I will bring sloe gin. I haven’t decided yet what to wear!

evtheria · 10/06/2025 18:55

I bring: The ingredients for margaritas; mosquito coils and those outdoor oodie things so we can sit out at dusk yapping; lots of big bags of different potato crisps and some proper ranch dip, and a suitable MN hostess gift (10-pack of toilet brushes? A whole chicken?)

I wear: One of the wedding guest dresses recently featured in the Guardian

I will wear the dressing gown of doom, will bring a bottle of prosecco, picky bits, salad and some eighties tunes.

I’m bringing dessert … cutted up pear

Hoppinggreen · 10/06/2025 19:11

Well I know I am not invited but I will just come to the venue with a couple of also univited children.
We will hang around outside waiting to be invited in for food or a quick dance with someone and if anyone thinks I am BU then you are VERY rude, tight and have no interest in the comfort of your (not) guests!!!!

OudAndRose · 10/06/2025 19:14

I will bring a massive salad and no appetite.

I will go old school and wear The Mumsnet Scarf.

SardinesOnGingerbread · 10/06/2025 19:14

Party rings and wearing my bright pink pyjamas. I'll be leaving by 8.30pm because I'm not on cocaine and I'm 47.

We still talk about this in our house. If you bring the cutted up pear, I'll wee in my shorts.

OudAndRose · 10/06/2025 19:18

Will anyone be wearing the wolf fleece?

Livingthebestlife · 10/06/2025 19:21

Lettuce leaf, hard crusty bread and lentils can't be too greedy. Non alcoholic wine and I can't decide between my flowery dress or my Amish dress. I'll definitely bring books for exciting entertainment.

No, but I might dye my armpit hair bright pink, so I might bring one in case people get too excited by that. Slip it on for some cosy, thrifty, fashionable fun.

Davros · 10/06/2025 19:37

I will wear my “Woman: Adult Human Female” T-shirt and nothing else 😜
I will bring many pats of real English butter, each in its own butter dish

StressyMcStressFace · 10/06/2025 19:38

I was considering wearing a nice dress as i love dresses and always wear dresses and was hoping to buy a new dress until some bright spark said "have you considered a jumpsuit" at which point I smacked my forehead and exclaimed "Of course! I am such a such idiot for not considering something so impractical, unflattering and uncomfortable! I shall ditch all thoughts of a nice dress and be the only person I have ever met to wear a jumpsuit!"

I will not bring any food for drink as I don't want to have to use the loo which would involve me having strip naked.

Screamingabdabz · 10/06/2025 19:38

I’ll be wearing a classic - crisp white shirt.

I’ll be bringing an uninvited sibling and we will both expect a party bag full of proper plastic tat. None of this namby pamby seeds and raisins crap.

DancingDangerously · 10/06/2025 19:41

I'm sure it's already been said...

Pom bears

Artisanal Fat Balls

BBQ Badger (I think?)

Neverending Chicken

Massive MN Salad.

JockyWilsonsaid · 10/06/2025 19:41

I'll be wearing a jumpsuit and the MN scarf.

DancingDangerously · 10/06/2025 19:42

As to what I'll be wearing, I think I'll go for one of those monstrosities on the Guardian website.

As my +1 I'd like to bring an elderly Korean lady.

PomeloOud · 10/06/2025 19:49

Of course, I’ll add to the table of massive salads.

I’ll wear a Popsy dress and Saltwater sandals, or maybe mum boots and the MN scarf for the oldies.

Wolef, surely?

ErrolTheDragon · 10/06/2025 19:50

Have we got enough naice ham yet?

Catarinabella · 10/06/2025 19:53

I’ll bring my penis beaker, is it that sort of party 🤣

MagpieCastle · 10/06/2025 19:53

I'd better bring some brandy and butter because this is what I'll be wearing
'When I am an old woman I shall wear purple With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me. And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter'

Callalilly2016 · 10/06/2025 20:53

I have changed my mind. I will bring nothing but Tupperware to hoover up leftovers and drink @BeMintFatball’s champagne 😀

Gosh, I hope someone remembers the little butter knives! Wo betide anyone leaving crumbs in the butter too! Heathens.

I hope you’ve told your neighbours the date to make sure they’re not using their own garden at the same time?!?
