Would u offer a mask to others at shower or wedding?

What do you think about the idea of bringing a box of those surgical masks (kept completely sanitary) to a bridal shower and\or a small wedding and offering one to people not wearing a mask? Would you do this? (I am thinking about it as I try to decide on whether or not to attend these two events).

It could create hostility and what will you do if people refuse? I'd sooner not want to be there. Right now I'm not going anywhere I can't be assured of people wearing masks.

Wear a mask. Social distance. Be part of the solution - not part of the problem.

I wouldn't. But then I wouldn't attend either unless those being married were very close friends or famiily and then maybe I'd attend the wedding. I avoid both showers of all types and weddings as much as possible, and this is not an A.V. (after virus) kind of thing for me. I always have.

Heck no. I'm not the mask enforcer. I wouldn't attend a shower or wedding right now.

If you are the host, maybe.

If you are a guest, no.

I have friends who were planning an October wedding before the $hit hit the fan and they decided to postpone it until next year. That seemed like a smart decision to me.

Of course, if it's a baby shower, the date couldn't be changed, babies coming on their own time, but I think I'd just cancel it to protect everyone, particularly the mother to be and baby. Send a gift, but don't put people in harm's way.

A guest bringing them and offering them? If I were the invited guest and that concerned I would decline the invitation.

Personally, I think it would be rude.

No. It's not my place.

I agree with you but for some, rudeness isn't an issue... Still, those who think it isn't the place of a guest to dispense masks make sense, as do those indicating that if it's a big concern, just stay away...

@Goldengate8361 New sign of the times...why not include a request to wear masks in the invitations? If someone feels hostile about it, they can stay home.

That seems sensible and reasonable to me.
