Many time we go to hotel on certain occasion, may be to celebrate our birthday or just get together as such. I am sure we order the items seeing our budget. What will you feel if some of your friends or relative pass a wrong remark on the items you have order? I know such situation you must have faced also and under such circumstances we have to remain quite rather then to say anything to them.

If among very close friends and maybe some family and relatives, I'd probably make fun of their comments so that we could all laugh together about it, but if just among acquaintances, I'd probably feel bad but just say nothing of it. I guess I'll just have to respect their opinion on the matter rather than make a big deal out of it and ruin the mood of everybody.

Sometimes, if we could when the situation calls for it, we just have to be the better man. We cannot always please anybody but at least we should try not to make others feel sad or miserable too. It's like the saying, if you can't help at all, then don't add to the trouble.

Hey that's the spirit we should have instead of firing back on them under such situation it is always better to give them back with smile so that no seriousness will occur and party goes smoothly

We understand it my friend but what about those people who does not understand it. I think such people wants to create the problem and put some sort of stop to on going happy movement

Just go with the flow.you cannot do nothing abouit it since they already ordered the food and thinking that it is a party it will definitely be awkward if you let them know that you are upset with it.in times like it must be us that needs to adjust and just understand the situation.

This is the best way to behave since it is we who have invited them for the party. Keeping mum is the best way and saying thanks to such people for the suggestion will be more suitable answer under such circumstances

Yes I agree with you in this regards, but what to do we have to remain mum since they are our friend we have no other solution as such.

I'll feel bad about it, especially if it's my birthday and I'm the one paying for it. But I think I wouldn't show them how I feel, or even hint that I felt bad. I don't want to ruin the festive mood just because someone made a remark about not liking the food.

That what every one has to keep in mind and during such occasion to pin point the mistake or wrong choice is not good. One must appreciate the food and enjoy the fuction

Of course I will be sorry if they don't like what I have ordered.
We cannot avoid such incident to happen and sometimes this give us indifferent feeling towards them.
This happened with me and other relatives in an occasion.
My friends always ask the majority where they want to have dinner to avoid having issues after.
So, I can say that this incident never happened with me and my friends.

Such incidence are common and I am sure everyone face it. But under such situation to remain mum is the best solution. Even when I happen to arrange the party I always asked other what dishes/menu I should keep

I think it is rude to comment something that will hurt our feelings. We would like to celebrate special occasions with our loved ones and hoping to have a great time being together. So the least they could do is appreciate the time pent in preparing for it and also cherish the memories created on that event.

Even we knew that commenting something negative on such occasion that too on food is very bad manner, but what to do when there are such people do live in this society who always think and consider that they are great, who does not care for other people feeling and only those people who have not power of appreciating other will act this way.

Yes this will be the best way to do. Lets enjoy the party as we have plan with friends and family members.If we think too much about them then surely party won't be that much enjoyable as we have planned

Just ignore those kinds of people. They are not worth your time. There will come a time that they'd be knocked out from their senses.

I have tried ordering for occasions and gatherings and the best thing to do is to order more than 3 kinds of dish. It's for them to have options in case they don't like 1 of those being served. I know people who doesn't like sweet dishes and some who doesn't eat meat.. so it's good to just have various but of course that would still meet your budget. :)

I also do the same things I order more than 3 to 4 dishes as per their choice or after asking them what they prefer to eat. But even then sometime there is a chance of such incidence may crop up.

I really wouldnt care at all. I would tell them what I thought. I would tell them that I could only afford a certain amount and I like the food that I ordered and really its none of their business what I eat and to worry about what they are eating themselves instead of what I am.

There are very few people like you shaggin who will surely tell them that they are giving the such food base on their budget or they can afford such food. But in the party most of the people remain quite and do not reply as they are their guest. It is the person who have come for the party must understand about it

In such situation I will prefer to neglect what they say, let them talk let's enjoy the party that is being arranged by us.

Hi friend, most of the time i will allow my friends are guests to order the food, in very rare causes i will order the food. At this situation i will give importance to my friends and relatives favorite things, i am not interested in forcing others to eat my favorite items, so i don't face such kind of situation in my life

Even my husband do the same thing if he takes us for dinner along with one or two friends and their family, but if we have party as such it is me who planned the menu first and it is being common for every one

yes, for me i'd rather remain quite, that is why for me before inviting or going to places like that with my friends, I'll make sure i have that enough budget so as the enjoyment with being with them won't be interrupted.

There is a saying always tries to spread your legs seeing the size of the bed-sheet. It is ok on our part but even those who join us as guest must understand other also and must be happy with what serve them or have made the arrangement for their food

because we don`t want to hurt the feeling of our friends that`s why we remain quite or just dont talk about it.. it`s just a small thing to talk about and may come to a point that you two will argue so you just remain quite instead of making comments out of it because it may cause damaged to your friendship..

That's what we all feel and think when we called some one as guest or friend for party. We always want them to be happy and must have the good entertainment plus should enjoy the party.
At this point of view if we start arguing with the friend we all knew that our party may be spoiled so better remain quite and say next time will take their suggestion before ordering any food for the party
