[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - wow, was out all day and just checked this. Let me clear stuff up!

This is a kids also party during the day - not great friends, but school parents we've known for years. We just moved into a new house, and renovated, and it's also getting the (nosy) neighbors over who also have kids the same age/going into the same class as my kids. It's not till the Spring so I have plenty of time.

I am a big planner, so this is something I have been thinking about. I will be sending private emails to all invited, 6 families.

This is not, bring a gift party, but I never go to a party empty-handed so worried guest may bring drinks. We do not serve (my husband and I disagree on this - I don't want to serve) - and I do not want to accept a drink since I know those that bring drinks expect them to be served.

I guess I will write some note on the email when I send it - any ideas on what I should write to people I don't really know (the neighbors, not school parents)?

Thanks for the feedback![/quote]

Sounds fun!  (I'm the Jewish poster who posted about when we first got married). In the beginning, I added. "Ps-- we have a strictly kosher home. Please no outside food or drinks.  But if you insist, feel free to bring Joe some domestic beer"  so you could say. "Ps-- we have an alcohol-free home. No need to bring anything, but if you insist, Sally loves lemonade (or cookies, whatever)" [/quote]
