Let's pretend that you're in Iowa or Missouri. I'm in Illinois. I've decided to invite you to a Deaf Christmas party that is taking place in Illinois. I would like to know if I should be obligated to offer you my couch or futon to sleep on for the night after party?

If you're coming from out of state, would you ask me if I had a place to sleep for you or will you wait and see if I'm going to offer you a place to sleep? Figuring that if I'm not going to offer a place to sleep, you may decide to not bother attending the party.

If I'm unable to offer a couch/futon for you to sleep on, but would like you to come to party, should I offer to pay a portion or full cost of hotel for you?

It would be a different story if you weren't invited, but want to go anyway.

I guess my question is what would you think of a person who invited you to drive from out of state to a party, but won't offer you a place to sleep?
 
A person that invites you to an out of state party and doesn't offer you a place to sleep is no friend.
 
really?! if you dont have a place for your freind to sleep that YOU invited - then you have no manners if you dont discuss this at the same moment you give out the invitation.
 
If you can offer a place to crash, go ahead. If you can't, make that clear in your invitation.

The guest can decide whether or not it's worth the trip.
 
forr example:
I have a lovely couch to offer

but only to women who are very nice, very helpful, very rich ... :laugh2: :D


ok, i joke! :laugh2:
(but not so much ....)
 
My couch folds out into a sofabed, but is comfy to sleep while still as a couch.

People are welcome to crash. Guys can have the couch. Cute girls are invited to come snuggle up in my king size bed with me. :naughty:
 
Definitely think if you're inviting someone out of state to attend a party you want them to be at, offering them a place is the polite thing to do. If you just offer and aren't in the "OMG YOU HAVE TO BE HERE" mode, just stating it in the invitation as Reba suggested is good.
