[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our neighborhood does but I've learned from DCUM that we are the exception, not the rule...

We always have parties for:

NYE
Super Bowl
Easter
Memorial Day
July 4th
Labor Day
Halloween
Christmas (not on Christmas day, but in December)

Plus we have a lot of other parties throughout the year. Usually potluck, so we did an Oktoberfest in October and everyone brought German dishes, etc.

It's really nice because we don't have to leave the neighborhood, don't have to drive anywhere, and people can easily come and go as they please, plus it's easier with kids.[/quote]

Is everyone invited or do you just invite friends that live in your neighborhood? [/quote]

I'm the PP and the parties are predominantly neighborhood-oriented. For the Memorial Day party that we throw, I also invite families from my kids' grade (they're twins), but since most of the families in our friend group send their kids to the same school, there is overlap there. I also attended a party the other day for female lawyers hosted in my neighborhood but there were women from outside the neighborhood as well. Mostly though, it's just neighborhood people. We have such a huge group with adults and kids that the numbers can get pretty high just within our group so we don't normally invite people outside to join. [/quote]
