NP. Lead with this.

We’ve had friends over three times and before the outside only get togethers, we’ve mentioned “we’re bringing our own salads” or “let’s make s’mores - I have all the ingredients” and “I’m grilling kabobs - want to customize your order or want to BYO meal?”

So, send a brief, and I mean brief! email saying that you should have communicated better and bringing your own food and supplies has become a new practice, akin to always making sure you always have a mask. Our new normal is just so weird and awkward and truly no offense meant. Loved seeing everybody and hope to get together soon. (Bonus points: toss in a genuine compliment:”we all needed a change of scenery and loved relaxing in your backyard.”

Be super kind in tone because she will read and reread and analyze every word.[/quote]

+1.

In my opinion, your SIL asking you to apologize is ridiculous. Yes, you should have communicated better, but being upset to the point that she sent you an email about it is unnecessary. [/quote]
