Advice from Judith Martin, Nicholas Ivor Martin and Jacobina Martin.
: I got into a spat with the head of social events at an embassy. She is annoyed that I brought my wife as a “plus one” to an embassy event to which I had been invited. It was celebrating a royal birthday.
With all business-related social events, the idea is to create strategic goodwill for the organization the host represents. An embassy’s entertainment budget, therefore, is intended to be used to the country’s advantage, not the staff’s amusement. And you were also wrong: You knew you were invited for business reasons, not for your charm and good looks. And while couples should be invited together, by social standards, it is still not permitted to bring someone not mentioned on the invitation.: When a certain family friend shows up, he often grimaces and says, “What’s that smell?” This happens in the car, at the house, in stores ... It’s off-putting and uncomfortable.
