[quote=Anonymous]Let's not be mean to the OP; she asked for advice and seems prepared to act on it.  Good for her.   OP, I'm in my 40's and we entertain a lot, because we love to cook and have people over.  While some of our friends reciprocate, some don't, and I'm always surprised when I hear people say that they never have parties, because it's so intimidating.  (Athough having read some of these responses, I think I get it).  Anyway, your hsuband has a big birthday and you want to have a celebration but you don't have a big place and finances are tight.  So work with what you have.  First of all, most people love to be invited over.  It doesn't have to be super fancy or expensive, you could get a bunch of chicken from a Peruvian or West Indian place, heat up some rolls, toss a big salad, and voila!  Dinner.  Add a sheet cake, some beer/wine or sangria, and you've got a party!  Or get some pans of lasagna/pasta.  Use paper plates and napkins, put on some music, be warm and welcoming, and people will have a good time.  And if they turn up their noses, they're not folks you want to hang out with in the future.
