[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always respond to the email and mention what I'm planning to bring so they have a heads up. Usually a bottle of wine and a dessert (either fruit salad or a cake).[/quote] I sure as hell hope you *ask* if dessert would be appreciated. I make dessert, and I do thoughtful dinners with planned menus. If someone shows up with whatever dessert and now I have to put it out on the table, I can't tell you how annoying this is. And it's doubly worse when they just bought dessert somewhere and bring it in the packaging. When my friends email and say "what can I bring? dessert, side dish? alcohol" (the emails are always a variation of that) I say "No food, please, we are good. You don't need to bring anything, but I wont' say no to wine!" or something like that. [/quote]
