[quote=Anonymous]Just have the girl put out a small spread and be done with it. I agree it would have been poor manners if they asked for an organized cocktail hour after you’d said you weren’t planning one. But it doesn’t sound like that’s what happened here. Candidly, I think it is a bit rude not to do anything, particularly if that has been the daily cadence throughout their trip. A proper cocktail hour is great for transitioning from daytime activities or work into the meal. It gives everyone a chance to socialize and develop an appetite. And it’s more inclusive in terms of participation and conversational subject matter than after dinner brandy/whiskey and cigars, which generally excludes the women and can involve a bit more blue language.
