Another excerpt from Madame Authuertta Bozell's Guide to Manners and Proper Behavior:
Invitations
An invitation is an unsolicited and generous offer of hospitality. It generally takes the form of an invitation to one's home, but it also could take the form of an invitation to a movie, or the theater, to dine in a restaurant or perhaps some sort of excursion. One should only accept an invitation with the intention of reciprocating in some manner.
Proper behavior requires that if one has been invited to someone's home for dinner or a party, that afterward, an acknowlesgement of thanks should be conveyed to the host, by a phone call, a note or at times a small gift as a token of appreciation.
