I've not got room in my house for a sit down meal for enough people to build up the critical mass needed for dancing. There is a reasonable restaurant literally 2 mins walk away. We can pay for dinner there then have everyone back to ours for drinks and dancing and birthday cake. I mentioned to a friend and she said why dont you get caterers in to not break up the party? But I still dont have enough room for a sit down meal even if it's catered and I find it awkward standing juggling my glass and plate. Restaurant then having to walk round the corner to continue party - is fine right? Or a mood killer?
