[quote=Anonymous]No. For me, formal means “hostess spends all the money, does all the work, expends all the time, and basically spends several hours preparing for a dinner that takes 30 minutes to eat, and then she has to clean up.” Since late last year, we’ve been hosting informal dinner every weekend or every other weekend, but everyone contributes. One of my friends makes great cocktails, one always gets something savory from Whole Foods, another likes to bring fruit and cheese, and I do a simple main course. (This weekend I made a whole wheat pasta Alfredo with green beans). I like sharing the burden of the entire meal, drinks, and dessert. I certainly don’t begrudge anybody who enjoys hosting formal dinners, but they stress me out! I love a much more informal model of hosting.[/quote]
