Think a few steps ahead
- If a last-minute emergency prevents you from missing a moderately important gathering, be sure to still send a gift and a handwritten note.
- Be sure to mention you're sorry for not making it and don't put the person that invited you.
- Don't fish for validation, but validate them. Reiterate the fact that you value your relationship and that you are not rejecting them permanently.
