Translations:Thanking Your Guests/11/en

Thanks can also carry an unspoken second message. A warm note may signal openness to meeting again; a polite but brief one may signal that the evening is complete in itself. Both are legitimate. Difficulty arises when the signal sent is not the signal intended, which is why clarity in wording tends to serve everyone better than ambiguity.

| Safety=Expressions of thanks are a form of contact, and contact carries its own considerations. A guest who shared a phone number for practical reasons connected to one evening has not necessarily agreed to ongoing correspondence. Keeping follow-up proportionate respects that boundary.
