[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am fascinated by the discussion because I have always found such events tedious, both attending and putting them on. I wish I didn't. I just don't feel competent at it. [/quote]

+1  I don't like going to dinner parties.  I'd rather just go out to dinner with other couples, so that we can all relax, eat what we want, and there's enough backround noise to make up for lulls in the conversation.

I always feel guilty going to dinner parties because of all of the work the host puts into it. It makes me feel guilty if I don't like the food (I never say I don't like it) or if I'm not in a gregarious mood.

I'm not a big fan of games either, especially if there are a bunch of rules that no one really knows except one person.

OP, does it have to be dinner parties?  If you want to reestablish friendships with couples, why don't you start with just going out to dinner.  And then once you feel like you have a better sense of what they like/don't like and you have a comfort level, then have a dinner party at your house.  If you start with the dinner party at your house, people might feel stiff and uncomfortable because you haven't reached that level of friendship. [/quote]
