Question about Party Invite
I am hosting a 30th birthday party for DH. We are going to provide food, beer, and soda, and will indicate that on the invitation. I am thinking about mentioning something along the lines of 'Feel free to bring the beverage of your choice' below the line 'Food, beer, and soda will be served'.
Is that something that seems acceptable? I think it's fun when people bring drinks that they like, although I don't think it's necessary. It just spices things up, and that way, if someone does not like beer, they can bring their favorite wine or what have you.
Thoughts?

Re: Question about Party Invite
What kind of invite...paper or email...I think paper is harder to do this, email is easier.
I don't think you need to advertise soda, or even food
perhaps something like "I'll have DH's favorite beer on hand, feel free to bring your"
or "feel free to bring your favorite drink, the more the merrier"
or "I'll provide beer and munchies but your contributions are welcome as well"
I am short on time, so I am just doing an e-vite for this one.
Good ideas, thank you much!
Ditto pp - you can simply say "food and drinks." Everyone understands that alcoholic and NA options will be there.
I think in e-vite there's a spot to explain, so that's where I'd put the BYOB part. "Jim and I'll have Miller Lite, Bud Lite and the usual hard spirits. Feel free to bring anything special you're in the mood for!"

Thinking of doing cosmetic updates to a dated home? These were our costs.
I think it is inappropriate to ask or advise people to bring their own drinks to any party where gifts are brought (ie: bday, showers, baptism, graduations). I realize you do not expect anyone to bring a gift but most people do, especially at milestone bdays. If you can afford to, buy a couple bottles of liquor a few 2 liters of pop and maybe some wine. If you or DH have siblings, maybe ask them to help out by picking something up but definitely dont ask guests to basically BYO.
If you cant afford the extras, then just keep it beer and pop and thats okay. I threw DH's 30th at a bowling alley, paid for everyones bowling, beer and pizza. Couldnt afford an open bar with hard alcohol and no one complained, everyone still had a blast!
