Life is an adventure but Life doesn't come with user manuals for everything. School subjects do little to prepare us. Its no wonder we all need helpful advice sometimes. Blessings to you!

Invited to a Sip and Paint birthday party. Must pay $40.00 and bring your own wine/liquor. Is a gift expected or the right thing to do?
I have never heard of such a thing. It is something new everyone is doing or just something the friend with a birthday came up with. And as for painting, is it painting as in art, a canvas, or is it to be a group of people painting a room, the indoors or the outside of a house? You would have to ask the invitter to explain what the $40 is for. If the money is to cover the cost of materials, or paint and brushes etc. then I would think that the birthday gift is everyone volunteering their time plus money for paint. That is a unique twist on a birthday party. I have only heard of people moving who needed help with the move and asked friends, promising a pizza party afterwards with beer and pop that they cover the cost of and get the free help from friends. I believe if they are making it mandatory that you pay them $40. and its just painting art for fun, then they may be saying they don't want gifts other than the money. It may be the birthday person wants to pool together all the money to buy themselves one large expensive item. But again, the only way to know is to ask them. If it was me, I would be asking exacting what this party deal is and why the money, etc.
(Rating: 5) So it’s a birthday celebration. Two daughters gave it for their mother. Your given a blank canvass, a paint brush, a dollop of 4 paint colors on a paper plate and there’s a picture pre-pencil sketched on your canvas for you to copy the original picture which is up in a screen in front of the room. It’s a paint and sip party because you bring your own wine and paint the given picture. This will cost you $40.00. All in the HAPPY BIRTHDAY theme (I guess). What exactly did the daughters do for their mother. ??? Annnd Are they expecting you to bring a gift on top of the $40.00 fee to attend?
