Hi People
We are thinking of going to a private house party this weekend. This is something I have not done before. The hosts have said they will supply alcoholic drinks and snacks etc! What is the done thing here, do we take a bottle too? I would do that in the real world anyway? Do we offer to make a financial contribution to the alcohol they are providing, or would that cause offence?
Any regular house party guests who know the etiquette , your thoughts would be greatly appreciated?
Many Thanks  |

Contact them and ask. And certainly take whatever you will be drinking. |

Firstly, i would ask if they are charging a price to attend. Not many offer free alcohol in our experience.
If they are not asking for any money, then we would take something along such as a bottle of wine and a dessert just as a token gesture of our thanks for inviting us.
Enjoy the party! |

Thanks I will check with them, they haven't mentioned paying to attend, so I am glad I asked in here, really would be embarrassing if we had turned up and not known! |

Take a bottle with you out...when we host parties we do put on a small buffet and we have beers and wine but we don't buy loads...we don't charge an entrance fee so wouldn't want folk giving us money..
Hope you have a great time

No problem. Chances are, there won't be a charge to attend. Most are just bring your own alcohol. We sometimes take dessert as it can certainly add to the fun! |

"Take lube,handcuffs,silk scarves,a spreader bar and anything else you happen to have handy "
Just ask if they'd like money, to avoid any confusion / misunderstanding, and take appropriate clothes and a bottle of something for yourselves, I often take whatever I'm drinking and a bottle of fizz |
