Are you particular that people should come home to invite you for functions?

I think it depends on the relation we share with the people inviting us. In some cases, or for some relatives, we are sure of their serious intentions and even if they’re inviting over the phone for some difficulties, we understand that they want us to go from the bottom of their heart…in some cases, the relation and understanding is so strong and mature that you don’t even think of a card! However there are others…extended family or passing acquaintances maybe…who would give you a call just out of courtesy. Even you know that your going or not going wont ever make any difference to them…so I don’t go to such places.

Much as this may seem objectionable, I do believe that personal invitation for functions like marriage is the right way to go about it. I remember early on in my career, once I went out to purchase something during lunch time, and one of my distant aunt was also at the shop. She invited me for her adopted daughter's birthday at the shop. Normally, there would be no way she could have done that, as she didnt have my telephone number, and there was no fixed time when I reached home. I used to live alone then. So it would have been touch. My colleague was very upset that I'd been invited like that in front of everybody. In those days I didnt really understand it implies something like an insult or something. Frankly, having grown up in hostels, I dont really understand these things. But marriage invitation, I receive so many. I expect those who want me to sincerely attend it, should invite me in person.

If I have agood rapport with the person I would attend even if they invite me by post or phone. Relationship defines the issue.In these days where people live in distant places[even within the city commuting is a big problem]I do not expect this.

Hello Buchi_bulla. A phone call is good enough to invite me for functions. I like to be at such occasions as much fun can be enjoyed. I am easy-going, not that particular.

hi buchi_bulla, i am not at all visiting functions,marriages and other parties,if i visit that is also once in blue moon,motly i will attend company meetings,and close related friends or relations functions only,it is in previous days that people are inviting personally by going to the home for inviting functions,now a days it is reduced to phone itself,have a nice day

hi buchi_bulla, Regularly i am not visiting functions,i will attend functions once in blue moon,if it compulasay,i never care that the person come to my house for inviting or he may invite over phone,in previous days people are doing like that going to house for inviting function,now i thing all are gone,have a nice day

I do not expect people to come home to invite me to functions. As long as I know what is going on and when to be there, I am happy. they can come see me, they can call me on the phone, they can write me a letter, they can e-mail me, whatever. As long as i am told, that is all that counts.

I do not think people should have to come to my home either to invite me for something. I think it would be fine if they just want to call and ask me or send me an invitation in the mail.

hi, I used to be particular in this case when it comes in with my close relation. As I'll prefer my close friends or my close relatives should come down to home to give invitation for program. as i prefer if they come down to home it will be very good feeling and we can meet in reason of it. and share much time with each other as we cant spend it at time of event. So i'll prefer people to comedown to home for invitation. Or if someone just cant make for then i can accept it by phone too. I think it depends when and how u expect from the person. Thanks Regards, Amit

hi,friend,as the total social environment has changed lot when compared to revious.Now,according to the situation we have to understand the problem.There is nothing find fault with those who are unable to come and invite personally.We too face certain situations like this.So personally i am such a person,i can accustom to all situations and i can understand the hardness behind it.I attend without thinking second thought. Have a nice time.

You are making me to remember an incident. My close friend was getting married. Since we were childhood friends and we were working in diferent cities after education, we were in touch only through phone calls. She used to call regularly and discussing about her marriage, shopping she did for that, her would-be , inlaws etc. We couldn't meet before her marriage and she told that she will send the invitation though post.She missed to send the post somehow. I didnt recieve any post and I got to know the wedding choultry location from my another friend. I attended the wedding by taking off from my office , but didnt forget to tease her for not inviting her close friend for marriage. I never mistook that as I shared a strong bond with her. I usually dont expect people to come to house and invite me . Whereas my in-laws expect people to come home and they too follow the same custom which gives unnecessary trouble to all of us.

hi aunty, good morning, no, i won't particular about how they are inviting..when they invite on making call also.. i go and attend the function.. now a days we can't expect such things.. because, everybody is staying so far.. if we like the person, definitly we have to attend the function... thankyou, have a nice day.

Hi,dear Buchi.How are you recently.I have a long time didn't come myot.I miss you. Lately ,I have a course is graphics originality.It make me very sad...hahahaha..OK. In china ,etiquette is very important.Even if people don't like these ceremonies.this is the ancestor of the customs handed down.It may also can be close to a good relationship between people. When people get married ,they would send invitation personally.But now I still followed my family to attend the wedding.I'm looking forward to my friend gave me the first invitation. Happy every day ...

It's not necessary to invite people personally. A phone call, mail or email invitation, or even a text message is enough. I don't expect my friends or relatives to go over my house to just invite me to a certain occasion. Time is really valuable.... They can spend it to more important things than dropping by to just invite me...

If they invite over phone or invitation bypost for the functions, I also will greet them over phone or emial/post. If they are residing really far and cannot invite for genuine reasons, I will certainly make it a point to attend the function.

Hi Aunty, I am not that particular that people should come home to invite me for functions. If they invite me over the phone or if they mail me accross also i attend their functions. Now a days people have started inviting their friends for marriages through mails. By this they are saving their time. But my father is very particular about this the people should come and invite him then only he will attend the function or else he wont attend. Have a great day.
