[quote=Anonymous]We have this situation and have figured out a decent solution. It definitely takes advance planning and a group that is happy to cooperate. We basically assign dinners - and they can be in or out. So for 2 dinners out, two cousins, brother and I will “host,” as we can most easily afford it. My other brother and SIL will “host” a dinner in with a lot less expense. I usually take the lead and certainly don’t reference money. I’ll ping my cousins and brother and say, ‘it would be great if we could have two nice nights out. How about the brother and split the bill on Thursday night ams cousins, you do Sunday night?” And ‘Little Brother - I’m working on meal planning for the family gathering. Would you and Larla be up for being in charge of dinner at our house on Friday night? We can get XX to help, too. I’m happy to get wine for the night if you tell me what kind.”[/quote]
