Hi. I'm an overseas student just been awarded the PhD. I want to thank my supervisor for his support and I'm thinking of inviting him and his family for a meal or sth. In the past I occasionally had lunch with him, but I have not met his family before. Do you think it is a good idea to invite his family for a meal? What's the norm here in the UK?
I've not heard of this amongst home-based students. A bottle of wine as suggested by TreeofLife is probably the most you should do.
