[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friends (three adult siblings) do a big pool party at their parents' compound outside the city. They probably get about 100-120 to show up.

They provide all the food and drinks, games, décor, entertainment (giant inflatable slip n slide rental!), DJ + speaker system but ask people to contribute $50 each to fund the event + professional housecleaning the next day.

No one ever questions the requested contribution because its a big production and everyone is thankful for them hosting. [/quote]

But obviously the money request goes out with the invitation so everyone knows what to expect. I'm sure they'd get a different reactioni f they invited everyone and then at the last minute said "Hey, we'd like everyone to chip in $50".

OP, you cannot invite people to a party and then later decide to charge them. I think it's also a little late to turn it in to a potluck, so just buy cheaper food. But next time you can put whatever stipulations you want in the invite. [/quote]
