Here in India, it is common to receive an invitation on the day of the affair. I am not talking about, "hey, why don't you come by for pizza tonight"... I am talking about "Please come to our wedding tonight"!!!! No joke. We have been invited to a dozen weddings since we arrived, and the invites never happen more than a week in advance. Our last invitation came the morning of the wedding. Last night at 6:15pm our doorbell rang. I opened the door to see Andrew's friend, Nihal, with a stack of birthday invitations. I opened it, to find that the party was today at 11am. AND, the rsvp was for "before 7:00pm tonight". Can you imagine? So, basically you are getting 44 minutes to decide if you can make it, and then 15 hours to go buy a gift. And it's not like there's a 24 hour Walmart nearby... OR ANYWHERE IN INDIA!!!!!!
Andrew had a great time at the party!
