housewarming
FI are I are planning to have a housewarming party in either April or June. Would it be totally tacky to do it potluck style or ask people to bring sides/desserts? We of course would supply drinks, entrees, and appetizers.
Re: housewarming
I think it depends on your circle. Have other people done this in the past?
For me and my friends/family - it would seem a little strange. As a guest, I'm probably bring you a bottle of wine or welcome mat or house plant as a housewarming gift, so I would think it's a little off to be asked to bring food.
HTH!
Honestly, yeah......it does seem pretty tacky to throw a party for yourself while asking your guests to provide the food for it.
Potluck really only works (IMO) when the event is neutral.........no one claims it as "their" party. A housewarming paty isn't a neutral event.
You could have a BBQ that wouldn't require much in the way of sides, and do a few really simple appetizers and desserts.
Ditto 100%. I'm firmly in the camp of "guests shouldn't have to bring anything but themselves." They're not really guests, otherwise.
