Here’s what we’d do
Name the visit as tea, coffee or conversation and choose a time between meals. A clear link lets the host keep things simple and guests plan food elsewhere. There is no need to apologize for offering a small gathering with a real finish.
How to make it happen
Go at your own pace.
- Before inviting
Choose the practical details
State the time window and what refreshments, if any, will be available.
- The shared part
Give the activity room
Offer a comfortable place to sit and let conversation be the main activity.
- A good ending
Finish at the agreed pace
Finish at the agreed time without adding an improvised meal out of obligation.
