Heres the story... We were invited to a party not long ago, it was to be 20 couples or so aging in range from mid 20's to mid 40's. The hosts are early 30's. Sounded like our crowd, so we RSVP. It gets to be a couple days before the party and we hear from the hosts (had been chatting regularly the 2 weeks prior also) that they decided to cancel the party because everyone who were invited had backed out except us and one other couple. We were shocked to say the least. Being the person I am(MR.) I had to ask why. Well it turns out that when everyone asked about sleeping arrangements (we hadn't, since we only live 15 minutes away) they were told space wasn't a problem due to them having a 25 room house and 14 of those were bedrooms:eek: The whole time we had chatted, they never once led us to believe that they were that well to do. We thought of them as just another very nice couple, and still do. After a bit of chatting we just figured that people felt intimidated or outclassed, or I'm sure someone here might have a better word to describe it. What do you all think? Would you like to know ahead of time about these things? How would of you felt if you didn't know and showed up to see a 13,000 square foot house? After me and the Mrs. talked about it, we decided that if we knew ahead of time that we might of declined the invite.
