house party questions

30 Mar 2011

If I was going out for a posh dinner, I'd dress appropriately. If I was going out for fish and chips, I wouldn't care what I was wearing.
Besides the point I think but I wouldn't go to a party in a house that required payment for entry whether it was 20 quid or 200 quid.
If I was going to a ball, I'd dress appropriately in a nice evening dress. If I was going to a rave I'd dress appropriately in jeans and comfy shoes.
Don't we all adjust to our surroundings so that we fit in as well as we can? dunno

ok forget 200 quid you awkward sod and replace it with '' whatever you call silly expensive for a house party'' type of exclusive party.. in my experience it tends to be around the 200 quid mark for what i am trying to describe so i used that figure ..
dont read anything into the dude comment its a habit dude

Ok ...let`s take price out of the equation lol

How about being invited to a party in a private house that has an indoor swimming pool and a gym and a jacuzzi .....the hosts are obviously well off ....would you make more of an effort ?
Is that more the point ?
make more of an effort?? why someones bound 2 push me in the pool sooner or later anyway
cant see the point of getting all done up to look like a drowned rat anyway..
I always put an effort in if we`re going to a club anyway...

We like to feel comfortable in our environment and for us that includes dressing well and appropriately. This is our approach regardless of the nature of the venue.

How did you manage to put what I wanted to say and ended up waffling about in half a page, all squished into 2 sentences? :uhoh:
Clubs... different again. Felt a bit weird wearing my normal type of clubbing atire when on a club social with people who I'm happy lounging in my old scabby pjs while raising a mug of tea with. lol

This is my answer too :thumbup:
Regardless of what sort of party it is, I would try and sus out the dress code and dress accordingly.
Weddings for example - free do's, but would be more likely to go out and buy something especially to wear to it, something more expensive than my usual garb.
Exclusive/expensive party - totally depends on the dress code of the evening ... could even wear what I bought for the free wedding lol

Free party that stresses casual dress - I still wouldn't turn up in something like me joggin bottoms n crocs that I use in the garden. If it was casual dress, whether it be free or exclusive party, there's still effort involved.... I don't think I would wear posher casual to an exclusive/expensive do than I would to a free one.... would depend on where the event was as to how casual I would dress.
A free do that stresses dressing up, then I would make the same effort as I would if it was an exclusive/expensive do that stressed dressing up. I certaily wouldn't have less respect for someones dress code just because I wasn't being charged to attend! :shock:
If it's clothes for 'playing' in - then whether it be free or exclusive, I wouldn't splash out of a comfortable price range for something that could well be ruined in an evening :cool:
So ummmm, I suppose I wouldn't alter my dress code purely because something is considered more up market. I would try to follow a dress code, if that dress code meant having to splashing out on a more expensive outfit, then I would, regardless if it was a free party or something more exclusive/expensive ........
...but there again, my 'exclusive/expensive' is probably a lot different to other peoples - I'm not sure I would attend something that did require too much pomp and ceremony, cos it's not my scene, not something I would enjoy. So I can't really say if I would pay more for a free 'posh' party than I would for an ultra exclusive/expensive party - cos I don't think I'll ever be in that position confused

Bugger - Just read the "House Party" bit :doh:
Still same as above tho - whatever the hosts dress code was, I would dress accordingly. My price range for 'posh' clothes is the same budget - regardless of whether the party was free or exclusive.

the money is to cover expenses like a few single girls

Is this a party or a brothel?

just one of the reasons we don't do paid house party's there are also on or two clubs that use the same tactics to fill up with single guys ...quite successful too I'm told blink
