[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They may not realize it's important to you, or just think you like hosting.  I have a friend who has a huge gorgeous house and she hosts everything.  I know she doesn't care about reciprocating because when I've invited her to group dinners/ events at my house on a couple of different occasions she reached out to me to ask if she can host the event at her house, and then moved the entire party to her place.  If you host as often as you say your friends may just think that's your thing and you would rather host than attend.[/quote]

What? I don't even understand this. Like you invite people over and she says, "let's move everything to my house."? How rude.[/quote]

Sorry, just checked back in.  I get that it seems crazy on paper, but it's a completely shared friends group, her house is about 3 times the size of mine (and has a pool), and she has little kids and I don't.  So by hosting she doesn't have to find childcare, it's a more comfortable environment, and we're very good friends so she knows I won't take offense and I don't, and if for some reason it's important to me to keep it at my place I'll speak up (and I will).  I guess it's all dependent on a lot of behind the scenes stuff, most importantly the specific nature of the friendships involved.[/quote]
