[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's another thread on here where people look down on serving food from Costco at a party.  In the social media age, I think people are more into hosting a "curated" party, which can seem like more effort than it's worth.
Also...we have more ways of connecting than we did before social media/text.  Back then you saw each other in person or called on the phone. Now we're connected in so many other ways.[/quote]

You can't post photos of your Costco spread on Insta. You need a jaw dropping charcuterie board, and signature cocktail with Rosemary sprigs to get those likes. And if you can't post your party on social, is there even a point to having a party?
Sigh..
Besides that the first question is always who will be there. [b]Men especially seem to dislike parties that have anyone other than their closest bros there who they might get stuck talking to[/b].[/quote]

Why is this? I've noticed it too. When I was a kid, the dads would hang out with anyone. Now they sulk in a corner on their phone if their BFF isn't there, and that's if they even show up. We've tried to host so many family or couples events that turned into mostly ladies' nights because the men had all sorts of excuses. [/quote]
