I did not feel sadness at the beginning of the books the first time I read it. I think I did feel a little bit more sadness the second time in the earlier parts of FOTR, but it was mainly during the Council of Elrond (when Frodo decides to take the ring) and when they are in the House of Tom Bombadil (when Frodo has the dream of the Grey Havens), but not during the Long Expected Party

Though I know what you are talking about
