[quote=Anonymous]So we (I guess) would be what dcum considers "heavy hosters".  We have a regular yearly party that our friends plan on attending (we start getting the "you ARE having the party again, right?" months in advance) so I'm fairly sure that that's not an imposition.  However, we will occasionally just do things randomly...like call a local friend and say "hey, we going to x restaurant onquiet saturday afternoon to get our young ds used to eating out.  Want to take your similarly aged dc come with us?", or if we've made plans to have one couple and their kids over, we'll shoot an email to other friends (who have met the first couple in the past and have gotten along) and ask if they'd like to come over too.

This plan works well for us.  If people are available and want to participate in whatever, it's a good time.  If they say no, then no worries.  However, there are a few couples that  will say yes fairly often, and it seems like we have a good time, but they rarely if ever reciprocate.  I never really thought about it b/c it's.so "loosey goosey", but could it be that they only say yes because they feel bad about saying no?  Do they really wish we'd go away and leave them be?

Why do you not reciprocate?  I've always assumed it was because people are busy and even if they have good intentions they turn around and 6  weeks have gone by  (happens to me all the time).  However, could it be that we're not as wonderful as we think?    :shock:    :D
