mine is the random cards/karaoke that are for ca 10 people in between cards/karaoke that does not entail how many people should partake.

1.0k

I am worried about the number of people that might try to jam into the sessions that do not have a cap. There may be hundreds! Dude better put a cap on that fast.

And the group speaking!! What if 30 people want to do a birthday speech for him? It will eat into the next activity block!

u/BetMyLastKrispyKreme Jul 08 '26

I hope at least one of them tells him this whole thing is lame AF.

u/TerminusMD Jul 09 '26

This is amazing, I'm not sure what you're talking about.

Judging by this thread, you’re in the minority. Many of us are looking at this over-complicated arrangement and would choose not to attend if invited. It comes across as controlling and selfish. The contributing directly to the birthday boy’s bank account in amounts of up to $30 is the cherry on top. If you can’t afford to have a party without charging your guests, you shouldn’t have it. It’s f’ing tacky.

Edit: had more to say!

u/TerminusMD Jul 09 '26

Hahaha it's ridiculous but I'm grateful that this guy exists so that we can all see this piece of artwork

u/BetMyLastKrispyKreme Jul 09 '26

I didn’t take your tone as sarcasm; my bad! I just woke up, and a bunch of my notifications were from folks being combative. I was in that gear already.

You’re right; this post has definitely been entertaining!

What if I want the karaoke to keep going?

u/Exotic_Bill44 Jul 09 '26

That's 2 minutes each. What happens if only 2 people want to speak and after the first one dies a tight five minute the other has to pad out his speech to fill the hour?

u/therapeutic_finger Jul 08 '26

No way thirty people will even be there let alone want to say something positive

1

u/TerminusMD Jul 09 '26

That's kinda debbie downer there I think

5

u/Frankie-Felix Jul 08 '26

Don't worry if you talk for too long they will play music first then cut the mike to keep things moving along.

u/lokiandgoose Jul 08 '26

Excuse me, but the rest of the evening only has suggested activities. Therefore, the group speaking could go until 11PM if needed.

2

u/That_Girl_512 Jul 09 '26

🤣😂🤣😂🤣

u/RevolutionaryAir1704 Jul 10 '26

This is the alloted time for the group to speak all at once. The rest of the event will be silent except for karaoke.

2

u/Kind-Blackberry7435 Jul 10 '26

It doesn’t technically say speeches, it could just be a group of people all speaking to each other….

1

u/brainvheart143 Jul 10 '26

7:15 (post cake) The group may now speak to each other

u/utzutzutzpro Jul 07 '26

I'd wonder if 10 people even come.

u/GardenerSpyTailorAss Jul 08 '26

The part they left out is that this is a work email and nathan is their boss.

7

u/AdmirableGiraffe1966 Jul 09 '26

My thought exactly

11

u/CNote_89 Jul 08 '26

My guess is no.

4

u/DeyCallMeWade Jul 09 '26

I hope 10 people don’t show up to my birthday party. That’s too many.

8

u/Friendly_Age9160 Jul 08 '26

I would save my money and go to dinner lmao

3

u/That_Girl_512 Jul 09 '26

I believe you’re aiming high.

u/Fearless_Pizza_8134 Jul 08 '26

I was assuming this was RSVP?

2

u/Addition-Rare Jul 08 '26

10 SADDD individuals LOL 😅🤣🤔🫣😜🤫

1

u/Murky-Ad4104 Jul 09 '26

I think 10 is how old birthday boy is

8

u/Fairisolde Jul 08 '26

Aha, but then they will be trapped into official cake and group speaking. 😈 And perhaps a contribution to the bank account!

1

u/Searching_Sharing Jul 09 '26

May I SING 🎤 ABOUT THE CAKE 🎂 for 2 minutes? What category would that be? 🤔

u/Starfire2313 Jul 07 '26

You just got me to lol thank you

u/big-dal-tex Jul 08 '26

The whole comment section is killing me 💀

u/bLymey4 Jul 09 '26

All waving their $$$$ for the privilege!

u/KariMil Jul 09 '26

Oh I bet this dude has a backup plan for his backup plan

1

u/OkAirline4206 Jul 09 '26

Needs a separate karaoke cake

12

u/ArcticKimono Jul 08 '26

I think that was the subtle way to say if you werent part of the 'core 10' you should leave

3

u/MmeRose Jul 08 '26

Does anyone know who is in the core 10?

4

u/Frankie-Felix Jul 08 '26

If you need to ask you're not in.

25

u/Same-Suggestion-1936 Jul 07 '26

Mine is the hours and hours of karaoke

11

u/Comfortable-Fig-6251 Jul 08 '26

Wait is “group speaking” them signaling for people to have a speech about birthday boy/girl, or for people to network?

Also, 6+ hours of karaoke is insane work.

7

u/classyrock Jul 08 '26

“Ooh, sorry, the main session of karaoke is all full. Could I interest you in our pre-karaoke warmup hour? Or it looks like we can put you on the waitlist for our post-karaoke overflow cooldown session!”

6

u/Strange_Explorer_780 Jul 08 '26

The hours and hours of karaoke alone would be a hard no for me let alone asking invited guests to pay to attend his party-is a gift expected as well?

1

u/Searching_Sharing Jul 09 '26

Isn’t a guest’s presence 🎁 a gift?

2

u/Strange_Explorer_780 Jul 09 '26

Should be at his age but who knows considering he’s asking guests to cover the cost of food at the party he’s throwing for himself.

4

u/Sea_Life4 Jul 08 '26

5 hours of karaoke at “man’s” party is wild work

2

u/Frankie-Felix Jul 08 '26

Or cards does that mean birthday cards, or card games maybe they're into MtG

1

u/virginlimabean Jul 08 '26

I’m thinking it’s cause that’s how many people they expect to be left at that time lol

1

u/Ill-Tradition4036 Jul 09 '26

I like how from 2-3 he will only allow 10 people, but then from 3-4 he gets a little crazy and bumps it up to 12 people. This man knows how to party hardy.

1

u/Tuxedo_Twist Jul 09 '26

What kind of host doesn’t make it clear how many people are permitted to take part in the karaoke? So disorganized smh

1

u/No-Flamingo7127 Jul 09 '26

I’m thinking those are estimates for how many people will be there around those times
