It always makes sense to bring what you really need for yourself – as a contribution…and selfless gesture of course. I used to be a huge volume eater, and the biggest problem I had at your party was that there wasn’t enough of the low calorie/healthy things for me to get the amount I really needed to take the edge off my appetite so that I could eat reasonable amounts of the things I really loved. I have a client who brings, in self defense, this beautiful tray of grilled veggies that no one else ever wants to take the time to make. She arranges them in diagonals on a platter – a stunning presentation, and is asked to bring it regularly. She has established a reputation for herself as the veggie-meister and is essentially protected in the process.
