“If there will be a cost, the host should clarify this in advance,” said Diane Gottsman, etiquette expert and owner of the Protocol School of Texas in San Antony.
She said the invitation was different than rest.
“As for the mother’s puzzle, some proactive discussions would be a better path,” Gottsman said.

“They could to ask for an airline ticket In advance and help with accommodation and food, but rent-a-car is a demanding thing, “Gottsman said.
