To hold a reveal party for....

[Emilybrontescorsett]

My new house?
I'm thinking I could do with some cash as buying a new house is very expensive.
So after the wave of baby shower/gender reveal/henparties/stag parties/weddings etc etc
I've thought of having a kitchen reveal party!!!!!
It would go something along the lines of
Please come to my kitchen reveal party, where I will reveal the worktops/surfaces/units I have chosen, along with flooring choice.
Please bring either a starter, main or pudding plus a bottle of fizz, make sure it is not from Aldi !!!!
Please no cheap crap!
I will enclose a gift list but really really would prefer cash.
If you do happen to bring a gift( and not cash, which is much preferred,) then it must be only from the list and on no account be from any other shop than John Lewis
If you do not live near a John Lewis then please give me cash.

I'll include a tacky poem too.

Anyone who doesn't come will be deleted from my friends list on fb after I have posted a sarcastic meme about only true friends support you in times of need and those who don't can fuck off and die!

What do you think?

RU serious? Who on earth would wasn't a party to reveal a kitchen? An insecure show off!

DagenhamRoundhouse are you serious

Are you kidding it’s the event of the year, a listers like mylene klass will be there.
It’s so lush, I bet they have drinks in jam jars, canapés on shovels and the like

Oh please do it

Oooh, you could have a cake where when you cut into it, the bottom layer reveals the floor tile colour, the middle layer is the cupboard colour and the top layer is the wall colour. All lathered in a very, very thick layer of neutral bright orange buttercream.

Yes,a cake made by faux artisans in industrial estate off the south circ

Smh.

Makes sure you tell them no breastfeeding.

Are you going to charge for drinks? I’m sure everyone will contribute as it is for a good cause. What a good way to pay for your new Heston Blumenthal coffee machine.

Is it bring a bottle and if so, have you decided how much corkage to charge?

Ooooooh! Yes, BYOB!

I can hide my two year old Asti Spumante in amongst the Prosecco!

Fabby!

I'd Come. And pinch your ideas I may do a Christmas tree reveal.

I think this deserves nothing less than a Candlelight Supper using the Royal Doulton with the hand-painted periwinkles.

And yes, do BYOB. I've got a bottle of Cinzano I've been trying to get rid of for about three years.

I'll bring the stunt pineapple ... with cheese cubes. Classy.

I hope you aren't going to hold the pre-reveal supper at the same venue.

Obviously, only the most preferred guests will be invited to that.

gnome no,, the person who catches the whisk from the bouquet puts more money into OPs pot but gets her left over brochures. Watch them run!

Ok I need to make my 'save the date' invites but I must make sure that it is held on a day where public transport is very limited.
I'm also going to go with the devil may care attitude regarding parking .
As long as my guests aren't blocking me in I don't care.
The neighbours will just have to accept that sometimes it may be difficult to get onto or out of their drives. After all they do not own the road!
I'm going to go with the Chinese lantern idea. Who cares if they damage the neighbours sheds and frighten the animals.
All guests will bring their own plonk, and again not from Aldi, plus as stated a dish.
Cash gifts are preferable and I will be opening all gifts on the special day. I'm hoping this will deter anyone from being tight. There really is no excuse for not giving your host a fab gift is there?
None of this your presence is my present malarkey, who really believes that?
No the bigger the cash gift the bigger the smile.
I'm toying with the idea of inviting a very old friend. However due to misfortune she doesn't appear to have much cash. I don't want to embarrass her on the day by opening her well meaning but cheap gift. Any advice wise munsnetters?
Also she will probably insist on bringing all her very well behaved dcs, all 5 of them seeing as her h has buggeted off with the childminder and left her penniless.
Oh God I could do without the embarrassment of having her there but she has been coming round crying each week and I've took pity on her by letting her do all my cleaning, ironing, childcare and accounts. Plus paying her a fiver out of sheer pity.

You can ditch your friend now, I’ll sort it all, balloons and lanterns are so last year. I’d do a dove release, we could charge each guest £50 to name a dove after them.

Just send me a link to your planning website and I’ll get right on it.

You are joking or don't have much respect for your friends asking them to contribute to the cost of your kitchen.

Don’t forget your follow up poem, for when your guests haven’t put quite enough money into the wishing well (which will have a bell in it for people to ring when they put their money in).

Babychamp- Chinzano!!!! Clutches pearls, faints.

manicmij satirical piss taking lost on you, eh?

Good point Sparkwood but must not be too soon after the event in case they cancel the cheques.

Babychamp- Chinzano!!!! Clutches pearls, faints.

Relax, babe! They're reely good in cocktails! Mix 'em in with a bit of lemonade and they're luvverrly 😍

I'd love to come, can I bring my 2 dogs?
