[quote=Anonymous]I think once people in your peer group start buying homes, getting married, and having kids, the "chip in" parties stop. The chip-in parties make sense when most people in the group don't have a lot of disposable income, and pooling expenses makes sense so that you can get together socially for a meal. However, once people become more financially stable, it is nice to be able to actually host a party. I agree with PPs that there is a sense of entitlement to having expensive experiences that people use to justify having guests pay. You can be a host to an inexpensive, small dinner party that is really lovely and fun, where you truly are a gracious host. Some of the best dinner parties I've been to have been the most informal over pizza or Chinese ordered in by the host.[/quote]
