My dear Minerva,
Be that as it may, if you want to have a party, call it a party, not a “collation.” I've already heard rumors that female invitees are ordering tea dresses and white gloves, at least the ones who are past the first bloom of youth. The only one I can imagine looking elegant instead of foolish in such a get up is Fleur Weasley, likely because she's French and not from the West Country.
As for me, I may well come simply to observe the chaos when someone spikes the punch with your “selection of alcohol.”
Severus
