[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. The amount is not relevant. It’s who is doing the inviting. It’s a good thing my grandmother is dead, or this would kill her. Manners are dead and the responses on here prove it.[/quote]

Etiquette evolves and what was standard practice back in grandma's time changes.  I wouldn't blink at the thought of paying part of a birthday celebration at a restaurant.  [/quote]

This standard practice has not, in fact, changed.  It is ok to forgo finger bowls, but it is not ok to "invite" your guests to pay for your party.[/quote]

The reality of how people behave has nothing to do with the correct etiquette.  Which has not changed.

Poor behavior doesn’t change etiquette.[/quote]

Right, it is rude. I agree with you; it is not proper etiquette.

***And yet it will keep happening. So accept or decline, and plan accordingly.****[/quote]
