I once piped for a Burns' supper that the Dallas Mensa club has every year. It's in someone's home. People were spread out through the house, so it was fairly informal, but it still had most of the Burn's Night components. They even had someone come in and do a whisky tasting. I was also at a real casual Burns' Night put on by a bunch of guys in Amarillo. They got the banquet hall of a resturant. I think they still managed to make it a pot luck. There was the toast to the Haggis, some piping. A lot of fun. I also play with the Fort Worth Scottish every year for a very formal Burn's night at a country club. You absolutley can have one at your house and definitly should invite any friends that will show up, but if it's a Burns' Night, then you really should focus on Burns. At least for the Address to the Haggis and one other poem. Otherwise it's not so much a Burns' Night as a get together. Even that, though, is something people don't do enough. Good luck. I hope you have a great evening with friends.
