Should I have brought my wife to an embassy event? Miss Manners weighs in


A recent etiquette question asked Miss Manners for advice regarding bringing a spouse to an embassy event. The reader, invited to an embassy event celebrating a royal birthday, brought his wife as his “plus one.” The head of social events at the embassy was annoyed, stating that it was a work event and spouses should not attend. Miss Manners explained that while embassy parties are business-related, they are often disguised as social events for strategic purposes. Therefore, inviting spouses is not usually permitted. It was recommended that the reader should have followed the invitation guidelines and attended solo.

In a separate question, a reader sought advice on how to handle a family friend consistently making negative comments about unpleasant smells. Miss Manners suggested responding by asking the friend to identify the source of the smell and attempt to resolve the situation together. If the friend cannot provide answers, it was recommended to inquire if the smell could be coming from the friend themselves.

Miss Manners can be contacted through various means for advice on etiquette queries.
