A couple planning to host their wedding in their home state while living across the country from most of their family members is considering having a separate party for friends in their new state. They also want to keep costs down and not burden guests with travel. They are wondering if it would be tacky to have photos from the “real” wedding at the second party. Advice columnist Eric Thomas suggests that as long as the photos are not labeled as such, it is a lovely gesture to include friends in the celebrations.
Another reader suggests a newsletter as a way for an “Invisible Dad” to stay connected with his family and vice versa. The idea is based on personal newsletters written by the reader’s father after he retired, staying in touch with extended family members through interviews and updates. Thomas praises the idea and suggests recording the interviews for a lasting record of family history and connection. Thomas also encourages readers to reach out to loved ones to express gratitude for their presence in their lives.
