[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the families are hispanic, you should expect they'll bring their entire family, some random cousins, their neighbor and a friend they picked up on the way. [/quote]

Yes, this is accurate [/quote]

But to other people, that is seen as taking advantage of their hospitality. There are capacity limits and headcount involved, it's not a free for all unless specifically mentioned in the invitation.

Just take it into account with certain cultures
I think the memo is to be culturally aware 
Except of course for the representatives of said cultures
Fwiw I am not American and it bugs me [/quote]

The only culture that matters is the host's. It's not the host's job to cater to every individual's cultural quirks. Guests need to be culturally aware and sensitive and not unintentionally insult. This is just how it works. If it's the host's culture that shoes are off in the house then the guests comply, it doesn't matter that it's not the guest's culture to NOT remove shoes.[/quote]

I agree. My initial post was sarcastic.[/quote]
