[quote=Anonymous]If you're the host of an on-going social function, like a weekly book club or Bible study, then I think it's fair that preparing the food shouldn't be all on your every week just because you're kind enough to open your home to the group. You may be the only one with a living room able to comfortably seat every one, but others can take ownership of the activity by taking turns with the food, facilitating discussion, etc. But if you're throwing a dinner party, then you are responsible for the food and beverages. Most people will bring a bottle of wine or offer to bring a dessert, but the host of a dinner party or a brunch needs to have prepared enough food to feed all the guests - any contributions by guests are just a bonus and it should be fine for them to show up without a dish. Otherwise, call your get together something else - a dinner party means you're making dinner and throwing a party. You are, not your guests. [/quote]
