[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no issue with people not bringing anything.  I don't find it rude at all, people get busy and if I invited them I plan on providing a nice meal and drinks. When invited to others, I always offer to bring something and if they say no need to, I still bring a bottle of wine or flowers, but that's just me.  [/quote]

Actually, I don't mind if they don't get anything...but I know that it is rude. That is the reason that I am forgiving if my guests do not bring something but I myself will always bring something as a guest.

Close friends? If I am up to it and not feeling particularly worn down, I will usually discuss the menu with them and make a dish that they request. I actually make enough so that my friends can freeze some for their own use later and serve some for dinner.

We also have a group of twelve friends that do potluck monthly. The hostess will set the menu and people pick what they will make. Hostess only provides the carb,  drinks, 1 appetizer, 1 entrée and 1 dessert.  The rest of the meal (salads, appetizers, entrees and desserts) are provided by the guests. We have standardized the quantity (1 disposable aluminium foil chafing dish) and all leftovers gets divvied up and taken by all the guests. The best part of the potlucks are the leftovers frankly.
