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

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 [ LoveNJstyle's advice column | Ask LoveNJstyle A Question ]

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!!!

Brandi_S answered Sunday January 14 2007, 5:35 pm: 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.
