It’s quite a lot of work organising a party at your house as many of you will know so I would have thought a couples of beers or a bottle or something wouldn’t have gone amiss regardless. Are your get togethers always kids' parties? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone invites you to a do of just about any kind you should be bringing something as a gift, even if it’s not booze. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Quite possibly. They seem pretty normal then. If we were going to a 2 year olds party we would take a present for the wee one. Taking booze or food wouldn't enter my head tbh. We had a birthday party when our daughter turned 1 and put on some food. No one brought anything other than a present for the wee one and I didn't have any issue with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I can't imagine how stressful and horrible a party for small children would be- I'd definitely need to be on the sauce to somehow get through such a hell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not as if she needed any more presents and we didn't invite people just to fleece them of a present for a 1 year old. If I was going to a party for a child I'd take a present though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not like I’m being unreasonable by being moderately annoyed by it. It wouldn’t have bothered me as it wasn’t my child. Do you only offer someone an alcoholic drink when they visit your house on a strictly quid pro quo basis? You seem a tad stingy about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Surely the rules are fairly simple...If you are going to a kids party you take something for the kid. If that happens to be an occassion where you intend to consume alcohol then you should also take some with you, as you should anytime you go to someones house knowing you will be drinking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 The two Chinese takeaways 5 mins either side of my house both being closed on a Monday. Then heading into town to find that the one usually open on Monday has a holiday notice on the door. Fucking boo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed it’s fairly simple. If someone invites you to something where they are putting on and paying for food/drink for you to consume then you bring something either as a contribution or a thank you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if they didn't know there was food and drink being put on? It's not a question I would think to ask. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you often get invited to parties where absolutely no refreshments are offered? ETA - in your hypothetical I’d still err on the side of caution. I’d feel a bit of a brass neck showing up with nothing, being provided booze and saying ‘well you didn’t explicitly tell me’. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Do you often get invited to parties where absolutely no refreshments are offered? Its rarely a complete mystery as to what you can expect to be hapoening at a gathering. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
