[quote=Anonymous]We were invited to a holiday brunch party, and the online invitation asked for people to list the dish they would bring once they RSVP’d yes. The party is next weekend and I guess very few people added a dish to the list so now the host is sending out updates and suggesting dishes for people to bring. The host is only supplying dessert it seems, so they are asking for egg dishes, casseroles, fruit salad etc.

I’m all for pitching in for a casual barbecue or things like that, but I feel like if you are going to host a holiday party then you should expect to supply the food. If you want guests to bring something, ask people to bring a dessert or a drink or something where people can pick something up from the store on the way if they need to. . But to supply the main meal?  Especially for a brunch where you have to get up early to cook and for things to still be hot after transportation.

It’s not like we’re struggling in our 20s. We’re all late 30s, early 40s professionals.

Why do I feel peeved about this? I know I’m free to RSVP no, but I won’t just on principle. I’ll just vent about it here :).

Any easy suggestions for what to bring?[/quote]
