Gift Etiquette
A girl who I was friends with in high school but sort of lost touch with in college (we are now more acquaintances than good friends) invited me to her birthday party. Am I supposed to bring her a gift? It's in a bar, so is it better if I just buy her some drinks or shots? I'm assuming she wouldn't want anything big that she'd have to carry?

I'd say just buy her some drinks. If you more so acquaintances, that'd probably be the best way to go.

You could bring a card and if you know anything about where she shops or things she likes you could get her a gift card?

Buying her a drink works, but if you think that the other guests might bring gifts you could always get her a card and write something in it like "let's do lunch on me and catch up soon".

Is the party here in NYC? The only time I've bought gifts is for 'big' birthdays like a 25th or 30th. In general if it's at a bar I don't brings a gift bc I'll buy the birthdaygal a drink or give her a gift at a later time. Too much stuff gets lost/left/stolen from bars!

Yes it is. Thanks for making this easier for me. I haven't talked to her in like 3 years outside of facebook so I wouldn't even know what to get her! Can't go wrong with a nice pomegranate martini though.

It's fairly common around here to get a card with like $10 worth of scratch off lottery tickets in it.
