would do on a non-birthday occasion.
