[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A party at 7:30 and only appetizers? No dinner? I've never heard of this.

Is this just a happy hour type party?  No longer than an hour or 1 1/2 tops?

If not than I would state that light appetizers will be served, so people know to eat before they come.

Are you saying it should be a sit-down dinner, or at least a full meal? [/quote]

Not necessarily a sit down dinner, but food available to put in a plate and eat.  Doesn't have to be a huge amount, but a few more filling meal type items that are easy to eat with a fork in one hand, holding the plate in another.   For example, gnocchi and salad.

We are expected to feed our guests a decent meal whenever we host a party whether it's a formal or informal one and serving just appetizers would leave everyone wondering what the heck was going on.  We also always have more on hand than necessary, because running out of something would be embarrassing.  Always plates, silverware, etc.

No, probably not.  I'm from this country.  I'm just the person who eats a healthy meal before I go to a party and eats nothing while there and has a glass or two of wine, because I don't want to eat the unhealthy but delicious food that is served at a party! Thanks for all the comments, and I will be ordering a lot of filling food for this event.[/quote]
