Another funny hosting story

by Jenise » Sun Nov 01, 2015 5:39 pm

So last night at a Halloween party, my husband commented to the host about the bowl of pretty apples on the bar. Yes, the hostess said, "Oh my god, when ______ walked in, she handed me these and said 'Are we going to decorate apples tonight?' Which I didn't quite understand, so I was kind of stammering, and then she said, 'Well your invitation said to bring apples!' And I had to say uh well no, it said appies, short for appetizers."

Next invitation says: bring your bifocals. :lol:

Of course, a fine seasonal response is to bob for them. You can still do that, right?

Quite similar to a recent experience here. I said " Bring a big appetite" and the guest showed up with a HUGE cheese, charcuterie, platter. She owned that she scanned the email too quickly.
Mamma Mia !

LOL, Christina. I'm sure you graciously incorporated it into your meal (but I hate it when guests show up with food I didn't expect.)
