[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven’t read all the replies… but are people really hosting dinner parties & cookouts that often? We almost never invite adults to our house, and have very rarely been invited to other people’s houses. We occasionally eat out with other families, but usually if kids & parents get together, we meet at a neutral location and go for a hike, visit a museum, etc.

My parents were/are very welcoming of people dropping by but also never hosted dinner parties. Maybe it’s a class thing or regional thing.

As for the OP, yes, I have friends like that, but oh well. We keep inviting them to do stuff & continue to have their kids over to play. The ones I stop inviting are the ones who always cancel after saying they can meet up. [/quote]

My kids are all school aged (ES and MS) and we try to have people over 2X per month and get invited about 1x per month.

We also do 2 annual big events per year, where we have 100+ guests.

Other than the big events (catered) we host casual dinners or brunches. So bagels and lox, or quiche and pastries, or cookouts, or a casual dinner. Usually those are just one family at a time, and I wish we could schedule them almost every week - we have a lot of friends and we don’t get to see some friends as often as we would like.

I have a nice house, but it’s not spotless or perfect. But when I go to someone’s house I’m not looking for problems, I’m just excited to be going! And being invited out is nice, too, but less relaxing because it’s noisy at most dinner places.
