Thank you note/email?

[Anonymous]

Went to boss' house for informal dinner last night (very awkwardly informal - he was barefoot and his wife was in her PJs!). Do I send a thank you note or email? When is it appropriate. I don't have a blackberry, he does. I can it wait to Monday morning? Or should I send it from my personal email?

Sorry to overthink this- but my relationship w boss is bery strained and awkward. I want to make sure I dot every "i" and cross every "t"

Since it was so casual, I would send an email from either your personal or work email, over the weekend that just says, [boss], dh and I had such a nice time last night. Please thank [your wife] for making such a great dinner and thank you for inviting us. OP

That's it.

I say send a thank you email to him and his wife. Write what 12:41 told you to.

And ugh on the pjs. I get invited each year to a casual acquaintance's open house each Christmas Eve Day (I'm Jewish). I never go. This year, I took my DD and we went. Hostess was wearing sweat pants. There were never more than ten people there the entire time. Super awkward.

Wait till Monday and email. Keep it simple.

Dear boss,

Thank you for inviting my husband and I over for dinner. It was lovely to meet your wife. She/you are such a great cook.
