[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A family friend of ours has invited us to join them for a week at their beach house this summer. They have 2 kids, we have 3 kids.

What should we offer/bring to show our appreciation for hosting us? We will offer to pay for groceries and eating out, but should I bring a host gift? Anything else? Do I need to do all the laundry on the day we leave (sheets, towels)? This is our first time being hosted at a vacation home.

[b]Fwiw, both families are well-off (kids in private schools, luxury cars, etc), so it’s not a financial burden for them to host us or for us to offer to pay for stuff. I want to be a good guest.

This sentence tells me that OP is new to having money and also new to being invited to people's vacation homes. [/quote]

Maybe, maybe not. Either way, nice that she's asking for advice. Have fun, OP![/quote]

Can you imagine ever saying in real life “hey, Suzie, Betty and her family invited us to their beach house for a week this summer.  What do you think we should do to show our appreciation?  Obviously money isn’t the issue since we both have kids in private schools and drive luxury cars.  Thoughts?”

Suzie and Betty, being friends, would already know the family is doing well so there is no need to mention this. To DCUMers, it's worth mentioning.[/quote]

Anyone who owns a beach house isn’t hard up for money. [/quote]
