Plus: Trunk party? Gender reveal? We need less of this type of creativity.
Adults used to have parties only on significant birthdays; now it’s every year. Countless events — besides the wedding reception and perhaps a shower — have been tacked on to marriages. And even those are not enough, so people have gotten creative, inventing such things as the “going off to college” trunk party and the gender-reveal party.
But Miss Manners suspects that there could be another explanation for the decline in just-for-the-fun-of-it entertaining: Today’s would-be hosts have no pattern to follow. Trust Miss Manners, this is a very pleasant way to spend an evening. And it is not hard to put on. Yes, you have a lot of cooking to do, but then the guests invite you to dinner in return, so you get several cooking-free meals in exchange.
