[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, the logistics of dinner out and then party back at your house are odd anyway. I would be annoyed at having to drive/metro to dinner, then get back to your house. Why does the party have to be in 2 locations? I think you should just do a later evening cake/snack/drinks at your house and call it a day.

Are you going to get everything set for the party before dinner and then go back to the house and make guest stand around and wait while you scramble to open bottles of wine, heat food, cut the cake, etc?

It is clear by your initial plan that you must not entertain a lot and have not thought through the logistics.

You are absolutey right.  We do not entertain much.  [b]When we do entertain it's always a homemade brunch for friends at our place, which has always been well received because I always make lots of food and make sure it is presented beautifully. [/b] I have no experience with any other kind of entertaining.

With the exception of one couple, we also haven't had these friends over to our house before.  These are all newish friends, as DH and I are newer to the area.  Maybe that would be too much--having them all over for the first time for a birthday celebration?  That's why I was thinking the restaurant idea might be better.  I am worried about what they will think when they come to our house.[/quote]

I think a birthday brunch would be lovely, and inexpensive to put together as well.  [/quote]
