There are many times when it is ok. If they ask you to then yeah of course. If you don't really know the people then no. If it is family then I would take food because my family likes to have everyone to bring food and in that case it is ok. If you are going to a friends house i would say not because if they invite you over for dinner then that means they want to treat you, you shouldn't treat them
You can bring a variety of finger foods such as mini sliders, vegetable or fruit platters, chips and dip, or a cheese and charcuterie board. Alternatively, you can also bring a homemade dish like mini quiches, stuffed mushrooms, or buffalo chicken dip.
When you are invited to a party at someone's home, it is polite to ask whether there is anything that you can bring. If the host suggests that you could bring a dessert or prepare a dish, go ahead.
yes, you should bring unopened food if it is packaged (you shouldnt bring open chips,soda,cookies,etc)
It's always proper to bring a gift for your hosts to a party where you will receive free food, drink or entertainment, however small.
Avoid foods with mayonaise if you have food in the sun. Bring fresh fruit like watermelon.
What one should bring to a company Christmas party depends on where the party is being held. If no one specific person is holding it and it is being held at the company office, then the company itself might be providing food and drink, so it wouldn't be necessary to bring anything. If it is being held at someone's house then it might be a good idea to ask the host what one should bring. Party food such as chips/ crisps or chocolate or wine would be good items to bring for example.
You'd have to be friends with them to find out. Its not really an appropriate question for this site.
Where the party is, when the party starts/ends, whether or not to bring food/booze, etc
If you want your guests not to bring gifts to the birthday party, you can simply put "No gifts, please" as a foot note on the birthday invitation.
* Unless the host or hostess stressed that someone bring food then cut through the confusion and bring a nice bottle of red or white wine.
Ask! But if you're not sure and can't ask, leave it for the host. You can also offer to help clean up after the party and see if they'd like to return it to you.
You can phone the host or hostess and ask them if they want you to bring any food. Generally people go to such parties with their own alcohol (if they are not minors.) Of course you will have to wear a costume if requested by the person having the party.
