Been to quite a few, and was at a party thrown by friends on Saturday.
We love parties, and are always hoping for invites, whether or not we accept is down to work, family, and other commitments. Sometimes something comes up which means we cant make it, but we always let the hosts know. We have had invites from friends and strangers, and have to say that its a great way of meeting new people!
Random invites from males hoping to put a party together to get a shag would be filed under the button marked "delete" lol! Not all single males are like that, our invite to the party on Saturday came from a single male, but he is a much respected friend!
If you havent already figured it out, we are huge party fans lol!
A word of caution though...
We havent yet recieved an invite where they expect you to pay towards "expenses", but in time we probably will. Whilst its ok to ask us to contribute to the buffet by bringing along some food, or maybe chip in a couple of quid for the cost of equipment (some people hire in a hot tub or suchlike), there is no way we would pay some of the prices we have seen quoted (£30 or even £40!!), sounds way too much like a business. Our local clubs charge less than that !!!
There are "invited members only" clubs, which is kind of like a party invite, but to a club where you have to pay, but they are usually up front about it, and have great facilities, so you cant class them the same as the "pay to play" parties being run for profit. |
