birthday party


Question Posted Sunday January 14 2007, 1:28 pm

say for my sweet 16, i wanted to go out for dinner with about 6 of my close friends .. since it's my birthday party type thing, would i have to pay for dinner or would they pay for their own food? what's appropriate and not rude? if it's not necessary that i have to pay then that'd be great =] not to sound cheap but dinner for 7 or 8 people can get kind of expensive

unless your extremly rich or something like that i think its better if everyone pays for theirselves. its not cheap.why would you pay for other people to go to your birthday party. just try to go some where with reasonable prices so no one has to drain their pockets.

You would have to pay for everyone... sorry.

you could have your friends come over to your house and eat a fancy dinner. have your mom pull out her china and nice table cloth and sit in the dining room. have the invites say its a formal party or have anoyher fancy theme like paris or something. order catering or have your mom make regular food and decorate it like it comes from a fancy restaurant. if you need anything else, lemme know. <3

It depends where you go. It could be rude if you ask them to a REALLY expensive place without consulting them about whats in their price range. Just check with everyone first about how much they can spend, because you don't want someone to feel uncomfortable about it; its supposed to be fun!!!

Well, it can work either way.

Usually when some one invites others out to dinner, the host pays for the guests.

But since it's your birthday dinner, most people pay for the dinner of the person who's birthday it is.

It just depends, really. So it is hard to give a good answer.

However, I will say that it is not rude to ask them to pay for their own meals.

You need to pay for them.

It's very, very rude to expect them to come, pay for their food, and give you presents.

If it's too expensive, then don't do this.

Plus, if you didn't tell people before hand, they might not bring money, and then people will feel terrible and awkward.
