AIBU?

Not feeding guests?

Just wondering if I ABU.

Some friends are throwing a party. It's a big anniversary at a village hall and has been organised for months. They have lots of friends going. Most are having to travel quite a long distance and have booked hotels at £60+ for the night.

A few weeks back guests were told no drinks would be provided. Now it's clear they're not providing any food either.

I'm not really sure what the point is anymore. I would never arrange a party with no food or drinks! Do you think this is unreasonable?

OP posts:

Thanks

Make out you haven't read the e-mail properly / forgotten exactly what it said and comment on one of her Facebook posts 'ooh we can't wait though, we love a good old knees up with plenty of nosh before boogying the night away'.

Thanks

OP how old are you kids? My DD7 would be a mess if she went to a party without food and esp if we'd travelled 180 miles to get there. I'd make her a little rucksack of snacks and drinks to take with her - sandwich, apple, raisins and a drink. Will there be many other kids there?

Thanks

My DC are 4 and 6. They're not early risers/early to bed but we'll still only manage and hour or so at the party. Will be taking lots of snacks for them (may make OH wear combats and fill all the pockets).

There were going to be about 15 kids around that age, but I don't know how many will be going now. I know one family has dropped out as their child will be howling for bed by 8pm.

I'm hoping the party is this weekend and the OP gives live updates. AIBU?

Thanks

PaperdollCartoon · 17/08/2015 22:02

Truly shocking. And just want to say it's definitely not a generational thing, I'm 27 and would never do this. This kind of party has food no matter how old you are! Heck we're having a small party for DPs birthday on Saturday at our house and I'm doing some food!

Thanks

MrsWembley · 22/08/2015 11:20

MrsWembley · 22/08/2015 11:21

I need closure on this dammit!

Thanks

CadleCrap · 28/08/2015 09:40

The OP said the party was at the end of the month, so it MUST be this weekend.

Hope Op hasn't forgotten s/he started this thread!

Thanks

I'm dying to know how this "party" went

Thanks

MrsWembley · 28/08/2015 20:37

Maybe it's tomorrow then?

Thanks

bessarabiantiger · 29/08/2015 13:08

I'm hoping for video footage of a mass-brawl in a moshpit over a packet of Quavers.

Thanks

annatha · 29/08/2015 13:16

Place marking!

I have sacrificed 3 hours sleep to finish this bloody thread, I must, MUST know how it went!!! Come back Op!!!

Thanks

Squooshed · 31/08/2015 02:17

All the guests are still squabbling over the two crisps that the hosts generously provided.

It's a bloodbath.

Thanks

Squooshed · 31/08/2015 02:17

A hungry bloodbath.

Thanks

Rarity08 · 31/08/2015 02:18

Well, there won't be a food fight

Thanks

SergeantJarhead · 31/08/2015 02:25

The nearest Mcdonalds drive-through will get massacred.

Thanks

Well drat! Saw this popped up on active and was hoping for an update from OP.

C'mon, put all us Nosy Parkers out of our misery!

Thanks

Any news Op?

Thanks

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 31/08/2015 13:06

Someone pm her

Thanks

MrsWembley · 31/08/2015 15:12

Maybe it was all too much for the guests and some of them, including OP, fell victim to canabalism...

Thanks
