Do I Have To Pay For Everything?
Day 45 - March 28, 2018
Correct etiquette says that you should never show up at someone's house empty handed. Whenever visiting for a holiday or friendly get together you should always arrive with something to share.
When I started holding puppy parties at my house everyone wanted to know what to bring. Originally I would tell them to bring their own alcohol and snacks so I wouldn't have to pay for them. This BYOB policy was a complete disaster for the first few parties because everyone seemed to bring the cheapest 6-pack of beer they could find along with a bag of potato chips
What I need is a good beer batter recipe.
After the first party I vividly remember how much seasonal beer and bags of chips that were left at my house. Meanwhile, my own stockpile of vodka and rum was gone. A stockpile of 40 bottles and cans of beer and 10 bags of potato chips might sound fun to some, but I don't drink beer and I don't eat potato chips, so this was annoying.
I saved the beer for the next party and told everyone not to bring beer any more, but some people don't listen to instructions. More beer arrived, but thankfully a lot of the original supply got used up.
After the second party I decided it was best that I take over the open bar supply and just ask everyone to pitch in to cover that cost. I expand my open bar supply every party and everyone is able to make all the mixed drinks they want, along with the snacks that I also supply.
I started asking everyone for $10 donations to cover the cost of the open bar. They'd spend more than that for the BYOB party, so no one should be complaining. When people ask me what to bring I tell them to forget about the standard "don't arrive empty handed" etiquette because this is not that kind of party. If they insist then I tell them to give me $20 instead of $10.
Other than snacks and drink, there are a lot of other expenses that go into running a party. I always stock the house with fresh towels, bedding, soaps, and any other cleaning supplies that are needed for before or after the party. Depending on the size of the party, the cost of cleaning supplies rivals that of the food. I also stock the house with a few bottles of poppers and different lubes everywhere.
At my last party someone came running up to me and feverishly asked "Where are the condoms?!" I could feel that I gave him the deer-in-headlights look because I don't use them and I don't buy them. Apparently there was some really hot action happening on the mosh mat and the condoms were requested.
Thinking quickly, I remembered that I had a supply from the health clinic from the last time they gave me "the talk" about safe sex and using condoms. They gave me a goody bag of condoms to go home with. I dug around in a drawer and gave him that supply.
The following morning someone was teasing me about that deer-in-headlights look I made. I joked back and just said I was surprised with the question, but what I really should have said was that I supply enough for the party, like the alcohol, snacks, play space, activities, and lube, so why should I provide condoms?
Some people talk about their sexual activity openly while some never talk about it. Some are embarrassed to buy condoms and some will proudly buy several boxes.
I tell everyone to bring their own condoms now, that's BYOC. If they don't have the courage or cash to pay for their own box of condoms then they shouldn't be involved in a fetish party.
Would anyone be interested in sponsoring the condoms I give out at my parties? Contact me privately and I'll give you the address to ship them to.
Love and licks,
