text: Asking more than 1 person can also give you more verities to chose from and give you thought that you never would have. Imagine that you are planning a surprise party for one of you family members that are moving from a different country. You don't know what they are interested in so you go to family members that have met them before and ask questions like, What's their favorite type of food? What activities do they think are fun? Etc. By the time the move you will have plenty of options for the food, party theme, games, and music!
