Waiting

Have e-vites made us ruder? The NYT explores how folks deal with electronic invitations of all kinds. It takes a lot to plan a party these days. I like to send invitations at least a few weeks in advance for any gathering of more than 10 -- but the last time I did a written, hand addressed invite set, I got the worst response ever. Of course it was for a 60th birthday party. It seems the older you get, the busier you become.
