the ideal way to invite me to something is to gently lay down a full invite with everything i need to know - date, time, dress code - in my inbox, say 'just show up if you want', and then back away slowly. i probably will never respond but 2% chance i will just show up

if you give me an invite without the date, time, dress code, and an open invitation to just show up, then i will never respond and there will be a 0% chance i show up

someone did this with an invite to stay in a tiny castle in france for 2 weeks with a collection of random strangers he was also inviting from across the world and he gave me all the info i needed to know and so i just flew to france and showed up

I don't remember you. Maybe you were at that other castle party down the road.

Did you know this person before they invited you to the castle?

I have this image of you standing in your kitchen reading the invite, cocking your head, going into your bedroom, coming out 20 minutes later, and Ubering to the Air France terminal at the airport. Only you would do this more like most of us go out for coffee.

This reads like the setup to a netflix thriller/mystery film with a supernatural angle, culty vibes, and a scene late in act 1 where a dozen people in their late 20s early 30s enjoy a candlelit, wine-soaked dinner while the camera revolves slowly around the table behind them

Good to know, emailing my birthday invite rn. It’s going to be in a little Caesars in central Ohio. Dress code formal.

Sweet I guess I won't be seeing you between Tuesday Jan 31 - February 7th, Dress code is like Eyes Wide Shut meets Flesh Gordon with some Peaky Blinders sprinkled on top. It's just outside of Vancouver BC & Bring a friend so we have a third to play Yatzee with lol
