[quote=Anonymous]I think standards have gotten so high in the social media Era that it feels too daunting. My mom used to throw one of these for the neighbors. Ranging in age from early 30s with kids, to mid 80s. She would serve chex mix, ham pinwheels, homemade cookies and some beer and soda. In 1999 this was a fine party but nowadays no one would want to go. Hang out with the elderly neighbors? No cocktails or hard liquor? Cheap unimpressive food? My friend throws a party for just her girlfriends because everyone's husband including hers is so antisocial. I know you're about to get a bunch of responses from people with "packed social calendars" but those are rich people. I'm speaking as a MC woman, 39.[/quote]
