Question: Do I HAVE to invite EVERYONE to my party!?
Why if I am selective, I am being a bigot and judgemental!? Should I always be concerned about offended someone or alienating someone!? Should my party be dictated by whether or not someone is offended or not!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
A party is your opportunity -- at your expense too! -- to gather the people around you whose company you like or enjoy!. You do not have to invite people you don't like!. If you are accused of being a bigot, simply say that you invited your friends and that the person or group complaining is not a friend, but if they were interested in cultivating a friendship, you'd invite them to your next party!. You might also remind them that you've not been invited to certain peoples' party for the same reason -- they aren't my friends!.

Now, I do think it is "bad form" to flaunt your guest list in front of others, including people not invited!. It can be hurtful to some to hear "Now, you're coming over, right!?" and know that the party excludes them!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

A bigot!? Are you descriminating based on race or religious values!?!?!? If no, then select who you want!. It's your party, if the host isn't happy the party will suck, and not be worth it!. Been there, invite who you want!. Stepping on toes is inevitable, besides the more people the harder it is to control!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

This is the story of life!. We are constantly worrying about stepping on toes, embarassing someone, not being included, hurting someone's feelings!.

I think we finally reach a stage in life, hopefully, where we do what we want and try our best!. We can't keep everybody happy all the time!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You have options!.
Gather some friends and say "lets go to my house!"
Have someone spread the word that you're having a party!.
It's up to you whether it's ok to offend someone!. After all you're the one doing the offending, right!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

You don't HAVE to make any one or other moral decision!. It depends on what kind of person you want to be and what kind of moral consequences you want to face!. There's reasons to do and not to do most things!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
