[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where are the GUESTS' manners in this thread? Why not be gracious about the amount of effort hosting is and think "that's nice they invited me." Seems to me that is someone opens their house and goes to the trouble of organizing a party, guests could be happy about that and a less b*tchy about some of these other details...[/quote]

I always make sure we eat at home before going to a party (either breakfast, lunch, or a heavier snack) bc I usually don't like much the party food, and prepare to mingle than eat ravenously, but still, I appreciate the snacks / nibbles that are put out.

IMO if someone goes through the trouble of organizing a party, they should throw out something for guests to at least nibble on.  I have never been to a party where there was no food, I never hosted a party with no food, and cannot understand why it is so tough to throw some crackers / cheese at least on a table for those guests who may be hungry.  Guests' manners in this thread are there, it may be safe to assume that the posters above said nothing other than 'thanks, what a wonderful party, we had so much fun' to their ungracious hosts. Why organize a party around lunch time and not offer at least some food? I would find it strange.

holy cow!ungracious hosts?! Who knew that inviting you and your rug rat over for a few hours of kiddie fun to celebrate the anniversary of THEIR could was ungracious? Of course its ALL about you, your ankle biter, and your stomach. That's definitely a gracious guest right there!

FYI--grace is not limited to what you do/say in front of others, its how you carry yourself through life (even behind closed doors and on anonymous forums). [/quote]
