Question

For Shabbat, for all the reasons
Topic: Shabbat meals
Question: A meal at friends without a Shabbat atmosphere – to join or not?

Answer

Shalom and blessings 

It is strongly not recommended. 

At such a meal it is very difficult to keep Shabbat, and without noticing one can stumble into desecrating Shabbat. 

For example: a phone call, smoking, heating food in a manner forbidden on Shabbat, and many other problems.
