last year we had a blowout housewarming where I made a ton of food....this year we are having a cookout with family and friends and I plan on having hamburgers, hot dogs, orzo salad, fruit salad, chips, beer, water, soda. Our moms will definitely bring a salad or dessert too. I would like for some people to bring a side dish, but not everyone needs to. I was going to put on the evite "we have the basics (hamburgers and hot dogs) covered, side dishes are welcome but not expected", is that rude?
Re: is this rude
Not rude...most people like to bring something to a party anyway.
It's not a birthday party, baby shower or housewarming party... it's a cookout. If I were invited to a cookout, I would bring something, even if I'm not asked. I think it's rude not to. I think letting people know on the e-vite is an appropriate way to tell them, most people wouldn't be offended at all!
you could def do that, or if people are rsvp'ing, wait for them to say "can i bring something?"
It all depends on how comfortable you are with everyone. Im sure if you are a close group of people, they will want to bring dishes to pass.
