Neighbour was having a loud party Sunday night. I could hear music and people partying loudly until 1130pm. I normally would just let it be, but with a sick kid I knocked on the door and asked if they could just take it down a bit. No existing relationship here, first time talking to this neighbor.
They eventually stopped at 1230am, but I did feel guilty. It appeared to be some sort of post wedding party, and this neighbor has never caused any issues in 8 years I’ve been here.
I want to make peace and explain that I normally wouldn’t mind if they partied ( if it wasn’t for my sick kid trying to rest). Any recommendations to open the convo? Would some sort of food peace offering be appropriate?

I think it would be fine if you just come to them. You can buy a chocolate if you want. But most important is to just go to them again, say ,, I am sorry guys – I do not mind parties normally it was just a very extreme and a difficult situation for me so I had to take action”.
Also I would suggest you will be very CAREFUL about partying yourself from now on. If I was in your shoes and wanted to do a house party I would immediately invite those neighbours. Because otherwise they might mistake you for a person with double standards, unjust one.
I feeel you. I am afraid of confronting people. But every time I force myself I discover something new and often more contact with neighbour is better for the relationship.
