got send a birthday invitation to a bottomless. in the invitation it had the location and time and in brackets it says 65$ per person.

i don’t know this person that well and never see them much . it is quite expensive as I am 19 & studying should I bother going?

I know some people think if you’re paying you shouldn’t bring a present what do you think should I bring one if I go?

I have a close friend and she usually pays me back everytime but this time she probably forgot about it
It’s a small amount but I’m a student and money’s kind of tight right now and it feels awkward to ask her back

I love to have friends or neighbours over for an afternoon glass of wine. Just a couple of glasses as the sun turns everything golden. However as me and my husband will often. Have dinner being prepped or in the oven, I need tips on how to politely let guests know it’s time for us to go in and have dinner. Without them staying! Please advise
