If you threw a party and found out later the guests got a GI bug

what would you do?  Idk if it's food poisoning or a stomach illness spread through the party.

 

What kind of makeup gift/stuff would you do?

Re: If you threw a party and found out later the guests got a GI bug

  • Um, nothing.

    If it was food poisoning I'd issue profuse apologies.

    I might contact the stores where I bought the food and find out if there were/are any issues.

    promised myself I'd retire when I turned gold, and yet here I am
  • New pants?

    I got a GI virus years ago at a toddler's birthday party.  I lost about 10 lbs (I was already skinny then).  I later found out that some guests (that knew they were sick) came, and didn't bother to tell anyone.   

    ETA: I think a phone call apologizing is all that is needed.

  • I was thinking a little bag of lysol wipes, saltines, and gingerale

  • The after I went to my cousin's daughter's birthday party, I was up all night dry heaving. 

    Don't know who brought the bug to the party but found out that my aunt, her daughter-in-law and the DIL's 1-year-old son all got it, too. 

  • I dunno that I would do anything. It happens - its not your fault.

     

    ETA: my step nieces were still brought to family gatherings when the parents knew full and well that they were sick and we've gotten some bad illnesses from them. No one even bothered with a "Sorry my gross-ass kid/granddaughter/etc. got you sick!"

    Not that we are bitter.

  • I don't think you need to do any kind of gift - just acknowledge and apologize.  If you had the party catered or purchased pre-made food, let them know your guests are ill.  I might consider telling the guests what business you used - they may not want to go there in the future.
    "Today, the mad scientist can't get a doomsday device, tomorrow it's the mad grad student. Where will it end?"
  • I plan to die of embarrassment if it helps.

  • Did you prepare the food or have it catered?

    If you had it catered I'd apologize but not die of embarrassment.  I might call the caterer and ask them to call my guests and apologize.

    The lysol, gingerale and saltines is cutesy. I don't know if barfing and the shhiits make me feel cute-appreciative.

    I don't think a gift is really in order.

    Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!
  • it happens.  I would be embarrassed to RECEIVE a gift if I got a bug at a party... just an "i'm sorry" will do.

    that sucks.

    I used to be Goldie_locks_5 but the new nest is so screwed up that I was forced to start over.
