[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You shouldn't go. You are too uptight and too cheap to go to any sort of group dinner. [/quote]

The guest of honor who planned the party and is possibly going to have their guess pay their own way is the only cheap person in this scenario.[/quote]

You can whine about this all you want but as a 38 yr old I have never once been invited to this kind of birthday party where someone else was paying for the group. It’s absolutely far and away the norm now for the group to split the check. [/quote]

It varies.   Maybe that is your age group or your set of friends.    
Regardless, the host issuing the invites should be clear with the guests.    IMO, there are always "takers" at these types of things and then the "givers" end up funding those extra apps, pre dinner drinks and that extra bottle of wine.

Just in November we hosted 12 people for a nice dinner out (range of lower and upper prices at a nice restaurant; some drinkers, some not) to celebrate a birthday.  A mix of family and friends of the birthday person (in their 20's).  We made sure to let the invitees know that they were our guests.[/quote]
