I am invited to a b-day party, where the people throwing it have hired a bartender. The guests are asked to bring a bottle of liquor. Should I get the person a birthday gift or not. I don't particularly care for the person, but I work with her husband, what do you think I should do?

Definitely take a birthday card, but no other prezzie. The bottle of alcohol is the prezzie, maybe put some bows and things on it to look like party time! have fun!

Nothing more than a gift card, the woman whom I dont know might take a personal gift or even a gag gift the wrong way and just to stay out of people's hair I would just do or get something that I would get any other stranger.

I would assume that the bottle of liquor would serve as the gift. If you are averse to liquor, then bring a gift and let the hostess know that you brought a gift for her to enjoy instead.

why would you need a bartender if your bringing your own liquor. never heard of that one before. alcohol can be expensive enough, get them a gift card. you can go wrong with those.

No, if you have to pay for a bottle of liquor then you shouldnt have to buy a gift on top of that, especially if it is not your friend.

You should buy some liquor as a gift.

If you don't know much about the person, get them something small, like a gift card or something...

If you feel strongly that you shouldn't get her a gift then don't go to the party. You probably wouldn't have any fun anyway.
