Your help please, merkin dwellars....

We know nothing about this -we're Brits. But we've been invited to two this year. What is polite form? One is an all day open house, the other -I think- shorter hours evening. The first is a daughter of Beest's colleague (cow orker) -we were all shipped out together, but don't really socialise much. The second is a girl at the summer pool -now the assistant coach on the swim team. we've known her for three years, but only see her in the summer really.

So presents? If so, approx value/equivalent value compared to -say- a birthday party present for a 10 year old? cards? how long to stay? etc? Any sensible advice appreciated. beest will be the judge of sensible, so enter the silliness zone at your own risk....
