This...and then offer to bring a veg alternative.[/quote]

I am not vegetarian but I host a TON of dinner parties and I eat fish only myself (though to make things easier I just eat whatever when we go to someone's house). The invitees who are vegetarian almost always respond like this:

"Thanks for asking! Actually, Fred and I are vegetarian but as long as there are plenty of vegetable side based dishes, we'll be fine."

I don't think you should have to be apologetic or conciliatory about being a vegetarian, but this is just what I see most people do. As the host, I would NEVER make them resort to eating side dishes for dinner. If I'm having a party, I'll make two complementary main dishes (some people are unsatisfied by a veggie main dish) with one being vegetarian. If I have them over to dinner solo I'll just make a vegetarian dish (and then have something meaty on the side for my carnivorous husband). [/quote]

Thank you PP!  This is absolutely perfect!
I appreciate you taking the time![/quote]
