@karimatical: why nobody hosts anymore… because being the host means handling every single detail while everyone else just shows up. the prep, the food, the cleaning, the cost… it’s too much. no wonder people aren’t throwing parties like they used to. #hostingstruggles #relatablecontent #adulting101 #partyplanning #realtruth
i want to spoil every person when i host an event but the lack of reciprocation is never matched and it really does feel like i threw my own humilation ritual

I think it goes really hand in hand with the death of community. People just don’t show up for each other like they used to, everyone is so divided now :(

My work friend hosted a Friendsgiving with 30ppl, he was going to cook everything & I said “absolutely not” & started a what dish is everyone bringing e-mail (so many ppl said TBD) so I went around reminding people that it was 30ppl they had to bring something substantial and that if it was too much work for the host he would never do it again. Everyone stepped up with so much food, extra tables and chairs, wine etc. and we all helped clean up & pack up at the end of the night. The host said he is definitely doing it again. It can work out, but I think people need to be reminded of expectations and consequences (such as not hosting anymore) b/c this isn’t your mama’s house, we all need to step up if we want to befits from community

Even if it’s not a potluck you message the host and ask if they need anything and show up with AT MINIMUM a bottle of something or dessert or an appetizer

For me, it’s how late people feel that they can show up. It’s my home, not a club- try to be here at least the hour it starts.

I hosted four large parties. Things in my home were broken, people I explicitly said I didn’t want to come were brought, people overstayed their welcome, or my place was trashed. Never. Ever. Again.

I could never show up to someone's house empty-handed. One year they insisted I bring nothing so it showed up with flowers at the very least, I think it's an etiquette thing that people have forgotten.

It’s so expensive to host too. & the work of cleaning before & after & setting up & planning special things for the kids so they don’t destroy your house & people can have fun. 🤦🏻♀️

It’s people canceling last minute. Recently went to a party where they planned on about 40 ppl. 15 showed. Felt so bad for the hosts.

I went to a friend’s Christmas party and people looked at me funny because I brought wine. They serious said “oh she said not to bring anything” I said “this is for the host??”

I had 40 people RSVP yes, some confirmed the day of. Only 8 people showed. That was the last straw and now I live across the country!

I don’t host big parties anymore, I invite the two friends I know will show up and have “dinner” parties.

You have to cultivate a group of friends that DOES know how to act. It’s hard. But you know a good one when you find one. Deepen those relationships.
