Oh, my dear .. Called Potluck!

They say something like:

**** The group of Big birthday for the exchange of Hubby *****

"The theme is" eat with their fingers, and we ask everyone to please bring your favorite food, "Finger Lickin"

The idea is to prevent light and fun. His friends understand the fact that a party is expensive, and fight in these days of all. Thus, a potluck is a great idea, which I'm sure you will not find in the least stringent. So ... What can I bring? lol! :-D

A potluck "would be quite good, but what you describe is not a dinner. If you really want to just" eat with your hands "if you ask, in the invitation, or confusion should be allowed and not prepared with potatoes and green salads, etc. are used

I agree that the menu such things organized, so that you will not end up with 20 bags of chips, someone should say. I think if you are single men on the guest list should not assume that they are not able to eat or buy snacks, or anything but, and I find it to be an insult to be asked, faceplates and alcohol, if M is at least as good cook, as most people, men or women. Give them an option at least.

Miss Manners would think it a bad idea. But if you're already ahead on the path of this game is, I think it's perfectly fine. It is probably a good idea, albeit in a state without gifts.

Strangely, hosted a party where everyone brings his own food. It must be very expensive to operate, but the question which in my mind, why bother to make their own food, very well remain at home and was able to eat comfort. I've never ever heard of this, and a picnic, is an American thing? If you bring your own food at a party here in France, the hostess was insulted and asked to leave immediately, very, very strange. Wait until my friends see this, you will be surprised, you never know what could be the beginning of a new party system. If nothing more to be cheap.

Are you sure that he is often accused of being a miser?

I think it's a bit rude to say that you have a party for her husband, but invites all to bring food. In my opinion it's one or the other. If you have a party for my husband and me to give you all food and beverages. If I have a barbecue or Kegger to have to celebrate the anniversary of my husband, I would say, then you are welcome and are encouraged to bring a court. I would like an invitation to a party where he needs to bring something to be taken.

It would be better to call it a finger food / snacks. Single men wear ice and drinks. But you prefer to resolve this problem in advance, because they do not want to put all the same. 20 bags Frito would be embarrassing.
Moreover, no potluck, which is the pronunciation of the potlatch of the white man. It is an Indian with the guests and offer gifts to the guests bring food. Sometimes, expensive gifts and saddles, blankets, and jewelry. It's really BYOF (food) with an RSVP.

If you've invited or not to refer to invitations that you send have the most important food and drinks (it should). I then ask if it put you mind to share a dish or a snack. It is not at all rude. In fact, you can ask people to bring a dish according to the specific topics, countries, or the season, a lot of fun:)

Hello nachelyd:

I agree with "Mr. Happy's response. The problem is, if you have a birthday party for people who may not be called in the immediate family ...... that their parents or their parents and siblings then ...... there is the assumption that 90% of food and drink is available. potluck birthday parties are the ..... .... because if you say the birthday party. .... Most people want or feel they have to buy . why give to food and a gift is much less than that which is very close to these people.

You can convert all basic food and drinks and put on the invitation. "Do not hesitate to bring your beverage of choice," which means they offer no spirits or wine, my dear ..... and most people ... if they drink alcohol, bring a bottle of wine or spirits or beer to share.

And when Mr. Happy "If you can not afford to offer all the finger food or unwilling to spend time preparing and expecting their results, which also said, b ......Plate ring ...... you have to - "If you have a light meal h'ordurves / dish / snack you want to share or a bottle of your favorite beverage, that would be wonderful!" and "Your presence is needed ..... but you are not available. No Gifts Please, bring your own precious.

And another thing, I think ......... closer to family and close friends to ask whether they can bring something .... then you are free to say ----- "Are you sure? .... and if you want any kind h'ordurve warm would be great ... but please do not feel obligated." Most people who are attentive and friendly are no help or a plate of food or drink to help the setup. And if you closely examine financially for his family one day of production of her husband, b-..... wait a week and just call it "Potluck," as any call to end then perhaps serve as a B-Day cake and ice cream and move everyone to enjoy singing to bir........... thday not bring gifts and a nice surprise for her husband.

Good luck,
Steve

In the invitation, just write it is a potluck party. Nobody thinks it is rude. No if you are real friends, anyway.

To say it's a potluck and ask everyone to bring an appetizer to share. If you provide the drinks, you say it.

It is not rude. Suffice it to say, bring a dish or something similar. Lotsa parties.
