Now, she seriously does not believe she is in the wrong here– particularly because her friend told everyone not to bring any food. On top of that, every single guest opted to bring something anyway– which obviously cost money.
For instance, she showed up with a rum cake from her local bakery; meanwhile, two guests brought a charcuterie and cheese board. Some other girls who attended also brought wine and candles to set the mood.
While some of her friends have taken her side, though, other people claim that it is normal to pay for food after attending a dinner party at someone else’s house.
So now, she has been left wondering whether not wanting to pay her friend for the dinner party was actually a jerky thing to do or not.
Is paying for dinner parties the norm? Regardless, do you think her friend should have been upfront about that expectation when she asked if she should bring anything? Did she have a right not to want to pay? If you had been in her shoes, would you have felt the same way?
