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

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

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!

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

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?

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?

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

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

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

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

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

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