Hey ladies,
Well, I was coming to post on the HC thread about some specifics, but I saw this thread. I had a little "get together" at my crib last night. I provided everything, we actually had too much stuff. We had a full menu: meatballs, smokies, hot wings, finger sandwiches, chicken finger platter, chips, dip, cake, soda, beer, wine, mixed drinks, etc... I think everyone had a good time, I actually only spent about $100 (well probably not that much, one of my best friends bought some icehouse, and a big bottle of parrot bay), but I have been planning for a while. I was very happy with the reception, and I find that if you provide free food and drinks, EVERYBODY is more inclined to help clean up!!! My house was cleaner when everybody left than it was when they came!
But back to the original question, yes, some of my friends kept asking "Are you sure you don't want me to bring anything, I feel kinda bad for eating and not bringing anything!" I can respect that, but for this particular instance, I knew that I just wanted everyone to have fun before we start next semester, and I know that as soon as you say, BYOB, BYOF, the guest list starts to dwindle!
