[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think that's unreasonable given that they are providing some food and presumably planning, setting up, and cleaning up. You can always decline to participate. You can always volunteer to plan the next one and change how it's done.[/quote]

I agree. $20 is not going to cover a couple of burgers with all fixings, sides, as well as the multiple drinks most adults will consume. [/quote]

First of all, most adults eat one burger. Maybe with cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and a few sauces. Even if you're buying the most expensive organic meat and making huge patties, that's probably $5 a burger. Add a $1.50 brioche bun (I wouldn't but this is what some cost). Toppings, negligible, but say you buy it ALL at the farmers market and the condiments are absurd. Another $2.50. That's not even $10. Not saying that the tables/chairs/ice/etc... don't have costs, but OP did not say these things were rented.

If someone is setting up the party they can ask for help.

I personally would NEVER charge at this scale of event. I may want to purchase the meat and make some food and grill, but I would as for contributions of time or specific donations, not money. If you are in college trying to organize something or young adults, or in a different socio-economic bracket I get it. But what OP describes does strike me as odd.
