Husbands 30th Birthday

[Anonymous]

Op here: I will address this one last time because clearly some of you are just stupid.

1) it is SIX people that we are having over.
2) it is a small backyard thing. Drinks, food, fire pit
3) we don’t live in DC.
4) the state we live in allows outside parties of up to 50 people. We are having SIX people.
5) I did not ask your opinion on me having 6 friends over for a small party to celebrate my husbands birthday

Do you get it now? It is S I X friends! I am not throwing a 200 people party at my house. I am LEGALLY allowed to have up to 50 people but I am just having 6. We are all late 20s, early 30s so I’m not having elderly people over and killing them like someone above said. So please just STFU because I truly don’t care if you have an issue with this. You aren’t coming to it so move the hell along. Thanks!

OP, I live in a state where there are few restrictions (unfortunately) but the folks spreading covid here are doing it indoors at restaurants and bars, doing it at the freaking motorcycle rally for thousands, at the college parties, they are the ones walking around without masks in stores.

My friends are all working from home, wear masks, and do not attend large group events.

I've had a few couples/families over for similar things I had to figure out some shared food stuff. I put sanitizer everywhere. I put out individual bowls and plastic utensils (that I took out with clean gloves) and made sure I had paper towels (no shared towel) in the bathroom. I set up the chairs in groups 8 feet apart. everytime I picked up food (which we ordered) I used clean gloves. If someone went in the house for the bathroom, etc, they wore a mask.

If your husband is a whisky lover then you could get a set of Glencairn glasses (or glasses + decanter) monogrammed? Or get the cut crystal version of the glasses. Both options available at their own website.

Or get some fancier whisky - The Macallan Edition Series set or some Japanese 21YO (Hibiki, for example).

Enjoy your Covid party.

OP here; HAHAHA 6 friends is a covid party? Are you stupid? Also, as I posted before, we aren’t in DC and in our state we are allowed to have groups of 50 people for outside events. I’m having SIX friends over. Explain to me the problem? Are you hiding out in your basement until this is over? Sounds like it and that’s sad. But you keep doing that and I’ll enjoy some good friends, food and a fire at my “covid party”.

OP, you’re asking people for advice but you aren’t being very nice with all the basement references.

She asked for advice on a gift. DCUM ignored her request and went in on telling her how many guests should be there.

If she has been on DCUM the last 6 months she should know how the response will be to any and all gatherings during COVID. She should have just asked about the gift and left out the party details because really no one needed to know she was having a small gathering.
