would you go?

[spedrunner]

to an oatmeal party?
lol

I absolutely LOVE oatmeal and mixing all kinds of goodies in it. I Wanted to do a brunch with an oatmeal bar!  thoguth it would be easy and yummy
We would be making cute little glitter ornaments for the holidays

Would you go to this?

Im doing it regardless, dorky or not, just curious

[CloudBee]

Well it's not an oatmeal party. It sounds like a holiday brunch/celebration, where you have an oatmeal bar.

Not weird.

I would attend.

[Jalapeñomel]

Just call it brunch

[dexteroni]

lol. Just don't call it an oatmeal party and you'll be fine. Also, I've never been to a brunch that included a craft project.

[spedrunner]

no alcohol
just coffee/tea/juice

[isabel]

I like oatmeal.

[knx9211]

Wait, I need clarification - is it JUST oatmeal? Or brunch that includes an oatmeal bar?

[Muddled]

Ew. Oatmeal.

[bonquiqui]

Will you have bacon and fruit? Lol

[TrickyBob]

I would go if yogurt was provided as well

[cbwm1]

I would not go because:

1. I hate oatmeal
2. No alcohol
3. Oatmeal is disgusting

ETA - if you're having food other than the oatmeal, I might be able to overlook the no booze thing.

[spedrunner]

to clarify, It will be a girls craft day, we are making ornaments.
it will be around 11ish, so i thought an oatmeal bar would be fun

No alcohol bc i do not drink, i would not be opposed to making mimosas or something that may be fun , or kahlua for coffee, etc

I gotta be honest with you: I would not look forward to an oatmeal party since oatmeal is not my favorite food revolting. I would definitely look forward to a brunch with friends where there was an oatmeal bar in addition to other brunchy stuff. I would probably not do a glitter ornament, or if I did, I would likely leave it at your place since I detest glitter almost as much as I detest oatmeal. I'll leave the mess it makes at your house, thankyouverymuch. Will kids be at this brunch? Because that's the only explanation that's acceptable for crafts at a brunch.

[spedrunner]

ok and not glitter ornaments. Sequins

They are cute, just something fun and time consuming that is not super messy, so we can sit around, talk and obviousy eat oatmeal

yes, bacon will be one of the topping mix ins

[stellas]

I hate oatmeal and crafts and ornaments. I suck.

[dexteroni]

Hmm. The more you clarify, the less likely I would be to attend. lol. An oatmeal-only party is a no any time of the day. If you also had bacon (whole pieces, not as a topping), fruit, and mini quiches, then yes. But 11:00 is too late for any brunch that involves oatmeal. An 11:00 menu has to have equal amounts breakfast and lunch food, and no oatmeal.

And I'm still on the "no crafts at brunch" list, but if your friends are into it, then hey, go for it. I guess the same could be said for 11:00 oatmeal party, but for some reason it seems less likely that anyone would be into that. lol. Sorry sped.

[krystee]

I would be in for a brunch and in for craft day...but just oatmeal would not do it for me. The texture makes my stomach turn and 11 am is too late for an oatmeal-type meal.

[marylennox]

I would go if there were going to be other foods in addition to oatmeal, and no crafts. So just regular brunch, basically. lol.

And I would call it brunch, not an oatmeal party.

(Ok, maybe I would consider doing a craft. I just tend to have an automatic reaction when I hear the word "crafts" and it is generally "no." But I do like ornaments.)

[underwaterrhymes]

If you're my friend and you're inviting me to come over and make crafts, I'm coming to hang out with you and not for the crafts or the oatmeal.

Booze and oatmeal alternatives are always appreciated, but it's the company I'm there for.

This is all true. I would like to know that it's oatmeal, though, so I could eat first.

Yes this, except I do like both crafts and oatmeal. I would have fun with this and bring my own boozey add ins or mimosas. Make whole pieces of bacon, add fruit, and a couple other fixings (couple containers of cinnamon rolls, maybe?), and you'll be good to go.

I like sequins, but I do not like sequins.

I'm glad you clarified. You would have broken my heart

[sandyapples]

I love oatmeal. I would go.

[daisybuchannan]

Don't call it an oatmeal party and serve something additional for the oatmeal naysayers.

I love oatmeal though

[delawarejen]

Am I the only one who thought of Wilford Brimley? Because that's what I think when you say you're having an oatmeal party.

[mookie]

Look, I wouldn't go. Because on face value this sounds corny as hell. But when I stop and think about it, if I forced myself to go because it was being held by a really good friend, I might just really enjoy myself.

You know your friends. If this is the kind of thing that they would enjoy, then go for it. And have a blast!

No, you don't.

Those things do.

[dojo]

I think it's a very cute idea, but I also think you need at least one other option so people who aren't crazy about oatmeal can have something else. If you did an oatmeal bar you could also put out a big bowl of yogurt and it could be a granola bar too with all the same toppings.

ETA: in answer to your question, I would go, but no one I know ever hosts fun parties with crafts so it would be a complete novelty to me and I would think I finally found a friend who 'gets' me.
