Private parties & charging

I’m interested in views from people who attend or arrange these in the last few years. Specifically couples not single people and not single man at all, I know they will often pay for the chance of sex.

I used to attend parties about six or seven years ago and I never once paid. I also arranged a couple in the (Cambridge) area with people from Tease 2. We never charged , people just brought a bottle. It was all couples and we sometimes would get a couple of extra well vetted single men to attend, because often the guys in couples struggle, but we wouldn’t charge them.

Been invited to a couple recently from here and it’s like more expensive than going to a nice hotel & a restaurant!

Is this normal nowadays or are these just a certain type of party- which I would call an event not a party?

I guess I would ask questions

Are they hiring a venue for the party? I could understand if that’s the case there being a fairly shared cost for anyone attending

It depends on what is on offer at the party?

I've been to quite a few and have been charged or asked to donate food/wine

I think charging a small amount isn't unreasonable. It covers the additional washing and cleaning, covers for mattresses/floors etc.

And a few parties I've been too/hosted we've done a huge lot of foos and a good selection of soft drinks were included.

If it's not equal sharing of costs and the host won't provide an itemisation of costs, then it's not being run as a non-commercial venture.

If it's friends, then there's full openness. If they're running a commercial venture, without license, insurance etc then it should not be allowed.

When is a party not a party but an event?

As soon as your asked to pay to attend. The hosts can dress it up how ever they wish, but with an open invitation and a charge its definetely a business transaction.

Call it private,secret,a celebration, but once money changes hands your into making money out of your so called "freinds".

Would you charge for people to attend your birthday?wedding?baby shower?engagement? Parties, that just crass and says alot about people.

Having helped host a few over the last year or so we only charged enough to cover the cost of the venue (airbnb), sundries, soft drinks and some snacks.

Some nights we covered costs, others we were a little over and sometimes not quite enough but overall we didn’t make a profit at all.

It’s about putting on a good party for likeminded people and to do that isn’t massively expensive which is why we only charged a nominal amount.

I’ve recently been involved with a much larger party group and that includes things like a DJ, additional lighting and other entertainment so yes they charge more, the venues are also much larger and more lavish so cost a lot more to rent out so naturally the price for attendance is higher too but again they only just cover costs.

Bottom line is this stuff isn’t free so it’s only fair to distribute the costs among everyone who wants to attend. If you don’t like the price, don’t go.

Are you inviting a chosen guest list of people , and a small charge =party

Open invite and a set charge =event
