Yeah -- THAT would be what the neighbors are talking about. LOL!!!

(Look Jed -- the Fun's are having another party tonight. I bet it's a swinger party! They're parking on the YARD!!!)

Next week

(Jed -- the Fun's are at it again ... oh wait ... never mind. No one is parked on the yard. And they're just some nekkid people on the porch, but that's it. Whew!)

WE are having our first house party next week. We are really excited about it. I think the first "rule" is to pick the guest list carefully. We only invited people that we know are respectful, discrete, and fun. Interestingly, many of the participants know each other.

We will have three designated play areas and lots of party favors (condoms, lube, wipes, etc.).

I can't wait to write about this in my blog!!!

If you tell your neighbors birthday party they may want to come.

How about an old Amway party? I am now completely turned off.

I don't believe that I'm the only Zappa fan that got that joke^^^! That's funny right there!

Our rules are pretty basic:

1.) No means NO!

2.) You are not obligated to do anything other than be polite.

3.) If you see a door closed, leave it closed and move on.

4.) Condoms, baby wipes, lube, towels, robes, and such are provided for your convenience - feel free to use them.

5.) If you use those items, please dispose of them properly (robes and towels in the hamper, condoms and their wrappers in the trash.)

6.) BYOB and a snack for others to enjoy. (It doesn't have to be anything fancy - just bring what you like to snack on.) We provide soft drinks, bottled water, ice, and several mixers. If you have a favorite drink or mixer, ask us or bring it with you.

7.) If you have any ideas, suggestions, comments, complaints, or demands for payment please speak up. We want to hear from our guests. If something isn’t working out, let us know. If you particularly liked something, say so. If you have an idea to move things along, a suggestion for a theme party, or just a comment on the color of our drapes, please say something. We can’t fix something if we don’t know it’s broken, and we can’t run with a theme if we don’t know what that theme is.

In our invitations we mention that we do allow smoking in our home, but I have several small air filters running around the house to help take care of that. During the summer, our doors and windows are open and the fans are running, so it’s not a factor. We’ve never had a complaint about smoke.

We live out in a pretty rural area, so neighbors aren’t really a concern. I’ve often wondered about this anyway. Just because there are several cars parked in our driveway, that means we’re all naked and having sex with each other? Well, we are, but how can they tell that by the number of cars in our driveway?

One small note about the music: If you have "newbies" make it mellow. Our first house party the host liked that screamy "new" rock crap. It makes both of us uncomfortable. The host cranked the music to the stops to cover any sexual screaming I guess, but it made for a very unpleasant evening. Neither one of us could relax and we ended up leaving early. I am not saying that everyone should conform to my taste in music, but it is better to keep it at a low volume, and if possible mellow, you want the guests to feel relaxed not stressed out as the screamy stuff tends to do for most people.Just our conclusion/opinion.

[BiloxiCouple]

The unfortunate thing about music is that most people don't agree. If it's too loud, then someone wants it lower. If it's lower then someone wants it louder. If it's hip-hop then someone wants country and vice versa. Then there is the drunk that wants to play DJ

In our experience, mellow blues in the background works just fine

[MrkLin]

I solved the music dilemma by asking everyone to bring their favorite party CDs. I rip them into iTunes, then have the couple select up to 5 tunes from that CD to play during the party. It gets people involved, and they have a say in the music. The only exception to that rule is our annual Parrothead Party, where the music is all Jimmy Buffett - all the time...

[Cpl2share]

True, it is very rare that more than two people agree on favorite music, but the Blues or jazz is usually mutually inoffensive to all. Same with volume, yep there will always be that one guy (usually) who insists that the only way music is good is if it is shaking the neighbors windows, but there again: keeping it low enough that you can actually have a conversation, or if you have to explain it to "that guy" hear what your partner is asking you to do, is going to make things a little more comfortable for everyone. Of course this is just how we feel and run things. If you don't like it, you don't have to come to our house and we don't have to come too yours.

[MrkLin]

We haven't had any 'volume issues' yet, but I agree with you totally. The only time the music gets cranked up is if someone wants to dirty dance to a particular tune. You'd be surprised at how many women suddenly tell me they wish we had a brass pole in the living room when 'Black Velvet' by Alannah Myles comes on. They love to dance dirty to that song...
