[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What we do: invite people all the time.. Just email all the people you know with something like "Hey, we're going to Butler's Orchard on Saturday to pick strawberries. We'll be there around 10am. You're welcome to join!"

and even a 10% response rate and you wont' be alone.

Also planning to start this for backyard cookouts.. Just email people to say we're going to be grilling int eh backyard on Saturday, and feel free to stop by. The trick is to ahve these things at a day/time when people are lacking in other options. A lot of families with young kids have nothing to do on Saturdays... whereas most peopel are too tired/busy on a Tuesday evening.[/quote]

OP here.  I do pretty much what you are describing in terms of inviting people to meet up with us for an activity/outing we are already planning to do.  Occasionally I get a yes response, most of the time a no.  But I can keep on trying.

I haven't done much in terms of entertaining at home, but I have noticed that every time we do entertain at home and invite people, almost everyone we invite RSVPs yes.  However, I have yet to get any reciprocal invitations, either to their homes or to some activity or outing out.  Meaning, they never ask us to join them at the zoo or the park or whatever.
