[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree this sounds tacky. It shouldn’t cost my family of 4 $80 for homemade burgers. And what’s a block party without some sort of entertainment? The ones in our neighborhood have had things like a bounce house, live music, games, an ice cream truck.

IMO the organizer should expect to pay for most of the party but say something like “contributions welcome.” [/quote]

If it's truly a block party, the organizer should not be on the hook to pay for "most" of it. Perhaps this organizer is overcharging, but she certainly does not owe the community an open-invitation party on her dime. [/quote]

It’s not truly a block party - that’s the point. The hostess wants the social cachet of being the block party organizer with doing none of the actual work of organizing. [/quote]

But she's inviting all of you randos. It sounds like she's organizing something. Maybe OP should volunteer to help set up the entertainment.[/quote]

She should just actually host a party, crazy thought! [/quote]

It's an open-invitation party for anyone in the community who wants to gather. Perhaps she thinks she's doing something nice that her neighbors will welcome. Crazy thought![/quote]

She’s “hosting” a potluck and grilling hotdogs and charging people $20 for that. It’s either the cheapest party ever or the worst block party ever. [/quote]
