Almost June

The year is just flying by, can't believe it is almost June already.
1. Do you have many celebrations in the month of June?
2. What one alcoholic drink (if you can pick just one) do you enjoy in the summer?
3. At a BBQ, which one would you rather have, a hot dog or hamburger?

Yep, it depends on where you live, who you are and who you know. I've heard of grad parties, even sweet 16 parties costing upwards of twenty thousand.
Yep. Vacation is not cheap and we are doing that instead of a party.
"long and hot and boring."
He should be graduating, on a hill on a 90 + degree day like I did 25 years ago. lol. I wouldn't take back that day for nothing. We always talk about how my dh and sister went in and out of the high school to the water fountain as they were so warm. lol.
Unless it's potluck, or I've been requested to do so, I don't bring anything to parties hosted by others. That doesn't mean I'm not generous. I might bring the hostess a gift. Or I might send him/her thank you gift after the event. Also, there are many ways to be generals and "do something" for friends that don't include bringing things to parties.
I know, we have been through this conversation before. I would never go someplace empty-handed but that is just me.
That's interesting, are you assuming that no hostess gift was given? Nope, I don't assume anything. You just brought food, without asking or having the hostess ask you to bring something? Yep, always do and they always appreciative, especially at a big party, like a BBQ. If it is a dinner party and we have not been asked to do a potluck, then I would ask what they would like. If no food is needed or wanted, I would still bring a bottle of wine or flowers or something small. As for doing things for friends, that's kinda the point of hosting a party, wouldn't you think? lol I guess in your circle. In our circle we are always doing things for one another.
You haven't ever been to an event or a restaurant that has a buffet that is replinished with the same food? Every single time it's been new things not a fresh tray of the same food? Interesting.
Of course, at catering halls and restaurants that have parties. I DID say I DO replenish chips, veggies, dip, those kind of things.
Yes, but there are a lot of parties the summer after graduation...there isn't any way that my kid (or us if we are also invited) can go to all of them and spend the evening at each and every one of them. There were like 8 or 9 this past weekend alone, many of them overlapped.</p><p></p>
Unfortunately, then you might not be able to go to all of them. That seems like a lot of money too, to go to that many. How much do you usually give the graduate?
A graduation or 16th birthday party?

That would be the point of the host gift...
