[quote=Anonymous]I think you're running a big risk of offending people or making yourself look rude. You're saying you want to invite people and host--but you want them to pay their portion. That's not hosting or inviting. Even with evolving etiquette and social standards, there are enough people who are going to think this is just wrong. If you're going to go forward, it is better to address this is the evite I guess than have people show up unprepared for it. If you don't know how to say it, then perhaps this isn't something you should do. Have you thought of the logistics--is the restaurant going to allow separate checks for the various subparties you expect? Are you going to pay for it all and then ask for checks? Decide and make that clear. It's doubly insulting first to have people pay for their participation in a dinner you are "hosting" and then have it turn into a logistics nightmare. Just my opinion but I think you should either pay for everyone or just invite everyone to your house for cake, period. Or host a dinner at home, or a cocktail (appetizers, wine, cake) thing.[/quote]
