[quote=Anonymous]OP - if potlucks are common with the people you are getting together with, then it won't come across as rude.

My friends are all pretty informal. We do potlucks all the time. I also go out to eat with groups of friends and for birthdays pretty often and never once have I had my meal paid for, we always chip in.

It really just matters what is seen as acceptable with the people who you are friends with. If I got your evite for a birthday dinner for your husband I would assume Dutch and if you asked to for a potluck, I would be glad to bring a dish. Our get togethers are really more about being together and celebrating and not about breaking rules of being a socialite. Knowing you are unemployed would make my circle of friends even more willing to pitch in rather than judge you for not putting out big bucks.

Go with what feels right. Many people on here are very rich and the rich entertain and interact and prioritize very differently than the non-rich. If the people you are entertaining are non-rich, you will be fine.

And a little party at your house is just as great as a dinner at a restaurant - you actually get to chat more with other people there. [/quote]
