Would you do this?

DH's 40th is coming in October and were kind of tight with money right now. I still want to have something for him with his friends though. We live in a condo so having it at our place isn't possible. However, one of his best friends live in a big house (has parties all summer long). Would it be rude to ask to use his place?  I would most certainly do all the setup and clean up afterwards. I wanted to make ire I wasn't being rude by asking him. 

 

Tha ka.

Re: Would you do this?

  • depends on how close you are and the other person's personality.  My Aunt asked to have my cousins bridal shower here since they are trying to keep cost low and there is no one who has a big enough yard and I am more than happy to do it and honored that they asked.

  • I think that really depends on your relationship. Generally I would wait for someone to offer their home for a party, but there are a very few people in my life I'm so close to I could see it being okay to ask for that.

  • If it's a 'best' friend, then yes - I would ask.

  • They are pretty close. He was a groomsman in our wedding. 

    I will go ahead and ask, the worst he can say is no, an I'd be in the same spot I am now.

  • not at all, not if he's one of your husbands best friends. and then it'd be possible to be a surprise if you wanted. 

    asking a random aquaintance because they have a big house would be rude, but not a good friend.  one of my good friends is hosting my daughters party because we're up in the air with buying a house and needed to get on planning it.  she offered, but i was actually planning to ask her.  

  • why not? We hosted my aunt and uncles 60th b day party. Their kids didnt have the space and we did. They did everything and gave us a gift card to a local restaurant as a thank you.
