Over the last year I have evolved a long email / invite to GBs that I host, Often even I think it's to long.
However I am just so concerned that people don't fuck things up that I try and give some what I would consider fairly simple rules to follow, what do you think?
It's in a private development of houses and very small apartment blocks, most parking and public areas can be viewed from apartments etc. However guests have been seen obviously recognising each other and standing around having a natter like they where at a dogging site in the middle of nowhere waiting for a shag to turn up. I ask them not to, is this reasonable?
I ask that if people want refreshments that they bring them with them, is this reasonable?
I ask them that they don't come up the stairs in a large group chatting away at full volume slamming doors behind them. Thereby making my neighbours wonder what the fuck is happening?
Are these and similar requests reasonable?
Your thoughts please. |

If you look at my profile and verifications you'll see I've been holding them for quite a few years now. Never had a problem before, the blocks being quite anonymous. It just seems to be that some 'regulars' take it for granted that they have cart blanche, it's just quite how you go about reinforcing it and educating new visitors. |

I think its reasonable to ask people to be considerate when it comes to your neighbours especially if the events are held late at night. Never been to a GB so not sure what the etiquette is for refreshments. |

think of it as ahouse party,,you dont lay on all the drinks for that,,you expect your guests to behave themselves,,and act appropriately,,and it doesnt sound like they are,,a friend of mine recently told me he banned a couple from one of his get togethers,,as they were kinda hogging the newbies,,and making alot of noice outside his house,,and they had been rgulars from near the start,,
so in answer,,nothing you have asked is unreasonable |

Whats wrong with bring your bottle. Hes not charging for gb or making profit and they are guests in his house so if they cant be considerate to others then they should have a warning if still misbehaving then ask them to leave. |

Respect others as you wish to be respected back.
As someone who has been to several of _eddonistik's g/b's I can honestly say he is a great host and doesnt deserve to have guys not respecting him and his neighbours.
There is nothing unreasonable about being asked to bring your own drink or would you want to pay a fee to attend which would probably been alot more than bringing your own??
So if you get the chance to attend one of his G/B's take it. A good time is had by everyone .

I don't see any problem in what you ask of the people attending. I think the behaviour of the some if these people is sadly slowly becoming the norm. More and more I see people at clubs and parties becoming less respectful |

Your party, your rules, so if "regulars" are not conforming, just don't invite them. I'm sure they'll get the message pretty quick.
As for the drinks, if you hold these parties on a regular basis, I would have thought that your guests would know the score by now.
Don't let others dictate to you in your own home  |
