[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I didn't know someone well enough that they were aware that I didn't drink or serve alcohol for religious reasons, I probably wouldn't invite them to my housewarming in the first instance. [/quote]

WTH? She's inviting HER NEW NEIGHBORS. Once upon a time, this would have been considered extremely hospitable. Only on dcum does something so pleasant and neighborly become something to criticize.

OP, I do not hold any beliefs that prevent me from serving certain foods or beverages, nor does anyone in my home suffer from potentially deadly allergies or addictions. So I serve all kinds of food and drink, and happily accept the same. I often bring a bottle of wine with me to parties. But I certainly understand that other people have different circumstances, and I am not so demanding or inflexible that I cannot adjust my expectations and behavior to such minor inconveniences. I hope that all your new friends and neighbors feel similarly.

I would do exactly as the Jewish poster above did regarding her kosher home. Her wording was clear and polite and won't leave anyone in doubt about what (not) to do. And then you won't have to worry about this when they come over next time. Since many of these people are neighbors, hopefully you will enjoy each other's company and be seeing lots of them.

Best wishes, and congratulations on your new home.[/quote]
