Last week there was a small get together of friends at my home. Nearly 5 families came and we had a great fun. They were all my husband's friends.After the party, everyone left and I became busy with other issues. Yesterday when I was talking with one of the friends, I was telling her that nobody spoke with me back again ater the party. Only then she said that I have to call back the friends and say that it was nice having them here at my home. She said that it is mandatory to thank the guests for their presence in the gettogether. Actually I did not have a thought to thank them as it was not my family function. It was just a get together of friends. In that case, is it essential that I have to call them back and thank them. Though it is not going to matter anything for me, should I call them and say a word of thanks?

Hey Smilyn Its good to hear that you had a great time with your guests. I would suggest you to call them up and say thanks for coming to your place that day and for making your party special. Do tell them how much you enjoyed their company and how much you appreciate that they cared to attend your party. It will make them feel nice and even you will enjoy this whole activity.

It would be nice gesture to do it, or if you are in touch with them by e-mail a nice thanking you email would do. They will feel nice about it and the so will you. A good chance that you may want to get together more often.
