Hard conversations
Two or three wordings, gentle to firm, from your real numbers and decisions. Rosela remembers who was told what, so the whole family hears one story.
Can Elena's comadre come?
Your rule: ask us first. 142 guests, $179 each.Mamá, nos encantaría, pero ya cerramos la lista: somos 142. ¿La invitamos al brunch del domingo?
Mamá, ya cerramos la lista de la fiesta. Cada persona nos cuesta $179 y ya pasamos el presupuesto. Puede venir a la misa y al brunch.
Mamá, no. Ya acordamos 142 y no vamos a cambiarlo. Gracias por entender.
