DEAR MISS MANNERS: For several years, it has been my pleasure to host three longtime friends -- a married couple and her brother, a particular friend of mine -- to a collective birthday dinner at our favorite restaurant.

The restaurant we go to is considered upscale for our rural area, which I mention only to show that this is a special occasion.
