On Monday I brought my STDs with me to work so I could stuff the envelopes and send them out over lunch. I had them sitting on the desk when K walked in to say hello. K is a very sweet lady who comes into our plant periodically to conduct training and team-building exercises. We always have a few nice chats when she's in town.
Back on topic.... She came in to say hello and saw the STD on my desk and commented on how pretty they were. I hand her one to look at (we've discussed the wedding in passing before) and she took it to mean I was giving her the STD. Thankfully, I don't think she realized I was a bit confused for a second. I just went ahead and got her address so I can send K & her husband an invite.
I think we both made etiquette faux pas. Mine was showing her the STD and hers was assuming the STD was for her. Thankfully I had a few extras, so I still have enough for my OOT VIPs. Honestly, if she decides to come, it will be nice having her there. I don't think there will be any problems with her easily getting along with my other guests. Mistakes happen, but at least I was able to roll with it this time and not cause either one of us to be embarrassed.
