How can I get myself invited to my neighbours parties.

Yeah I know I am a CF but they look really good Grin

I live semi rurally and a neighbour that lives opposite has what looks like fab parties and I want to go! Was struck with FOMO last night as there seems to be so many people arriving , much merriment and a DJ. Bonfire night is a proper show as well.

I cant walk directly across as there is something between our house so I have no real reason to be on 'their side'.

So any ideas how I can shoe horn myself in? The only thing that I can see we have in common is that we both have a sports/lesuire interest Grin

I think you just start chatting to them on the street, invite them in for coffee one day, send them recommendations etc for your shared interest. Things will stem from there if they're going to.

You have to invite them to your place otherwise you're just a cheeky free loader

You need to invite them first, doesn’t need to be a big party, small bbq is fine.

Invite them for dinner, then. Why should they extend hospitality to you when they don't know you and you haven't offered any?

Invite them over for a coffee/tea and have a chat about your common interest, as a first step. You need to make friends with them, before you get invited to their parties!

It's really not fair to not invite people to your home just because their house is bigger or maybe just nicer.

Start by inviting them for coffee. First time you talk, just ask whether they would like to have a coffee sometime. Second time you see them, ask them in.

You might enjoy their company.

Any reciprocal invitation is just a bonus.

Well you know, friendship is generally a precursor to such invites.

If you can't establish a genuine friendship with them then you're not going to enjoy the parties even if you go!
