The Tolkiens were helpfully transparent about likely outcomes at their parties.

@rogward ma'am, your wheelbarrow has arrived
@rogward Let's not forget Pistols at Dawn!
@rogward still seems pretty vague to me considering the average Tolkien party doesn't return home for months, traveling together through mountains, massive caves, enchanted forests and war-torn countryside whilst battling orcs, dragons, evil wizards and massive spiders.
@rogward "R.S.V.P. if not coming."
@rogward After all the doomscrolling, I needed this!🤣🤣😂😂
@rogward @briankrebs I died laughing. Guess I’ll stay until daybreak.

@rogward Did you ever see that marvelous film with Anthony Hopkins and Debra Winger called Shadowlands? I love that film. It is perfection.

@DrStip

My daughter was furious when she saw this the other day - just AFTER she ordered her wedding invitations ..... 🤣 🤣

@rogward IIRC the Long Awaited Party in TLOTR also featured wheelbarrows for the comatose.
@rogward What a super find!
I shan't be surprised if that thoughtful touch was Mrs T.
Midnight carriages for the stately elves, ambulances for the roistering dwarves, wheelbarrows for Saruman and his scurvy lot, hearses for the orcs.
@rogward Not a bad idea for an invitation..
@rogward well now I know what's going on my #wedding invites
@rogward most of us can only wish to be this cool :)

@rogward "It started recreational
It ended kinda medical
It started in the vestibule
It ended in the hospital"
