[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would never in a million years think that an evite would mean that I didn't have to actually pay for the dinner. I'm like PP I guess, I must run in different circles.[/quote] Depends on the language in the eVite. I see now that part of the problem is that OP and her DH are West Coasters. West Coasters are way less formal, don't do thank you notes, don't host dinner parties at their homes like Easterners. It's a culture/age/money clash.[/quote] Um, that's ridiculous. I'm from the West Coast, and I think I'm the only person in my social circle who writes thank you notes (on personal stationary!), and dinner parties are actually the preferred get-together (dining al fresco in the beautiful weather). Anyway, OP, I have a friend who did something similar to what you initially planned recently (born and bred east coaster btw!) and it was a hit. Basically, the evite was for a "party" at her house where she served dessert and drinks. As for the "dinner" portion of the evening, there was a little note at the bottom of the invitation that said something like: " Before the party we'll be having drinks dinner at _________, if you want to join. The pre-fixe menu is $35.00. Please let me know if you want to attend and I'll add you to the reservation! Hope you can make it!"[/quote]
